Blackfeet aim to attract tourist

BROWNING — On Sunday morning during Indian Days, Brynnlee St. Goddard skipped breakfast and rushed over to Native Life, a fabric store in downtown Browning, where she’s worked for three years. The 19-year-old measured, cut and folded fabric with determined focus, hoping some of the thousands of tourists visiting her hometown would find their way into the store.

The other common denominator on their résumés: zero Super Bowl rings.

Three of the Bucs’ veteran signings this offseason — including Jones and Rudolph within the past 11 days — all entered training camp on the other side of age 30. They all signed one-year deals, too.
