Presser closed and ready for grading

*Maurice throws a towel over his shoulder

"My Sauna is almost warm enough and you know that a Finn needs his daily dose of Sauna, so hit me with those questions while you still can"

*The floor is open for questions (while you wait you can find out more about our half Finnish linebacker from his wiki

1. Which DSFL team are you most interested in joining?

Well I had a quick look around and currently its the Palm Beach Solar Bears, just look at that sweet, sweet logo. Although with the new expansion teams rolling out, starting somewhere new could be really cool

2. When you get drafted, which of your fellow prospects do you hope come along with you?

Hmm this is a tough one as there are a lot of great prospects currently and looking like a really strong class. Current Tropics teammate Bjørn Ironside would probably the best company in the locker room in the future, or Trae Bacon looks like a future star. Really would be nice to have a great guy on the defense with me but honestly wouldnt be sad to see any of the S18 class join me

3. Squirrels or opossums?

Yeah got to go Squirrels here all the way. Found all over the place, much cuter and they got their nut game on point!

What are your thoughts on the league so far? Why the NSFL over the NFL?

So far it has been a really great ride and a great atmosphere. After playing the first few Prospect Bowl games the guys who are trying to get in with me also seem really great. About this NFL, these 3 letter acronyms are so last season. Like does anyone want to be a FBI, CIA, BBC? Really? NSFL all the way

What are your goals for yourself and your team in the upcoming season?

I really want to focus on being the best player and by this I mean setting a clear focus on what type of player I want to be in the future and making that a reality. For my team, there is only one goal and that is the Ultimini! But of course at the same time, having fun should be allowed

If you couldn't be playing football, what sport would you most likely be in?

I know you are expecting it to be ice hockey or cross country skiing as it would be normal for Finns, but not it would be golf! Man would it be awesome to be able to play a sport at a high level, earn a lot of money and be fat at the same time, have you seen John Daly?

1. Is the level of talent between here and Finland noticeable? Any differences in play styles?

Sadly in this aspect yeah, yes there is. If you think of me as a high schooler, I was able to join the ranks of the professional league and do pretty well there so I think that tells you everything. I've even seen washed up college football players really dominate there.

Main differences is really in the QB play. We in Finland just love running it up the gut so much and some teams even forget they even have a QB they can use

2. What's the color of money?

Now this is the most important question so far! Hmm I would have to say that its black, black like the color of my heart
