Before starting talks with N.F.L. clubs, Csonka decided to lug his stuff home. He hooked a U-Haul trailer to his silver Cadillac Seville and crammed in his quadraphonic stereo system, clothes, and 700 Ibs. of weights. With Keating aboard for talk, he drove the 746 miles from Memphis to Lisbon (pop. 4,000) in 15 grueling hours, stopping only for gas and a quick breakfast of orange juice, doughnuts and weak coffee.
