10) Reform
Written: If you were in charge of managing the league, what changes would you make to make it better run?
I have brought this up before but we really need to introduce a restricted free agency period to protect teams and get them compensation for when a player just bounces after a team invests draft capital into a player only for them to run off to be with their friends. This is not for any particular player, but for a broad net of protection since we obviously do not want bad teams to stay bad and some shallow drafts with their first round pick going off the next season is not ideal in any sense of the word. Compensation also should not be based off draft position, but TPE count in the form of a bracket. It would be realistic for a draft bust to go to FA after a season, not some stud rookie. Another thing I would allow is no restrictions on articles that attack or insult players, thus users not needing to ask for permission. That makes articles lame if another use gets a heads up and sees it coming, taking away the shock factor. A lot of people claim that they can't separate player from user but I can and we should take each article through a case by case basis in fact there is something that targets a user directly.

215 Words +2.58) Scouting Report
Written: Write a scouting report for one of the incoming draftees in either the NSFL or DSFL.
Reynaud Haugland s considered one of the top 5 Tight Ends in the upcoming NSFL Entry Draft, widely put in the range of 3-4 behind Firestorm-Fjord and McDavid who will slot in ahead of him. Haugland is considered an all around Tight End, but his numbers are not particularly eye popping since Norfolk ran two tight ends in their formation but from the eye test it as clear that Reynaud was outright better, and had the best hands on the team-- Yet was not used. Lack of trust from the coaching staff? Is there some form of animosity between him and the QB? He is intense and his personal nature of head butting with others is a definite detraction to the man who was almost shipped out of Norfolk earlier in the year. He has good speed for a player of his size, but nothing out of the ordinary. His strength is alright? It worked out fine enough since he made no mistakes but scouts wanted to see them more involved as a blocker. He is not faster than the higher ranked TEs, nor has he shown to be physically stronger. Heck, McDavid shows flashes of being a better catcher as well so the rankings are clear cut here. Haugland needs to add more dimensions to his game and fill out, he is expected to go somewhere in the 4th round.

Written: If your team didn’t win the title this year, why do you believe they can win the next year (or the year after that)?
Okay so given how the draft works I am likely to be sent down again, unless I am asked to make some sort of position change to fit the NSFL's team needs--I am open to going straight up but let us speak as if I will be back in Norfolk. I feel that the team get a good job getting chances to allow their offense opportunities but it started to became clear later in on the season that Cal was just not improving, which is a big blow to the Seawolves since he was taken so high in the DSFL draft. Norfolk's QB recorded the most interceptions in the league with 20, 4 more than the next worst. Rated just below the league average, Cal is not going to pair well with the receivers on the team if he does not improve so this may be painful to say but the team SHOULD look to get another QB to give a look to that may be able to take that next step if Cal is so unwilling to do so. Overall Norfolk just needs to keep improving in other areas of the team while having a solid draft and they have some really good players that can be the core of this team. Rushing game is efficient with their two headed monster, and their O-LINE only allowed 20 sacks, 2nd in sacks, T-2 in interceptions, most TDs made by a defense with 4. They had all the pieces but when a QB mails it in, what can you do?

3) Revenge
In the playoffs this season, the New Orleans Second Line faced the Austin whatever their name is. I genuinely can not remember right now, this is embarrassing. I guess that shows how I feel about their team. That game was a bullshit game all around sadly. So many missed opportunities for us and so many odd things happened. Austin ended up getting a safety early on which happens super rarely. Then we got stopped at the one yard line one time, which is just a really painful way for a drive to end. On top of that, we also missed a crucial field goal that would have given us the lead in the game, from a guy who only missed one field goal all season. It was just a painful game all around and shows how badly the sim treated us all season long sadly. In the end, Austin won the title, so we really do need to get revenge on them next season and I can not wait to make that happen. I think we will likely battle with them for a long time, so it is good to get used to this rivalry and hopefully we can get some revenge soon. No but seriously, what is their team called?
7) Next Year
This season, the New Orleans Second Line got screwed by the sim several times. If it was not for some outrageous losses as favorites, then we would have easily been a tougher contender in the playoffs. Think of it this way, if we had won a home game against San Jose where we were favorited by 89% then we would have had home field advantage against Austin and the series probably looks different in the playoffs. Seriously why am i unable to remember their team name. This is starting to bother me. Next season, hopefully the sim will not screw us that same way. We are also going into that season in a way where we end up being most likely number one in TPE in the league and we should be able to dominate and win a lot of games next season and hopefully bring a title home as well. We are set up in a way where we have all the talent we need to make a strong push to win a title or several in the next few seasons but especially next season ought to be really strong as we are going to be really taking advantage of the best players we have on the roster and hopefully we can make it work well.
16) Dynasty
Like I mentioned previously, the New Orleans Second Line ought to lead the league in TPE by next season as a team and that ought to continue for a long time actually as we are looking at still being a really young team and we should be able to have a lot of success as a team and win a lot of games. I think we are a possible dynasty if we end up just doing our thing and continuing on our really successful path. We are set up for success in a lot of ways and hopefully we can get some titles in this current run and set up the basis for a dynasty. I really think we have all the tools available to us as we have a team full of actives in pretty much every position, so we ought to be able to manage being able to win some titles for this team. Our team has an insanely active locker room and we are all all in and should be able to manage to continue to grow as a team and gain even more TPE as a whole team to make sure that our team gets better every season and then has home field advantage and such and manages to win more games and such.
19) OL or K/P Appreciation
The New Orleans Second Line are the team with the best offensive line players in the entire league. We have the two offensive liners with the most TPE and by far the best statistics as well and they are a big reason why our team is so successful both passing and running the ball. Givusafare Rubbe and Brave Ulysses have been dominating the league ever since they were called up. Neither of them has given up a sack in the last TWO saesons. Just think about how crazy that statistic is. They have been playing like 26 games in a row without either of them giving up a sack. That is what I call special. And they are consistently getting a ton of pancakes as well. They are insanely dominant and we really are happy to have both of them. They are incredible teammates as well and will continue to haunt the dreams of defenders their entire career, which ought to last a lot more time still. They can really improve and then dominate and when they start to reach TPE that is even higher than O line bots, we are really in for a treat, I think. I look forward to seeing them dominate in the future!

3) In week three of season 20 one of the most stunning upsets in DSFL history took place. After two solid wins, including a 30-point trouncing of Portland, the Minnesota Grey Ducks were at home ready to face a winless Kansas City Coyotes. Experts from every network and publication agreed that this would be another double digit win for the Grey Duck who were already favorites for a repeat championship. As we see now though that was simply not the case. The Coyotes came hungry for blood looking to jump start their season, and they ran all over the Ducks defense and held Vega to 14/36, 0 TDs, and 3 picks. And on a personal note, they stopped me from coming down with a single catch and started a 3 week stretch where I was too shook to help my team win (thankfully the Ducks roster is full of studs and we had wins in the next two weeks including at Kansas City).
When the Ducks take on the Coyotes next season the same story will not play out again. The team sprung out of the tough loss at home and ripped off 4 straight wins and ended the season with a 12-2 record and the Ultimini. Once I got back on my feet I started taking in grabs every week and tied my teammate Jerome Davis for most snags in the playoffs with 8 each. These studs are going to rip through the field again in S21, and I for one have my sights set on Kansas City for some sweet barbequed revenge.
Quote:263 words11) Let me tell you a story about Thubba Bumper. Dude played in only four games at defensive back for the Minnesota Grey Duck in season 20. He defensed two passes, had no interceptions, and about a dozen tackles. By all accounts he was a last spot to fill a roster that felt complete and ready to dominate. Bumper wasn’t a bum, he wouldn’t have made the roster at all if he were, but he wasn’t expected to dominate opposing wide receivers for four quarters a week.
But maybe that was exactly why he did.
In his two playoff appearances Bumper lead his team in passes defensed and interceptions, and he only had one tackle because quarterbacks were terrified of throwing to his side of the field. The offenses had to rely almost exclusively on the ground game because there was a 50/50 shot that any pass to the left side of the field would end up coming the other way. The Ducks win was by all accounts a team effort that relied on all cogs of the machine working in harmony, but those in the know all saw that this mid-season snag played a huge part of a playoff run that the Ducks outscored their opponents by a combined 64-10.

Task 1 – Playoff Review: The Austin Copperheads walked into the Ultimus the same way they walked into their Conference Championship: As underdogs. Despite the fact that Austin won their conference (beating the Salty Second Line twice) and they scored just 1 point less than Yellowknife in the regular season while allowing 34 less points in the tougher conference, the league decided the Copperheads were just really lucky instead of good. The end results, as they have all season, showed the truth. Austin 26, New Orleans 17. Austin 37, Yellowknife 20. The Copperheads are your champions because regardless of how many times you run tests, it doesn’t mean shit on the field. In the Ultimus, Austin proceeded to come out FLYING. Before the 1st quarter ended, Easton Cole had found Jacoby Clay and Rod Tidwell for touchdowns and a 14-0 lead. The Wraiths would finally get on the board in the second quarter with a field goal, but Cole would find Tidwell again on a 23 yard touchdown that gave the Sneks a 21-3 lead at the half. Yellowknife’s halftime adjustments would help them a little bit in the third quarter, as Bigsby would find Nate Swift for a TD and the teams would trade field goals to head into the final quarter 24-13. But the Copperheads would continue their onslaught, as the defense stifled the Wraiths again and again, while the offense would continually move into the red zone. Austin would settle for two more field goals before Net Gaines’ 3 yard TD reception put the final nail in the Wraiths’ coffin. Hanyadi would score a garbage time TD that didn’t mean anything with a minute to go, and Austin would walk away with a dominant 37-20 Ultimus win. (285)
Task 4 – Without a doubt the rival of the Austin Copperheads is quickly becoming the New Orleans Second Line. In our second season, our players weren’t playing at full strength with TPE in Week 1, and we barely lost to them. Once the mistake was found, HO decided to re-play the game due to the unfairness and Austin, at full strength, defeated New Orleans to get its first ever victory! And then Second Line players and management cried and cried and cried (this will soon become a staple for the franchise) and HO overturned it just to get them to shut up. Fast forward to present day, New Orleans is marred in controversy as they deleted evidence and used nefarious ways to “build” their roster up, and they came to realize that they just couldn’t hang with Austin. With each loss, the Second Line players and management continued to cry about how they projected themselves to win every time and how great they are and how lucky Austin is, blah blah blah. Head Office considered moving the team to Salt Lake because of how many tears they spill. The bottom line is this: In 3 games against New Orleans, Austin had a 100% winning percentage, going 3-0 against the Purple Pouters. (Really guys! It’s not fair!) In those 3 games, Austin outscored New Orleans 92 – 58. Besides the fact that the Second Line defense can’t stop Easton Cole and the Copperheads offense, the Second Line offense can’t do a damn thing against the dominant Copperhead defense either. One game being lucky? Sure. Three games of dominance? Well, you better get some new sim testers over there, and hurry. Oh and @JuOSu ? Don’t worry about our name. You can just call us the Champions. (292)
Task 11 – The Playoff MVP conversation isn’t even that hard this time around. It’s cocky and self serving but its OBVIOUS that the MVP is none other than EASTON COLE BAY BAY! Being shit on by many for throwing too many pick sixes, all of which were his receiver’s fault, heading into the playoffs really bothered Cole and he vowed to have a great playoff, which he certainly did. Cole played two games this playoff and won them both. He threw for a total of 564 yards and 5 touchdowns in the playoffs, including his STERLING Ultimus MVP performance of 322 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was electric this offseason, and with 3 more red zone drives that ended in a short field goal, he had a real chance to throw for even more scores. There were no pick sixes at all, although yes, he did throw one interception in each game. However he’s playing in the conference championship and the Ultimus games, those are some good defenses he’s facing. Interceptions are likely there. But what else did Cole do? While he’s no Franklin Armstrong (because Cole can actually throw the ball), Easton ran for 131 yards in the playoffs as well, giving him 695 total yards in the S20 playoffs. He just killed it this playoff. Easton Cole, your playoff MVP. (220)
Task 16 – It’s bothersome that you didn’t just watch the NSFL playoffs and realize why the Austin Copperheads are going to be the NSFL’s next dynasty. In one playoff, Austin decimated the two teams most likely to challenge for that “next dynasty up” title in the league, New Orleans and Yellowknife. Austin has been building their core since Day One, and the team has finally hit our peak. We are the Ultimus Champions, we won our conference in the regular season, our defense is beyond awesome, and our offense is elite. We have young players in their prime all over the place in all of the important positions. Anyone on the team that’s a bit older we plan to get replacements for in free agency or in future drafts. Our cap has been well managed. Every sign we have is trending upwards, and its only going to continue that way. We build houses, not rent them. Our foundation is stronger than any other team out there. We have better sim testers. We have it all. And we’re going to keep winning. Get used to it. Well, all of this assuming Chicago stops giving studs to Orange County anyway. But even then, we’ll be ready for them. (204)

8.) Mo "Mamba" Magic DSFL Scouting Report
Mo “Mamba” Magic is defensive tackle from the University of British Columbia, and a potential DSFL prospect. Despite only being 19, he has proven through multiple levels of play (high school, and low-tier college ball) that he can adapt to many different situations. Playing primarily tackle (defensively and offensively in high school), Mo has made the commitment to focusing on defensive tackle coming into college ball. As a result, he would fair rather poorly in semi-pro play at a OL position.
During the offseason, on the recommendation of coaches and his agent, Magic put on 20lbs to better fit the prototypical NFSL defensive tackle role. He would struggle for the first few games of the season because of the weight addition but would continue to work through it and eventually finish very strongly.
‘Mamba’ is a game changer. Evidence of this can be found in how he took a team that has struggled in the recent years and helped them become the best team in the nation. It’s hard to say it was single-handedly, as the team still managed to win their first two games when Mo was struggling. But when he was playing at his best, he had an obvious impact.
Although his stats speak for itself, it’s worth noting that Mo played in a very low-tier of football. USPORTS football is usually just a step up from high school ball. The jump to semi-pro ball may be a little big and I am unsure if he can make it, or if he will fall through the cracks.
It’s also worth noting that off the field, Magic has shown tremendous loyalty to his family. However, he has also gone out of the way to accommodate for his family, turning down big offers to remain closer to his family.
Mo would be a very good option to explore mid-late draft. By no means is he a home run. The jump to semi-pro play would be very difficult, and while he has done it before, it has never been at such a drastic level. Should he pan out, Mo could be one of the better players in his draft class.

11: Playoffs MVP – Lightsout Lewis
It’s a rarity that anyone from the losing team receives the playoff MVP nod, but in the case of Lightsout Lewis, that is exactly the case. Lewis is one of the best free safety in the league, and he really did show up to win this year. 15 tackles, 2 sack, 4 plays defended, and 3 interceptions in 3 playoff games. That’s insane.
Not only is Lewis statistically the best performer this offseason, he also one of the biggest impact players. Lewis’ presence on the field limits the who the opposition can target, often playing a key role in shutting down primary wideouts. However, he’s also a fantastic rusher, and able to shut down the run. There’s no role that Lewis cannot play, and that is what made him so dangerous.
When targeted, Lewis finds a way to punish the opposing QB. As a result, QB’s only throw his way when they need to. One by one, they find out why that isn’t a good idea. Once is usually enough. The 1 pick per game should be indicative of that. But in case it isn’t, let’s look at when they picks happen.
Against the Liberty, they decide to test Lewis on the first drive of the game, on the first pass of the game, on 3rd and 7 – picked at the 47 yard line. Set the tone for the entire game. Against the Yeti, in the 4th quarter, on 4th and 3 with the Yeti in danger of making a comeback, who else but Lewis that comes up with the game sealing interception. Against the Copperheads, with his team down 7 and the Copperheads threatening another run, who comes up with the ball on 1st and 10th? None other that Lightsout Lewis of course.
Unfortunately, the Wraiths would go on to lose their second Ultimus in two years, but without Lewis, I’m not quite sure they would be there. He’s the obvious MVP choice, if we’re looking at the entire playoffs.

17.) Robbed – Hawks vs. Yeti
*Deep breath* - By Gods were the Hawks ever robbed of this game. It’s not that the Yeti weren’t good, its that the Hawks were better. They had better 3rd down conversion (29% vs 27%), better total yards (431 to 383), the better kicker (ForTheBrand went 6 for fricking 6), and the better receivers (3 over 50 yards vs. just 1 from the Yeti), and the better defense (forcing 10 punts vs 8). In a lot of ways, the Hawks were the better team that day.
The Yeti also had the god given blessing of the sim this day. They pulled off feats of sim wizardry, and somehow got the ever elusive kickoff return,
for 105 and yards no less. 105 and yards. Not only that, but some odd reason, the sim decides to call, a NINE step drop pass for the Hawks, on their own 7 yard line. Of course that results in a safety, because what else could it mean.
That there is 9 points that the sim decided to just hand over to the Yeti. In a game which the Hawks lost by 3 points. I might sound like a salty fan, and there are areas that the Yeti did outplay the Hawks (like getting to the QB, and picking up rushing yards when it mattered), but the Hawks were robbed out of a playoff win.
Could they have beat the Wraiths? Who knows, but I’m sure they would have faired better than the Yeti did, that’s for sure.

3) REVENGE
I want, no I need revenge on Myrtle Beach. They have a lot of good players but we came off of a rebuild and we still put up a fight for part of the season. I think with a better passing defense we can stand a real chance. On top of that they have my new nemesis, Larry Longshot. He’s a juiced up Defensive end who keeps stuffing me on the line. They deserved the win in the Conference Championship game but I think I proved even then that their defense can be broken. They have a good offense but if I remember correctly they will lost some key pieces to the NSFL this season and then the new batch of Norfolk rookies can really do some damage.
Myrtle beach kept the whole conference down this season, but that can’t last forever. A team can only pick on us little guys so much before we get good and show them what’s up. Also Larry Longshot spit on me and honestly I’m still pretty salty about it. I wouldn’t be so salty if they Conference Championship game was not such a blowout, but they can’t stop me and they can’t stop the fleet next season. (204 Words)
4) Rival
My biggest rival by far is Larry Longshot. I knew him from my time in baseball and we were always friendly rivals. We constantly butted heads, both on the field and off but still kept a friendly air. Two forces opposed who attracted to each other. We had different approaches to the game and to life. Now that we’re both on the gridiron, nothing has changed except we’re no longer friends. On top of that he is now a Defensive End and I am a Running back, naturally opposed forces running against each other. Did you know he hates me simply because I went to NC State? I’m sorry I was able to get a full ride academic scholarship AND play football but some of us are just gifted I guess. He decided that me going to NC State was worth ruining our friendship, and after I accepted he stopped talking to me entirely and blocked my number. The GALL! He makes it his goal when our teams are playing, to gun for me, even going as far as to spit in my face one of the few times he was able to catch me. The slow oaf couldn’t catch a ball, he just got lucky but he won’t get me again. He thinks I’m scared? I’m not scared at all, I just don’t want someone to spit on me again. Seriously no flag for that? (236 Words)
9) Brotherly love
Rotticus Scott, Cornerback, Gentleman, Scholar, That’s all I have to say. But I will say more. I didn’t really know him before the DSFL Draft but I’ve gotten to know him as the season has gone on. He’s an athlete and a competitor, someone who I can strive to beat but always there to get drinks after the games. I didn’t think I could be friends with someone from Myrtle Beach, the rivals of my Norfolk Seawolves, but here we are. I enjoy the challenge of trying to beat him on the field, and discussing every encounter we have off the field. I hope that eventually we will get drafted to the same team together. I have always wanted to play with him but so far the opportunity has never come up.
Now I actually have a funny story about him. So the first time we met it actually wasn’t on the field. I met him at Starbucks of all places! We both had ordered the same thing and you know how they sometimes just say what the drink is? Well that happened and we kinda literally bumped into each other! It was a great laugh and we kinda started walking and talking since we were both going the same way. Turns out we both ended up at the Myrtle Beach stadium for our pre-game workouts! We thought that was hilarious and we hit it off, ignoring all the jokes our teammates made and then hung out and played some madden after the game. Hey all GM’s keep an eye on this guy he is going far. (268 Words)

Revenge
A letter to those who don't draft me;
Congratulations, you might have picked up your flashy new tight end, you might think he's all that, but you've overlooked me, and now I'm coming for you. You called me too raw, not strong enough, said I couldn't play the game - now it's my turn to prove you wrong. With a deep class I can see a few teams having a couple of good players fall through the cracks, I assure you no other will have their name heard more.
When we meet in season I will seek my revenge against any team that let me slip by in the upcoming draft. It will be my pleasure to help my team dominate and beating you will only make it all the sweeter. Some day the opportunity may come for you to have another chance to make the right decision and put me on your team - don't make the same mistake and let me slip by again. To the NSFL teams that will have the option of picking me up in the draft the next season let this be a notice. If I'm this serious about revenge coming into the DSFL, how would I feel being passed up by you for the NSFL? Be aware.
Scouting Report
Daniel George is a behemoth standing at 6'6 and weighing in at a listed weight of 265 (though we've heard rumours UW had trouble getting George to keep his weight down) he is by far at the bigger end of this significant TE draft class. Despite receiving off-field media attention during his college seasons George has remained a fan favourite during his tenure in Spokane.
Due to his size George has a hard time creating separation from defenders in the passing game and can't stay on the field for a full game, however his safe hands and big body make up for this leading him to be a difficult matchup for any defense. Questions remain whether George's strength will be enough to carry his load in the DSFL as he has relied on his weight in the past as a difference maker and that will not be enough at this higher level of competition. The Albertan is one of the better blockers in this draft and if he can find a way to refine his athleticism he could be a steal for the team that rewards his efforts up to this point with a selection in the draft.
Expansion GM
As an expansion team I believe the most important factor to a successful team is attracting and scouting the right players. With such a deep DSFL draft class the options at each position are stacked and finding the diamonds in the rough is key to coming out of it with the strongest team possible. While finding the active players will be difficult there are many names making themselves known with scouting reports, graphics and discord activity that have surely found their way onto the lists of GM's of all teams.
Coming into the draft as an expansion team and holding either the 1OA or 2OA pick is hugely beneficial in drafting a player to build the team around. A defensively minded GM may be inclined to pick up a linebacker or star pass rusher to open the draft, but as we know there's no position more important to the team than the QB. Given a second expansion team there will be heavy competition for the best of the prospects and they may not last until the second round. Picking one up early and building around them us essential to the new expansion team success. After this position the draft is so deep that good players should be found across the board later than usual and can be addressed after 1/2OA.
Interview a star
Could you please provide your name for the interview?
Quote:My name is Fabricio Baldari and I'm a Defensive end
What are your plans for your player next season?
Quote:I'm currently entering free agency and I'm exploring my options as a D-lineman
Where do you need to develop your skills more as a player?
Quote:I feel that I need to get better at sequering the sack after coming off the edge as the QB often times sees me coming and dumps the ball off to his checkdown too many times
How did you feel about your personal performance this season?
Quote:I feel like I was the best d-lineman in the league. A lot of people don't believe Tackle for losses should be considered of any value but I significantly disagree and focus on it every year. I belive in position group where most of my opponents have a significant weakness in their play I have a significant advantage over most of them in value.
How did you feel about your teams' success this season?
Quote:I was gutted about our performance this season. Lots of games we should have won or would have won easily. Havran is a gunslinger and sometimes that means that the team suffers when hes not in form. The playoff game was a very fustrating game that I was very fustrated over. Lots of things that should break 50/50 just seems to be coming up heads for them.

2) The greatest game that I remember from the NSFL in its 20 season history? I have been lucky to be a part of a lot of the postseasons and a part of many teams that have made it far in those playoffs. To me, the greatest playoff game/performance came in the very first season. Everything was a crap shoot and what you needed to win was a big play. For the Arizona Outlaws, we got to play the Orange County Otters int he frist round in a game that everybody thought the otters would win. Unfortunately for them, the Outlaws were not about to go down easy. The game was back and forth the whole way. Arizona needed a big play and the way I remember it was that Jaylon Lee got a pick six when the team needed it and ultimately sealed the fate of the two teams. The Outlaws would go on to wint hat season and the next three. I think this is not just a big game and play because of the immediate impact, but also because of the long-term ramifications from seeing the Outlaws become elite. So you tell me if there is a bigger game in NSFL history. Because this one started one of the greatest dynasties and led to one of the biggest scandals.
6) If I'm an expansion GM creating a team, the first thing I do is make sure that I have a solid co-GM with me. It takes more than one guy to effectively run teams and be able to keep up with finances, strategy, and just handling the team's questions in general. The second thing I do is pick up an incredible location and logo for my team. I would get the best graphic guys to get the best logo because people like that kind of stuff. Right after that I would start scouting very hard. I would find guys with good attitudes and my primary objective would be to bring in established guys. Yes, recreates aren't guaranteed. But with that said, they are still very elite and one of the best ways to ensure you can get a close to finished products. I would just want the best players I can get. I would also just do what it takes to get elite players at positions that matter a lot. I wouldn't be as worried about WR or DL because those are kind of dime a dozen. I would go find a good quarterback, LB, CB, and RB and just get ready to get out there and start playing games. It's a tough situation for sure, but its not impossible.
8) A good prospect that is on the come up? Obviously I am biased, but it has to be Mike Lee, wide receiver out of the University of Texas. He is a guy who has previously had solid players and his agent has also been a handful at times. He is, however, a very solid manager. He might not make you the best player, as there's a chance he eventually folds, but he is likely to be a solid and consistent earner. In the juniors, he will probably end up being elite because he always starts strong and is near the top of the game. What does that look like a few seasons down the road? I don't know, but he is a DSFL prospect and that is the league that really matters for the upcoming draft. He already has elite speed and has shown to be active and be a solid player. It feels like it is almost a second coming of young cricket (third if you really believe in it). He's always had a solid reputation for when he says that he is really coming back and right now it feels like he is serious about the comeback. I say he is worth it.
10) If I were in charge of the league the one major change that I would make would be to eliminate all hypocrites from the league. I would remove every single person that takes everything too seriously but says that this league is "just for fun." I would take out every weeb that thinks the Internet is a place where it is ok to be overly abrasive and rude. I would take out every single person that tries to make everything about race but has a white render for their NSFL player. I would eliminate every single feminist and liberal that demands that women need to have equal rights but try to tear down Bex. I would remove every player that says they care about winning but say its ok it is a rebuilding year for our team. Why should we stand for any of this being tolerated? Hypocrisy is what leads to divide. A bunch of liar pretending that they stand for something while just doing it to be politically correct. I would shut up all of these nerds and ban the people who give off fake personas to be well liked. Sick and tired of it and my administrative regime would swiftly end it.

6. Expansion
First and foremost if we have any new expansion for the NSFL or DSFL it absolutely has to be in the emerald city Seattle. Seattle, WA is the most ideal place for a new expansion city. The fans in this city are one of a kind and show up to all sporting events ready. The atmosphere truly is amazing. We could call the team the Seattle Sockeyes in honor of the state salmon. Now that we have the city and team name established next would be getting some great general managers. After hiring a general manager that shares the same ideals for the sockeyes which would be defense wins games. After that we would have to get all the front of the house personal like coaches and position coaches. Then finally the players, and depending on our cap space I would like to get at least 3 stars players and 2 veteran players. Both the veteran players on the defense (Defensive back and a Dlineman) and 1 offensive ideally a quarterback. That right there would be the foundation of the team. I hope the veterans would then be able to lead the team as captains and help the rookies expand on their skill set. We build around our star quarterback and hope we can draft some elite wide receivers and some great line backers. (224)
7. Next Year
Even though I was not part of the NSFL this year or the next. I plan on making the largest splash any defensive player has made and plan to make it to the ultimas bowl. There is no other greater glory then to hoist that trophy over your head and be known as the best of the best. The s22 rookie draft is looking vast with many elite talents ripe for the picking. With my skills I want to walk out of the ultimas bowl with no less than 4 sacks. I need to lead and help my team with being as disruptive as I can. No matter the team that I get drafted too I am looking forward to competing and winning with the team. I understand that it is also a team game and not a solo sport. If our offense isn’t performing to its upmost potential then we the defense would step up and vice versa if the defense wasn’t feeling to hot I’m hoping our offense can bail us out. Of course at the end of the day I hope my teammates are playing at a 200% intensity on every single snap. When s22 rolls around I believe it will be one of the most exciting NSFL year to date. (214)
8. Scouting Report
Everyone should have already heard of the best defensive end in the pac12, James Cho. He won several awards and honors for his 2019 season, including the Chuck Bednarik Award, Ted Hendricks Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chicago Tribune Silver Football, Nagurski–Woodson Defensive Player of the Year, and Smith–Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year. He was unanimously named to the 2034 College Football All-America Team and first-team pac 12. His first year he recorded 6 sacks. High-motor defensive end prospect possessing NSFL play strength on a well-muscled, compact frame. Cho uses forward lean, smart hands and impressive upper-body power to pry open edges against the run and pass. He can defeat single blocks and fits as an end in both 4-3 and 3-4 fronts with the ability to reduce inside as a rusher. His lack of fluidity in space could prevent him from becoming an elite rusher, but he understands how to play. Need a sack in a big moment, you know Cho will do his best to deliver. Quarterbacks can always feel his presence on the field and know that he is a constant looming threat. Not only does he excel at pass rushing but his run stopping is on the next level. (205)
20. Ultimas ad
A big brother and big sister ad. Any NSFL player who would be willing could participate and hopefully other star athletes who would be willing to volunteer. The camera first shoots out to just a average American throwing the football around with a child. Then another playing basketball, soccer, volleyball, and baseball. I would be narrating. “We often think that it takes a group of people to make a difference. Rarely do we ever realize that all it really takes is one person, or one situation. One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” Then show famous athletes playing with children doing various sports. Show the camera catering toward the children who are smiling while playing with the athletes. Then pan the camera to me. “You don’t have to be an athlete to change a child’s life” then again showcase athletes doing random things. (example watching a movie, grabbing coffee/food, helping with schoolwork, playing video games.) Again focus the camera more on the children then the athletes. Then bring the screen back to my NSFL team along with some brother and sisters volunteers, and show them with a brother and sisters banner that the team and volunteers are holding. (201)
