Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
The engine says Borkus Maximus was MVP of a shootout Ultimus, but I give it to Vladimir Fyodorovich. There's only so much one can do from the receiver position that's dependent on the QB, though the QB can't catch anything for you. You've gotta make the tough catches and he pulled off just that. More than that, though, he got the special teams ball rolling with a 50-yard punt return TD, staking his name on the game in a way NOLA would never allow their golden goose to even attempt.
He staked his name in every quarter of regulation on the scoresheet. In the second quarter, he took a pass 29 yards to the house, having to cover quite a bit of ground himself to hit paydirt on offense for the first time. In the third, it was a shorter immediate trip, going in from 12 yards out, and in the fourth, he nabbed the go-ahead pass.
And he was everywhere on defense, too! From his position, he made 8 tackles and deflected 2 passes. Man's got serious hands, speed and positioning. For getting all up in everyone's business everywhere and taking over the game for the Second Line, Fyodorovich deserves Ultimus MVP.

Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
In the NSFC, despite their records coming close, the contest was anything but. Baltimore steamrolled the Colorado Yeti 45-7 behind newly-acquired starter Ryan Applehort at QB, the old receiver/tight end corp of Declan Harp, Trey Willie and Verso L'Alto helping him spread the love, Owen Taylor chipping away at ground 6 yards at a time and everyone on defense pitching in to give the Yeti offense fits and get out quick. The disparity in the tackle numbers is a testament to how fast the Hawks pushed the Yeti to punt en route to their third straight Ultimus appearance.
In the ASFC, similar story between the Orange County Otters and New Orleans Second Line. Borkus Maximus III spread the love and the rock around, Smallwood made big strides to bust through the Otters' defense and the Second Line defensive corps yielded very little while making big plays to kill the OCO attack. While having to punt away more often, the defensive stands had the offense more comfortable and not in desperate straits to force any risky shots.
In the Ultimus, we got a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy in NOLA. Blow after blow traded, offensive might against offensive might, Fyodorovich coming through as the hero the Second Line needed throughout the contest and we even got overtime in the title match. Both teams got their fair crack at it and the Second Line were ultimately victorious when the Maximus to Smallwood connection locked up NOLA's second title in three seasons and in their home confines, they could turn right on up Bourbon Street for the immediate celebration.

Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game
How was Vladimir Fyodorovich not the player of the game according to the stat monkeys? They favor QBs, that's how! The man caught three TD passes and that only served to make Borkus Maximus III look good to the machines! But Maximus doesn't go out and get it done on special teams. No need for him to take that chance.
The best play from the title tilt was Fyodorovich's 50-yard punt return touchdown late in the first quarter to put NOLA up 14-7. With Baltimore stalling out deep in their own territory, Turk Turkleton punted out and had to accept it was going to be returnable. Guess coach should have called for more coverage on the punt or for Turkleton to take it easy, because Fyodorovich took off through them all from midfield with certainty of starting with great field position.
He wanted it all, though! Fyodorovich followed excellent blocks through the midfield chaos and found his open lane after another cut through traffic, heading down the right sideline and winning the footrace with Turkleton, the last man to beat, for his first of what would end up being four touchdowns for the day. Underrated play, excellent special teams sequence and the Second Line had their real Superman take flight.

Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else. Can be completed at any point
You know there are no teams that failed to make the playoffs deserved to. The wraith stunk, the sabercats probably had one of the worst sim in NSFL history, the outlaws stunk. But the Liberty also did not make the playoffs and they have every right NOT TO. They are a terrible team with a terrible roster with a sickening fanbase. They have one of the worst QB in the league but I do not blame him because philly's offense is also shit. They try their best to stay relevant by shit talking and being the biggest dumpsters in the league and they are being more artistic. Brown is probably their worst player because of his dumb thoughts and crappy plays and he is a terrible teammate. Making the 30-14 game so important even though we all know the Hawks were not even trying that game as they were celebrating an early ultimus appearance once again. But the hawks tried in week 13 and they just kicked their ass. The liberty making the playoffs is a joke and funny because it will never happen again. Their team sucks, their city sucks and their fanbase is the biggest joke to this league.
Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game
Probably the best ultimus game ever. The rematch once again between NOLA and the hawks. It starts of an instance TD from the hawks but NOLA strikes back with its own TD. Then NOLA gets the ball back and they score another TD in the 1st quarter and it is 14-7 at the end of 1st. 2nd quarter starts and Taylor gets the TD for his team to tie it. NOLA fails an attempt and the hawks get the ball back and close to the end zone and end up with a field goal by Turkleton to grab a 17-14 lead. But borkus strikes with a pass to Fyodorovich for a TD and it is now 21-17 at the end of half. Nothing so far half way through the 3rd but the hawks get the field goal from Turkleton to cut the lead to just 1. Bovo strikes again as he passes to Fyodorovich again and it is a TD to make it 28-20. But apple replies with a great pass to Valentine to make it a 1 point game once again and we head to the 4th. The Hawks score a TD to finally a lead near the end but NOLA strikes with an 8 point play just in case. Hawks get the FG, we head to OT and NOLA wins
Hate the player or the game: Tell us which team made the playoffs and shouldn't have, or which team didn't and should have? (Can be completed at any point)
The Colorado Yeti should not have made the playoffs. How dare they lose to those dirty Philadelphia Liberties when anyone especially the sabercats could. I am not going to say the Liberty should have made the playoffs but fuck that, they do not deserve shit because they are shit. The Yeti have good offense but their defense sucks. They do not have anyone in the defense like an LB or DT and that makes them bad. In order to win, you need good defense and how could the Yeti win it. They have allowed 417 points during the season which is actually worse than the Wraith. God knows how they won games but it is what it is. At least they got to be ahead of Philly which is fine but making the playoffs. I do not know any other team that made the playoffs that failed because the Hawks deserved it, the Second Line deserved and the Otters deserved it with that defense and win streak. But the Yeti have a pretty close record with Philly which is very unacceptable and whoever has a close record with the shit team like Philly then feel disappointed with yourself. Its true.

Sit down with a fan: I interviewed iseedoug
Sit down with a star: @iseedoug interviewed me:
1. The Hawks recently lost the Ultimus, missing a chance at winning back-to-back championships. Thoughts on what the Hawks did wrong? Or was this NOLA team just stronger than last year’s team?
I don't really think the team as a whole did anything wrong, and I certainly can't place anything on the management. I really think that Colorado and Philadelphia making the strides that they did made the division just that much more competitive throughout the season. But that championship game could have so easily gone either way and everyone knows how hard it is to win on the road. That's just the breaks.
2. After several very successful seasons for the Hawks, do you think there will be a fall off? Several players has retired, and word is there may be more QB changes. What do you think the Hawks future looks like?
I don't think there will be a fall-off, at least not like we've seen with other teams. I think the Hawks will be able to avoid a full rebuild. As far as a QB change, yeah, Apple left for Yellowknife. Gambino has been working with the QBs coach, so I think they have a plan in place for that too.
3. As a Tight-End, do you think your stats each season shed light on your importance to the team? Are there any records you are chasing for your career?
You know, that's a good question, because I'm not sure that they do. I've been open about how my stats have declined season after season being in the league. This season they picked up again a little, but they aren't where I imagine they should be for someone of my caliber. Often times I do wonder, how my contribution would look differently if I were on another team...I'm chasing all the records man. I think I may be able to get close with a little more volume.
4. As a Luchadore Alum and Fan, what the heck happened this season? The 3-peat champs fell.
You know, I couldn't really tell you. I've talked with Epictitus [Milburn] about it and he doesn't really know either. Clearly, they made a push towards the end of the season but couldn't finish the job to win a fourth championship. At some point you have to wonder if they were struggling with a mental roadblock trying to accomplish something that hasn't been done before. But regardless, 5 straight championship game appearances is nothing to scoff at.

2. PLAYOFF SERIES MVP
Lets talk a little about Tijuana Luchadores quarterback Andreas Metaxas, and how he almost single-handedly won the SFC Championship Game against the San Antonio Marshals. Now, you might look at his somewhat unsightly quarterback rating and think, how in the world do you think this guy won a game basically by himself. I promise you though, he had a performance to write home about. It starts with his timely touchdown pass to Jaylen Hobbs at the beginning of the second quarter. It helped keep the score respectable, as the Marshals had a fourteen point lead at the end of the first. Several key passes later, including a twenty-nine yard connection with Halvorsen, Tijuana was going into the fourth quarter with just a three point lead. Metaxas seven yard touchdown run with seven minutes left in the fourth iced the game and got the Luchadores within arms reach of a fourth straight Ultimini. For the game, Metaxas completed fifty-seven percent of his passes for two hundred yards and one touchdown, and also ran for a Luchadores playoff record one hundred thirty one yards and a touchdown as well. It was one hell of a game for the speedy quarterback Andreas Metaxas and that is why he was the SFC Championship's Most Valuable Player.
3. ROBBED
OK, hear me out on this one. Allow me to present to you why the Philadelphia Liberty should have made the playoffs over the Colorado Yeti. No doubt, the Yeti had an impressive season. They scored the second most points in the league, topped by only the New Orleans Second Line. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Liberty had the absolute best defense in the league, or at least as close as a team can get. They were number one in all of the NSFL in scoring defense, passing yards allowed, and total yards allowed. The only place that they fell outside of the top spot was rushing yards allowed, where they were fourth in the league, but still held the number one spot in the NSFC. Take the flip side of this, where the Yeti were in last place in every significant defensive category. When you break it down, Colorado only held their opponent to under twenty points three times all season. Also, while the Yeti held a 6-1 record at home, they were dreadful on the road, winning only two contests by a total of eight points. Granted, the Yeti did win one more game than Philly, but the Liberty's home and away splits are much more even. It seems to me that if you're looking for the most complete teams to compete in the playoffs, you would include the Philadelphia Liberty.
4. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME RECAP
The best play from the championship game has to be the fifty yard punt return by Second Line cornerback turned wide receiver Vladimir Fyodorovich. Special teams touchdowns, in my opinion, are some of the most exciting plays in all of football. They're rare, and usually very fast paced, which makes them super exciting to watch. In this case, the momentum was changing back in forth in a very fast paced offensive game. Neither team was having trouble driving down the field, as both teams had scored a touchdown already and there was still over two minutes to go in the first quarter. After a terrible punt by Turk Turkleton that traveled only thirty yards, Fyodorovich caught the ball at the fifty and quickly returned it all the way for a touchdown. The play took all of twenty seconds off of the play clock. It was a momentum shifting play that put the Second Line ahead by a score, who eventually went on to win the game, 42-36 in overtime. You can never go back and say for certain what might have been, but in one of the best Ultimus games that has been played in a long time, the Second Line may have been watching the celebration from the sidelines without Fyodorovich and his special teams heroics.

Playoff series MVP: Vladimir Fyodorovich
Vladimir Fyodorovich had a field day in the Ultimus, as part of the Second Line's conquest to retake the Ultimus trophy from the Hawks. Fyodo was flying everywhere. Fyodorovich had been asked to take on a bigger role within the team to begin the year, making the switch from CB -> WR and making the immediate leap to WR1. He did not fail in this task, as he flashed his playmaking abilities. Throughout the game, he notched 10 catches for 99 yards, and that also included 3 touchdowns. So he was delivering in the red zone; what else did he do? One of the game changing moments during the Ultimus was his 50 yard punt return for a touchdown. The Second Line went on to win the game in dramatic fashion, with retiree Darren Smallwood reaching over the plane of the end zone and delivering the touchdown to seal the game. While it's nearly impossible to play hypotheticals in football, or any sport for that matter where one play could have such a chain reaction, I think we can all agree that without Fyodorovich's contributions to the Second Line's effort, the Doots would not have been hoisting up the Ultimus at the end of the fight.
Sit-down with a fan: I interviewed @Shrodawg
1. Congrats on a great regular season. What do you think went well for you and your team this year?
2. Do you have any big superstitions?
3. What could you work on this offseason to get better all-around?
4. Do you have any preference between the NSFL cities (Phoenix/Philly/Baltimore/Yellowknife/Denver/San Jose/Orange County/New Orleans) as far as weather?
I think we just had a really great roster overall on both sides of the ball. We had the best defense in the league and I think big time guys like Charlie Trout, Logan Lejune, and Axel Hornbacher played a big part in that. We weren't the top offense in the league, but we got it done when we needed to and had confidence in our defense.
My biggest superstition is my socks. I actually wear a pair of black dress socks underneath my regular socks. My feet get pretty sweaty so I started wearing a lighter pair of black dress socks to help them absorb more sweat and kept wearing them when we starting winning games this season.
I think my overall athleticism is going to be something I work on this offseason. I don't have the speed or agility as some of the other Tight Ends in the league and I need to work on that to get a starting spot at the next level.
I think a colder climate like Denver or Yellowknife would be great since I'm from Canada and a warmer city like Phoenix or anything in California would be too hot for me.

2. Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else.
Well, if you've read anything I've written, you know I'm a homer. But honestly, the fact that the Yellowknife Wraiths didn't make the playoffs is bogus. The fact that they were the second worst team in the league is even worse. We've seen it before with a Pennington at the helm of a team, but Brad Pennington really faltered late. The Wraiths have one of the best defences in the league, an adequate running back, some exciting young receivers. The one glaring hole is the quarterback play. Now Brad isn't even that bad. But his lack of improvement throughout the season is what hurt us. But look at the teams that made it in the NSFC. Baltimore is good, but the Yeti? Really? The Yeti? They are not a good team. A mediocre defense and and even worse quarterback, and yet the double the Yellowknife Wraiths win total. How does that happen? I'll tell you how. The fix is in against the Wraiths. We've been too good for too long. Now the league wants to handicap us at every point. They've kicked out all Yellowknife head office members, they've invoked the Brad Pennington Clause (where anyone named Brad Pennington must immediately start sucking), and they've repeatedly encouraged teams to not trade with us.

3. New Talent: Write about which S11 trade will or did have the biggest impact in the playoffs.
This one is recent so it may be cheating, but Ryan Applehort being traded to the Wraiths will have a huge impact on the playoffs. But not this season. Next season playoffs. Finally, the Wraiths have a quarterback again. It's a long time coming since the departure of Matt Akselsen. Ryan Applehort is the only real piece we had missing from making the Wraiths great again. Finally, we will have an offense to match our stingy defense. Now, giving up a piece like Antonio Summer is a tough one, as well as the second overall pick, but it is worth it. There's not a whole lot of room for improvement on the defence, and we have young piece all over the offence. We just need a leader. Expect the Wraiths back in the playoffs in S12, even if their defensive cornerstone Cameron Taylor has entered the final years of his career. In Applehort we trust. So while this trade will have no impact on this year's playoffs, it has changed the landscape of the NSFC for the next few season. Baltimore has been great at picking up some really good pieces moving forward, but Yellowknife needs a quarterback again. All of a sudden, we are in a winning mode again.
212
4. Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them.
It has to be Borkus Maximus III. Doesn't matter which game or series, the answer is Borkus Maximus III. The guy was on fire during the playoffs. But I'll write about the fianls, because it was the most important game. If you can't win the last game of the season, does it really matter how well the previous games went? Well, luckily, Borkus saved his best for last. 33/51 isn't that great, but when you look at the other stats, Borkus excelled. 400 yards and 4 TDs may be better than what Brad Pennington did all year for the Wraiths. Borkus was an animal. It would be easy to give it to Darren Smallwood as well. Going for 139 yards and a touchdown on the ground with another 20 yards and a touchdown receiving is pretty impressive. But for the most part, those stats are a result of the game management of Borkus Maximus III. Another standout probably could have been Fyodorovich, who caught 3 TDs, but again, was this success due to his dominance over a very good defence, or was it due to Borkus peppering the defence through the air all night. My thinking is that Borkus was too dominant for anyone to handle and that opened up holes for the other stars of the defence to succeed.

The San Jose Sabercats. Crazy? Probably. Should have made the playoffs over someone? Maybe not but the team should have performed better than they have over the season. To start the season, QB Christ's ratings were not exactly correct in the file and who knows if maybe they pick up a few extra wins with that. San Jose lost at the last 2nd twice on the season and was in many of the games that they played. San Jose has a very talented team, one that can definitely win some games and one that will definitely win some games. Next season will be a huge step for them in terms of development and if they play just a little better than this season, they will be a force. The team played well enough at times to be a playoff team and put them up against any of the opponents, they have a shot depending on the situation. San Jose is better than people think, the talent is there, and it is coming! With one more year of development from the offensive core of Christ, Canton, Orosz, Oles, Flash and Brannigan, the team could be the most potent on the offensive end. The defense is still a work in progress but the pieces at corner and some at linebacker are there also. Look out for the cats.
4. That Magic Moment: Pick one moment from a playoff game and describe what made it so amazing to watch. (Must be completed after the game you write about)
The magic moment was in the NSFC title game when Ryan Applehort stepped out on the field against his former team, the Colorado Yeti. The game was in Baltimore so it was not as raucous as it would have been had the game been in Colorado but still, it caused some strong reactions amongst fans. Applehort passed for 4 touchdowns to just one interception along with 410 yards in the game. Applehort was determined in the game, going to prove that it was a mistake for Colorado to not treat their franchise QB the right way. While Taylor was also a star in the game, it was Applehort against his former team that was in the spotlight. Colorado started out the game with the lead, how would Applehort bounce back? That was a big factor in the game. What he did to respond was drive down the field and throw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Trey Willie to tie the game. After that, he was dominant all game, leading the Hawks to a dominant 45-7 win. It was a tremendous moment for Applehort getting that win as he flipped the bird to all the Yeti fans in the stadium after the win.

Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
I am going to write about the DSFL playoffs since I paid more attention to it this season and didn't really care about the NSFL playoffs. In the SFC playoffs, the Luchadores played the Marshals and they were the heavy underdogs going into this game having lost 9 games in the season. The Luchadores rallied in the second quarter and kept their momentum going as they beat the Marshals 31-20 in impressive fashion. It was totally unexpected and their team actually played really well even though they were on the road. In the NFC playoffs, things were looking close for both teams and no one scored in the first quarter. It was the Pythons who struck first and kept their scoring going as the best defense in the DSFL held the Coyotes to 6 points and the offense was able to score on 2 drives in the fourth quarter to dominate the Coyotes. In the very unexpected Ultimini game, we saw the Luchadores get the early lead in the first quarter and the teams trade off field goals. It was the second half of the game that the Pythons were able to score a touchdown and another field goal while the defense clamped down on the Luchadores to win the game!
Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
The playoff series MVP for me in the DSFL was Errol Maddox @PigSnout. He was our wide receiver 2 for the longest time behind Sunnycursed, but I think towards the end of the regular season he was showing signs that he was becoming the better receiver. In the Ultimini game against the Tijuana Luchadores, Maddox was our best receiver all game getting 6 receptions, 55 yards, and 1 touchdown while averaging 9.2 yards. His longest was the longest in the game since it was only 14 and Sunnycursed had a 23 yard reception, but Johnson Cox III was finding him on great routes and seams and without his late third quarter touchdown I don't think we would have won the game against the Luchadores. We needed him throughout the game and he showed up every time and caught the ball in crunch time. He was the key player in that game and was solid for many plays in the second half. I will be sad that I won't get to play with him anymore since he's a great player. Heck, we knew we could count on him because he had the most touchdowns in the regular season and the second longest at 45 yards.

4. I think a colder climate like Denver or Yellowknife would be great since I'm from Canada and a warmer city like Phoenix or anything in California would be too hot for me.
thanks!

1) How did it feel to make the Ultimus game for the first time?
2) What do you think you could have done better that game?
3) Who's your favorite all-time NSFL QB?
4) What is going to be different for you now in YK?
1. Well, it really felt tremendous. After so much losing, I was finally on the winning end of the spectrum. I got my chance, with everyone watching, on the biggest stage to show how good I really was, and I was extremely thankful for the opportunity given to me by the Baltimore Hawks.
2. After looking back and going over the game tape, I feel like I was a bit too conservative on some passing plays. The offense sputtered in overtime likely because of this, and we missed out on some key chances to capitalize. I understood we had to stay on schedule, but I feel I may have overdid it and cost us the game.
3. My all time favorite NSFL QB is Mat Akselsen. A lot of the famous NSFL quarterbacks have been pocket passers, almost every single one of them, even myself. But Akselsen played differently. He was a mobile guy, a guy who would use his legs to create plays, not just throwing the ball 40 times a game. He was a guy you had to change the gameplan to work against; he was just so different from everyone else.
4. I'm gonna have to become a better leader. I already know that my teammates will come to expect a lot of me, having just went to the Ultimus on a different team. I'm ready for the challenge, though. Obviously Yellowknife is much different from Baltimore or any other city in the NSFL, so I'm gonna have to plan accordingly.

Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
The Playoff MVP of the series between the Colorado Yeti and the Baltimore Hawks in the NSFC Championship game, without a doubt, has to be Owen Taylor the now retiring running back of multiple seasons. In the hugely important game, that analysts predicted would be a close battle between the young and upcoming Yeti, and the old and experienced Hawks, Owen Taylor put on an absolute clinic. Finishing the game with 1 touchdown and 188 yards on 30 carries for an average of 6.3 yards per carry, Owen Taylor along with the now departed Ryan Applehort were the two biggest reasons why the Hawks were able to absolutely blowout the Yeti, shocking many fans and experts. Had you asked now retired defensive end Arbin Asipi Jr though, you would've heard something else. "Yea we expected to destroy them. Ask anyone on the team, we knew we were a way better team, and had it been any closer than a 3 td blowout, we would've been disappointed with ourselves. Yea I knew Taylor would pop off, the Yeti will never be able to stop him." Big words from the 1 time champion, but 3 time runner up. The only other player you can even say had a tiny grasp of being MVP was Applehort, and he threw a pick.

Interview with @ADwyer87
1.) What was it like having to watch the team that drafted you go into the playoffs, but you weren't able to play?
It wasn't really a big deal to me. I asked to be kept down, and the pro club was more than happy to accommodate me. In the end, its always nice to get a good extra year in the DSFL for your career. Just look at Xavier Flash and Kazimir Oles last season, both were rookies, but Flash shined because of his extra year. I'm setting myself up for success, and in turn im setting the Otters up for success
2.) What was winning the Ultimini like?
Honestly it was a huge weight off my back. I feel like we should have won the Ultimini last year, and we just played a terrible game. Now we get a chance to redeem ourselves this season, and we have the best year any DSFL team has had so far. I'm very happy with the outcome and its been a long time coming.
3.) How did you celebrate winning the ultimini?
Why are you asking? I'm not telling a narc like you what i did, you'll snitch
4.) Do you believe you'll be one of the best NSFL WRs next season?
I think it will take a while, Otters are still using a three wideout rotation, lots of mouths to feed. But I can tell you for sure, once the GM wises up and puts me in that first spot on the depth chart, the Wide Receiver of the Year trophy aint gonna be leaving my hands for a LONG time
