What has happened in Nola? I’ve seen some say sim luck, maybe just not focused? I’d say mismanagement. So let’s take a look at what has transpired as of late. Nola was on a roll and looking pretty good first few weeks of the season, then it fell apart. I’ll do this from three guys perspective . First we have Ennis, a great player and dude. He got hit with a tampering charge which was iffy at best but was told they wasn’t trading him. A week or two later he gets hit with another tampering charge. After being told he wasn’t going to be traded he was actually traded to Austin. Now here’s where the pattern will start, more on that in a second. I believe it was in the best for him to get out of Nola as he’s helping Austin make a playoff push now and well we have Nola.
Now we have Thudd Kassel, a beast of a man that is gonna dominate this league for awhile. Now I don’t know the whole situation here but you hate to see a first round pick shipped off so quick. Especially while he’s producing decent numbers. He’s had at least one game with 3 sacks. But alas Nola shipped him out for a couple picks and a wide receiver. Now you ask why a wide receiver when you have Jackson, Fed and Jones. They also had drafted a wide receiver in the second round of the draft. Well we found out why soon after.
Last we have myself, Jackson. All last season I was told by the FO that I was gonna be a big part of their plans moving on from Fed because he’s hitting regression hard. I said ok I’ll be tight end 1/wide receiver 3. I played out the season producing some and was excited about this season. It begins and first two weeks I got 4 targets, being out done by the rookie receiver and a tight end I didn’t know we had lol. I spoke with Tom and Juoso about it and things started looking better for me. I was happy and thought nothing more of it. I went to Juoso when me and Thudd had a misunderstanding but me and Thudd hashed things out and put it past us. The whole time I was told I was gonna be here for the future. I got shipped to Chicago after all that. I’m happy here in Chicago, being able to show what I can do when given a chance. I love the guys back in Nola and feel sorry for them because no matter what your told, a big part of the future or whatever your always going to wonder when you are going to see that you was traded. They seem confused on being in rebuild mode or win now.
Personally I believe they are in rebuilding mode, yet again, but are actually in denial. There was big things about to happen in Nola. Now after giving up on the last two drafts for no reason it seems like the FO is being ran by the Browns front office where as before it looked like the early 90s Cowboys fo that got Smith, Aikman, Irving and a slew of others that won them championships.
As for me Chicago has been great. Best pizza in America, Great Lakes, great locker room and coaches. Yeah we are down in the standings but coming in midway idk what their expectations was. Of course I wanna win like every competitor does but I’m having fun now and next season I’ll set my expectations for the team and move forward. While some will say I’m being salty about the situation. Being lied to about things will do that and I was. Now I’m not anymore but this is my honest opinion. While the last two drafts was great for them and had excitement going forward the handling of everything after the draft has been horribly handled. Hopefully they fix it or things should change to correct the ship. Gump, Sloth, Andrews, Jones are all great players along with Fed but he’s getting older each week. He’s beat the end but is a legend I believe. Those guys deserve a championship but with the current path the window is closing rapidly. It has a very small crack now. A QB switch would help. If your wearing a purple jersey Stan can not find you on the field. Maybe back to TE? Idk but better figure it out quickly.
That’s all I got to say on the matter of Nola and if I’m happy where I’m at. Catch y’all later.

Part of me wants to take the high road and just ignore you, but also it’s annoying when a grown ass man plays the victim at every turn. We both know a lot more went down behind the scenes, and we can get it out in the open if you don’t want to move on. I legit meant before that I hope you’re happier in Chicago, hopefully you are and you’ll focus on that because no matter what you write here we both know you weren’t the happy Boy Scout in New Orleans. I hoped we could all move on and just have some fun but this “analysis” is a fantasy and I couldn’t help myself.

Edit: forgot to mention that I’m proud of how NOLA navigated the drama this season. Even with the disappointing sim results post-trades I still feel confident in our future.

In the open? Once I talked with Tom and Juoso about playing time and it got fixed. The other was about Thudd and we hashed it out and moved on. As far as I know that’s the only two times I said anything negative. The rest is true to. I’m not playing victim, I just put what I think as TO would surely do, which is my character. This isn’t real life and I was upset a few days after and I’m good. I did this after I read your piece and thought TO would respond I’m sure so why not. Don’t let this get a grown ass mans underwear in a bunch. None was personal towards you. Only one person I’m not fond of on the team. Anyway check your discord if you get a chance.

ok ok, I've seen ton of disgruntled traded players articles (and made some myself) but who gave you an idea to abbreviate Vladimir Fyodorovich to Fed of all things


*Nola looking old - KillaScrilla - 11-05-2019

I honestly just couldn’t remember your full spelling lol. Hopefully no offense taken. I’m on a phone and didn’t wanna accidentally lose what I wrote. It happened once as I was gonna do it as a interview with Jackson instead of this but it got wiped so I just put this down.

Look I genuinely am sorry about the communication issues surrounding your trade but let’s get a few things straight.

1. There are many reasons we chose to move on from Ennis that I’m just not going to get in to, and AlexF has been a great addition to the LR and the team.
2. Trading Thudd broke my fuckin heart but we always want players on the team they’re happiest.
3. We have lost 2 games we were easy favourites in and a coin toss game, plus every game we were underdogs in

Sim do what sim want, but I’m not gonna sit back and have my team attacked for moves that benefited us. We’ve tested better in every game since making these trades even if that hasn’t translated to wins, and we were trying to put people in spots where they’d be better positioned to achieve their goals. I get it, we aren’t the best team in the league, we shouldn’t be #1 in the ASFC, but attacking us because horrendous sim luck decided to coincide with us making some trades is a bad look.

Can’t we all just get along? Or have we forgotten the words of the Reverend King?
