*Tomatonose Media - speculadora - 01-22-2018 Coyotes Looking to Finish Season Strong KANSAS CITY -- This season has been anything but what the Coyotes hoped. Fresh faces in the team's front office were planning a move to Chicago and were anticipating a strong season to generate excitement in their new market. The team drafted the highly touted quarterback Borkus Maximus first overall in the DSFL draft and seemed to have taken the first step toward a competitive season. Things seemed to fall apart from there. The team's lack of investment in the offensive line has made Maximus' job nearly impossible. Despite uncovering a handful diamonds in the rough in Cordell Joshua, Poopyface Tomatonose, Robby Rainey, and Jack Dwyer, the team lacks the necessary depth to compete at a high level. It seems as though tensions boiled over in recent weeks as players openly criticized the organization and the face behind the Chicago relocation, Co-General Manager Alexandra Jones, resigned from her position. The Coyotes now sit with a 3-7 record and will need a miracle finish over the next four weeks to make the playoffs. There is reason for optimism, however. Newly introduced Co-GM Azhek Ahriman and Nathan Lee have decided to keep the team in Kansas City going forward, a move that has generated a lot of excitement in the Kansas City area. With a renewed energy from the fan base and a dedicated front office, the Coyotes are beginning to believe the miracle finish is within reach. The team finishes with a schedule against Norfolk, Portland, Norfolk, and Palm Beach. They have played Norfolk closely twice and came away with a win in one of the two games. Palm Beach seemed to be on a tear but just lost their star player, Steve Fuller, to a suspension resulting from a positive performance enhancing drug test. Without Fuller, a win against the Solar Bears might just be within reach. That leaves the Portland Pythons, currently the first place team in the DSFL's East division. The Coyotes beat the team early in the season when excitement was high but have struggled to keep things close in more recent games. Perhaps with a rejuvenated optimism the Coyotes can once again compete. In reality the Coyotes need only to win one of the two games against Portland and Palm Beach if they can sweep Norfolk. The Seawolves' other two games come against Tijuana and Portland - both quality teams. Even if the Coyotes look like the same team we've seen all season over the final four weeks, they're staying in Kansas City. So if not this season, there's always next year. GRADED *Tomatonose Media - speculadora - 01-22-2018 This is 425 words by my count. By the new media scale that should net me 620,500. I only want 569,000 of that payout. Just give the remaining 51,500 to charity (note how generous I am) *Tomatonose Media - ExemplaryChad - 01-22-2018 This is actually one of the better-written pieces I've seen on here in a while. It reads like real journalism. I'd be interested to read more of your articles if you decide to write them. And I would encourage you to branch out in your subject matter as well to get more eyes on what you write. Good job. I look forward to seeing more. :fan: *Tomatonose Media - Supersquare04 - 01-22-2018 Great article! *Tomatonose Media - Drizzy - 01-22-2018 Legend
