*Austin Retires Jersey - White Cornerback - 02-27-2020

A man standing at 6'3 tall, 238lbs wide (although since retirement he's hovered more towards the 300lb mark) never played a single game for the Austin Copperheads. During his 9 year NSFL career, Law had 5 seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, never caught less than 60 receptions a season and was a mainstay in both the Outlaws and Second Line offence during his time there.
2030 brought a feeling of change to the NSFL, following the announcement of expansion which welcomed two franchises which from the get-go , took two distinctly different routes and as a result ended up in two entirely different trajectories. Austin recently coming off of their first ever NSFL Ultimus win while the Chicago Butchers are gearing up for a long term rebuild project should their draft and free agent prospects pan out.

Nine seasons after winning his third (3) ultimus and subsequent retirement, Law managed to lift the Ultimus yet again, this time around as the General Manager of the Austin Copperheads. Turning an expansion team filled with more holes than players into the best team in the NSFL in a mere 5 seasons, the quickest turn around in NSFL history behind when the New Orleans Second Line managed to go from possible contraction (Las Vegas Legion) to Ultimus winners in 4 seasons.
Law would from beginning to end receive large amounts of criticism surrounding every decision, major or minor. From the initial expansion draft where Django Anoa'i was selected (despite being described by many as a player past his prime) and Grayson Kuusela was chosen to become a staple of the Austin side (despite his off field issues) to Law's decision to take a tight end with the first pick in Austin Copperheads history (one that would later go on to win DPOY, DBOTY and multiple pro bowl invitations - Chase Jensen) and the many draft picks that followed.
Let's not ignore his eagerness to trade players for a literal dollar either. Regardless of what the talking heads have said in the last 5/6 season period, Law's unorthodox but consistent methods and approach have been integral in building Austin into the powerhouse that it is today and without his dedication to devising, creating, scouting, pitching and overall management of the Austin Copperheads, Austin would be in a much different (and worse) place than it is today, the reigning champions. I've had the pleasure (and sometimes annoyance) of sharing a war room and the snake pit with AdamS and despite our many clashes over various aspects in the league and indeed the team, I don't believe there will be any body more fitting of having the honor of the first jersey retired in the Austin Copperheads ring of honor.

This is so bloody beautiful, brilliant and true!
AdamS is an amazing GM, person and is the main reason why I am so involved and enjoying this league. He has been and still is the beating heart of the Austin Copperheads and is leaving some scarily big shoes to fill. Love you mate

I really don't have words for this, gang.
Thank you.
