I firmly believe in one "conspiracy theory." Maybe it's not so crazy, others have told me they think it's plausible as well actually. Let's be honest though, it's always a risk with putting a theory out there even if it is plausible, and likely honest.
I firmly believe that the United States government has multiple reasons why they don't want upper education to be free and it revolves around two things: Money and Armed Forces.
College is being pushed and pushed as being necessary to achieve in today's world. Things are becoming more tech focused and more specialized so it stands to reason that college education is certainly more important than it has ever been. But have you ever noticed how much text books have gone up in price? Have you ever noticed how much tuition has gone up? Who controls the loans, oh right, the federal government. More students enrolled means more loans for the federal government. Who knows where that's being spent....oh wait, the armed forces.
Not only is it a matter of the armed forces being funded via college income, but what is the main reason people join the armed forces to begin with? Because they can't afford college and the armed forces provides funding for that or a different path to a career. There's a reason why the United States spends so much on the armed forces and there's a reason why they have a huge standing army.

I think sim leagues, particularly this one, use bad sim engines to keep people interested in the league. Let say, in a perfect sim engine, the teams that game plan the most and have the most TPE win the most games? Well, I think the leagues use just a little broken sim engines in order to create the illusion that "anything can happen". This makes people in the sim leagues think that there's a chance at playoffs, even though they shouldn't have one. If a team is always on the outside looking in, do you think their player retention will be high? I don't think so. So I think that the HO advertises a random sim engine, but in reality...
They are fixing the results prior to streaming in order to keep teams and players invested in the streams and league proceedings. It more exciting, but also more scandalous.
Just think, just when the league wanted to wash the bad taste of the Outlaws out of their mouth, all of a sudden, the golden boy Otters show up and win 13 games per season. How does that happen all of a sudden directly after a controversy. You tell me.
Just when lots of Liberty and Hawks players started complaining about their division and the playoff format, the Wraiths (defending conference champs) tie the Second Line at home, leaving the division wide open. Convenient? I think so.
Wake up sheeple.

Allow me to regal you with a tale of a Nsfl wide conspiracy, one that will rock you to the very core of your being. Many know that claims of rigging come and go many without even so much as a shred of evidence. HOWEVER this is not one of those tales, no this is as true as the sun rising to the east and setting to the west. This is the league wide conspiracy to make the greatest kicker known to man miss his extra point kicks! That man is none other than Turk Turkleton! You see the entire league (unbeknownst to Turk) has been trying to keep Turk from scoring his extra point kicks. They use dirty tricks like deflating the ball ever so slightly, placing a small weight inside the balls to throw off its trajectory, and even paying off the ball holder to purposely hold the ball wrong! Now I'm not too sure why they do this but if I had to guess I'd say money. The forces to be must place bets on when Turk will miss an extra point kick. We all know how it is in Vegas they bet on everything there and most likely these forces to be bet millions of dollars on Turk missing a kick! That's when they mess with the poor lad and make him miss from no fault of his own!

With such a dominate performance in the DSFL S3 season, I believe the league was trying to stop the Portland Pythons from becoming a back to back champion. Maybe it’s to increase parity or encourage me to leave the league as a GM, but whatever the case may be I’m certain that Head Office was trying to destroy the possibility of me creating a back to back or even 3 time DSFL championship team. Think about it…I drafted and developed the most dominate DSFL team the league has ever seen with the most actives by the end of the season and most balanced offense with Roenick, Aaron, Storm, McPoyal, and Gore. That is no small feat and even with the most TPE gained we still couldn’t defeat the Palm Beach Solar Bears in the Ultimini finals. I believe the league was trying to stop Portland from dominating the league and created the bot teams with an arbitrarily set amount of TPE without testing them so that they would easily defeat our team. They went through Tijuana like butter in the playoffs and when it was all said and done we couldn’t beat them with home field advantage. Head office is evil and must be stopped from taking these kinds of actions in the future!

Cordell Joshua believes many conspiracies, most of which originate from influential talk show host and free thinking maverick Alex Jones. Yes you read that correctly, the man of Info Wars fame (or notoriety) has birthed some of the most sensational theories about what goes on behind the scenes in the world that the general public is just to blind to want to see. His ideas including the belief that Hilary Clinton is the devil incarnate, the negative effects of chemtrails, Pizza Gate, 9/11 being an inside job and most importantly, the US government testing chemicals on troops in Vietnam that had the effect of turning people gay, and as he famously stated, their release into a body of water "turned the frickin' frogs gay". Joshua was initially won over by Jones' well reasoned, well informed and well thought out logic behind his rants, and before long Joshua was an avid watcher of Info Wars and similar news sources. Joshua is a big buyer of Brain Force Plus, a supplement released by Jones and his theorist colleagues, which has incredible nootropic properties, however the NSFL decided to ban its use among players; a new conspiracy in its own right perhaps?

The otters are robots. I mean it has to be obvious. What kind of team wins that many championships and a QB being this good. The outlaws were already caught by this after having a team runned by robots. But this is legit. And the NSFL have not done a thing yet. It is impossible for the otters to be good because they are the otters and otters are suppose to be bad.
The owner is a robotic person and builds robots. He hired people who also do the same and the GM controls the robots to win. In fact, the robots pay the refs the money so that they can win. But this season is different because of low battery. It may make me crazy saying this but it is absolutely true. No one wants to say this because they do not want to be fucked by robots who will obviously demolish them.
Otters are robots and there is no robots that they are not. Players have not been meeting the media and their running back is faster than Usain Bolt which is impossible. Their QB is like having unlimited steroids with that power. Do not call me crazy but it is true.

You want to talk about government cover ups? While everyone in this country is arguing over gun control and is the Earth flat, the greatest long con ever pulled off by the world leaders is happening right under your very feet. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s time to log off your Snapbooks and Instapics and educate yourself. I’m here to inform you that not only is the Earth round, it’s hollow. The myth of a molten hot magma lava center was created long ago merely as a deterrent to keep people from digging down and discovering this intricate underground infrastructure. There are tunnels, and stairwell, elevators, massive conference rooms, and even those moving walkways like you see in the Jetsons cartoons transporting the world’s most powerful people around in a moment’s notice. Did you know that 99% of the time Air Force One is in the air, it’s borderline empty? Of course, it has the pilot and copilot and maybe another staff member but no US president has stepped foot on an airplane since the 19th century and possibly before. You may ask, what is there to gain from this secret path everywhere. This will be where all the powerful people retreat when the apocalypse happens. Stop being fooled by your shady government, people.

Now I know I have talked about this before and ya'll are probably tired of hearing me go on and on and on about it but I still think the Luchadores rigged that week 5 game against us when we were on the road in Tijuana. I'm not goin' to make any excuses on my own play now, but I do believe that, hand to god, the referees were paid off by the Luchadores team. They already have a corrupt government and bad economy. Why do you think so many of them are tryin' to come to our great United States of America illegally?!? We had 10 goddamn penalties for 103 yards for cryin' out loud! They even called holdin' on Christ after he handed off a pass to Gore just because Christ touched one of their players! Now don't get me started on those unsportsmanlike conduct calls. I'll show you what unsportsmanlike conduct is really like down in Texas. Between that and 'unnecessary roughness' I was about ready to throw my helmet at the referee and tackle him down myself! How's that for unnecessary roughness?!? The referees won that game for you Tijuana. Ain't no doubt about that if I had to bet the family farm. A true conspiracy to beat us if I ever saw one.

In the last 4 years the combined for 6 wins, averaging just 1.5 wins per year. A team doesn't become this bad naturally, especially not a team that was one of the best in the league in the first two years. The decline started with the Yeti missing the playoffs in Season 2 despite being the best team in the NSFC by point differential. Coincidentally, the tiebreaker after conference record and head to head record happened to be points scored, a tiebreaker that directly disadvantages defensive teams like the Yeti in favor of offensive teams like the Wraiths. It doesn't make sense why the league would choose an unbalanced tiebreaker like this unless they had an ulterior motive to let the Wraiths make the playoffs in favor of the Yeti. Missing the playoffs started a chain reaction as the Yeti saw key players go inactive or request trades during the long off season that resulted from missing the playoffs and the roster was left decimated. However, there was still a chance the Yeti could be dragged into contention by their star quarterback Logan Noble. Then Noble was suddenly found to have illegal TPE on his account. How did this all happen? My conspiracy theory is that the league intentionally tanked the Yeti. They made sure the Yeti missed the playoffs and then took over Noble's account to add illegal TPE so that they would have a reason to ban him and ensure the Yeti would be trapped in the gutter. The top 6 teams in the league joined together and decided to make two cupcake teams, so that they would be assured some easy wins each season to boost confidence and pad stats before competing with each other. The two teams destined to be bottom feeders were the Yeti and the Legion. When the Legion started showing signs of improvement, the other teams hacked accounts of Legion players to sow discord in their locker room and orchestrate a mass retirement to take them back down. So in reality, the Yeti and the Second Line are not actually bad teams, they are just being forced to the bottom of the standings by a league-wide conspiracy. That's the only reasonable possibility.

This is a conspiracy of the utmost disgust and sadness. You will shake, and quake, in your boots when you hear of it. The dastardly and vile deed committed by the BALTIMORE Hawks is something that only the most destitute of society could dream of doing.
Baltimore head GM @HENDRIX was at the S6 scouting combine, looking at the new talent, when his phone rang. It was none other than Jonathan Shaloiko, Hawk fan favorite, and leading candidate for their ring of honor. Well, Shaloiko had just gotten back from his multi-year mission trip in the Congo, and he wanted to come back into the fold. Hendrix said yes immediately; the ability to add a receiver of his quality does not come around very often. Before Shaloiko could even respond, Hendrix blurted out a contract of $29,000,000 over four years. Obviously, this was some great money, and Shaloiko accepted, heading over to Baltimore to take the physical. Shaloiko took the physical and it all cleared, and Jonathan was ready to put ink to paper. Well, at that exact moment, famed receiver Zobot StoneHands was let go by the San Jose SaberCats, and Shaloiko mysteriously failed his physical as announced by Hendrix. When pressed he only had this to say,
"While Shaloiko was helping the poor of this world, he contracted Ebola in the Congo. Now, I don't know how this is gonna shake out in the locker room, but our medical staff just can't take any chances."
With that, the contract was void and a mysterious traveler by the name of Robot GoodHands was seen traveling to Baltimore from San Jose.
It is this reporters opinion that the Hawks clearly did not want to sign Shaloiko once a proven commodity was on the market and made up a false rumor to get out of a bad contract offered to Mr. Shaloiko. Hawks GM Hendrix should be ashamed of themselves.
We reached out to Jonathan over social media, and he only had one thing to say,
"I don't think I have the skill set they're looking for...run deep, and try to draw a PI flag..."
