At almost 5 a.m., it was 15 degrees and dark except for a few headlights from the vehicles idling in the parking lot, heaters running. Daniel James, the coach and keeper of the keys, was nowhere to be found, meaning practice would start a little late for the new D.C. Armor indoor football team. Some of the players dozed.
