(S12) - Ultimus Week

[karl]

1) IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR
Alright so I'm not currently in the NSFL, but I am an up and coming prospect for the Arizona Outlaws so I'll select them as my team. A quick look at the standings shows they finished the regular season with an overall record of 7-7, good enough for 3rd place in the ASFC and outside of the playoff picture. The two teams that finished in front of them, the Orange County Otters and San Jose SaberCats had far superior records with 11-3 and 10-4 respectively, better than any team in the opposing NSFC conference. While it's hard to argue the Outlaws can hang with the Otters and SaberCats, they did manage to finish the second half of the season with an intriguing 5-2 record after a dismal 2-5 first half of the season. If they can recreate some of that magic they found in the 2nd half of the season in the next year it wouldn't be crazy to see the Outlaws in the top 2 in the ASFC and competing for the ultimus trophy. While their team may not be as stacked as the Otters or as deep as the SaberCats, the Outlaws do have a knowledgable front office that knows what it takes to win and is able to make the most of the roster available.

2) SPOTLIGHT ON THE YOUTH
I'm going to go over to the DSFL and highlight my own player Raymond Vans since this is the first time I've been a part of a championship and he played a pretty big part in it. Selected 19th overall in the S11 Entry Draft Raymond returned to the Coyotes to work on his game and performed admirably. His strong regular season play carried over to the post season as well as he led his team in tackles in both the conference and ultimini finals matchups. In the conference finals against the rival Pythons, Vans managed to collect 10 tackles and 1 sack. In the finals against the SFC champions, the San Antonio Marshals, Vans found a new level finishing the game with a team leading 11 tackles to go along with yet another sack and 1 tackle for lost yards. This game was particularly notable because it was against another up and coming linebacker, Jon Gott. The two of them finished the regular season #1 and #2 in league wide tackles. In just his second season Vans provided tremendous value for the championship winning Kansas City Coyotes and will look to carry over that dominant play in to the NSFL next season for the Arizona Outlaws.

3) PRE-GAME or...POST-GAME
I'm going to go with the Ultimini Finals game between the Kansas City Coyotes and the visiting San Antonio Marshals. With a record of 5-9 in the regular season it was a surprise to see San Antonio in the finals, but they managed to play upset to the heavily favored Luchadores in the SFC conference finals, earning their ticket to the big game. The Kansas City Coyotes on the other hand came in to the finals as the favorite with a strong regular season showing and a record of 10-4. Through 1 quarter there was on a single score: a touchdown by the Coyotes to them out front 7-0. Early in the second quarter the Coyotes managed to double their lead with a second touchdown, but the opposing Marshals would eventually score a touchdown of their own before the end of the first half to keep this game within one score. Given their regular season dominance it was believed the Coyotes would have more of a lead after the first half, but the Marshals were proving once again that the regular season and the post season are two very different things, just as they had done against the Luchadores. Roughly halfway through the 3rd quarter the Coyotes would regain their two score lead off a pick six by Jake Verden. It was the only score made that quarter. Early in the 4th Coyotes would effectively put this game out of reach scoring their 4th touchdown of the game off a quick 8 yard pass to JN Nova. Already up 27-7 the Coyotes would pour on more offense late in the 4th quarter with yet another touchdown and a single field goal. With a final score of 37-7 the favored Kansas City Coyotes managed to win their first Ultimini Trophy in franchise history.

4) QUARTERBACK MATCHUP
For my QB matchup I'm going to look at the performances of Caleb McCoy from the Portland Pythons and Luke Boeschler from the Kansas City Coyotes in the NFC conference finals matchup. With 21 of 28 completed passes averaging 8.6 yards, 180 total, and a single touchdown Caleb managed to finished the game with a strong passer rating of 103.3. Meanwhile Luke completed only 14 of 31 attempts for 145 yards and an average of 10.4 per completion. He scored 1 touchdown, but also managed to give up a single interception, finishing the game with an inferior passer rating of 56.5. Based on the raw numbers you'd assume Caleb and the Portland Pythons won this game, but unfortunately for them it was Luke and the Coyotes that were victorious. Perhaps the beneficiary of a stronger defense, and a bit of good luck, Luke managed to squeeze out the win in this one despite what could easily be considered a poor performance, especially when compared to the quarterback at the other end of the field. His preferred target was wide receiver Krispy Kreme who caught 6 of his 14 completed passes and scored the only touchdown. McCoy on the other hand used a variety of weapons at his disposal passing to Lucius Kaine a total of 7 times and Blaze 6 times.

Spotlight on the Youth
Being a defensive player myself, I often look to that side of the ball when I'm picking stand out performers. To me, there was a young guy who really jumped off the page- Charlie Trout. Despite being a rookie, Trout put up numbers that have him in the conversation for best defender of the year, let alone the DROY this season. Charlie put up an impressive 86 tackles and 11 sacks, defended 25 passes, and tossed in several splash plays on the season- recovering 3 fumbles and tacking a safety onto his stat total before the year let out. The guy was all over the field, making his presence felt, and making me wish I got to line up at the LB position more often.

If the Hawks want to return to their championship ways of Season 10- hoping to rise above their 2 season run of being a bride's maid, they're going to need Trout to post repeat performances of his rookie season for several seasons to come. That type of championship level play isn't something Charlie isn't used to- his Portland Pythons captured an Ultimini during their S11 campaign. So now having a taste of a championship defeat under his belt, he'll surely come back more hungry than he already was this season. The NSFL is on notice- this guy is going to be big time.

It's Our Time Next Year
The New Orleans Second Line had a down season in S12, there is no doubt about that. Having not been in the league for very long, I'm not sure if a defending champion team has ever had such a dismal display. With that said- can a franchise that's so esteemed stay down for long? I like to think not. New Orleans' passing attack certainly isn't the factor that kept them down this last season, topping the league with 4732 yards- a 300 yard cushion on second place. That clearly tells us that Maximus III can sling it, and Fyodorovich is still a force- but, it's not just them, with rookie WR Halvorsen th notching 952 yards receiving this season. Needless to say, the passing game isn't going away. Of course, I'm sure many will point to the run game's suffering as a clear indicator that next season is NOT our time. Aksel Danielsson's addition to the squad stands to be something to get the run game back on track, with a ceiling above Gore's, he should represent an upgrade. You toss in the aforementioned pluses with a defense that should look to rebound this season to get closer to their S11 numbers of points against, and we're going to have games going our way again. To boot, with a fair amount of cash to spend in FA, and the 2nd overall draft pick, a further infusion of talent can come quickly. If it all comes together, and we get a little bit of luck along the way, we'll be right there competing for championships again.

1) IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR - Can be completed anytime

The Yellowknife Wraiths will be the S17 Ultimus champions. This team is young and it will take time for them to be at a championship level but the rookies have shown they are capable of being a great player in this league. They have a young QB who's at an elite level. The running back, Dick Wizardry, had the third most rushing yards this season and it's his first year so he will just get better and could end up being the best player at his position. Josh Parker, their #2 wide receiver, have shown progress in the last two seasons. She still has a lot to learn but I believe that Josh can become a #1 receiver in the league. There's also Tommy Helanen, the new receiver for the team. He had a pretty good rookie season with the Otters but he didn't get the chance to stay much on the field since the Otters had a lot of weapons but he's going to have a big role in Yellowknife. Lastly, the Yellowknife Wraiths have ton of draft picks, especially in the first round, with all the trade they did this season and they are going to improve the defense for sure.

2) SPOTLIGHT ON THE YOUTH - Can be completed anytime

For this season Ultimus game, everyone eyes were on second year quarterback, Joliet L. Christ. The San Jose Sabercats have always been the worst team in the NSFL. They have only made to the playoffs once. They were considered to be the worst franchise in the league but thing have changed since they have drafted Joliet L. Christ., quarterback from South Dakota. In his second season, he was able to put the Sabercats on the map. The team finished the season with a franchise high record, 10 wins and 4 losses. He have proved it that he could be the best quarterback in the league but this going his first playoff experience and the second for the franchise. So it will a very though test for the young quarterback but I bet he's going to be the MVP during the postseason. I think he was the 2nd best QB this season. He doesn't the best offensive squad with him but himself can bring this team to a higher level. He's very confident and he's going back off. I don't think the nerves will get to him. He has proved that he's now a veteran for him, experience doesn't mean much. Trust me, this guy will definitely be the champion.


3) PRE-GAME or...POST-GAME - Can be completed before or after based on choice.

What a roller coaster that was, the Orange County Otters came back late in the second half and completely took control of the game against the San Jose Sabercats. I don't think this was predicted by anyone. The game should have been close but the sabercats showed their inexperience in clutch time. They looked very good in the first half, they had lead and everyone was playing well but then you saw Joliet L. Christ played poorly in the second half and I would say it was mainly his fault that his team lost. His percentage of passes completed was under 50%. That was probably one of the worst performance in the playoffs by a QB. He also threw a pick-six which gave the momentum to the Otters. I feel like at this moment, the game was over and in the fourth quarter the defense was trying much. They were the best defensive team in the league, allowed the fewest points but Showbiz was clutch in the fourth quarter. He threw a 37 yd pass td to Tegan Atwell. He was unstoppable in the first play of the quarter then they got back the ball they were able get another touchdown with a 16 yards td to Carlito Crush which sealed the game.

That Magic Moment: Pick one moment from a playoff game and describe what made it so amazing to watch. (Must be completed after the game you write about)

The playoffs between the Portland Pythons and the Kansas City Coyotes was stressful to watch. This two teams were the best this season and I believe that winner of this match would win the championship. This game was very entertaining to watch. They both played at their highest level. The coyotes started off very strong, they were able to pressure rookie quarterback Caleb McCoy and tackled him for a safety. The Coyotes had the lead in the first half with 14-3. In the second half, McCoy tried to bring his team back into the game and got a touchdown but right after that, running back Aksel Danielsson rushed for a 66 yards touchdown. The Pythons were in disbelief and it looked like it was over but in the fourth quarter, the team were able to get back in the game. They scored a field goal with 4 minutes left in the game. The Coyotes had the possesion but they were stopped by the Pythons defense and with 3 minutes left on the clock, this was definitely the final possession for the Caleb McCoy and his offense. At KC 30 yard zone, McCoy threw the ball to Bona'beri Jones, was completed for 16 yards. Then at the KC red zone, with 50 seconds left, McCoy threw the ball to Kaine to the endzone but he fumbled and it was recovered by the Coyotes defense! I don't know how this happened but it just fun to watch.

1) IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR - Can be completed anytime

Written: Write 200 words on your team and either why they should be looked at as Ultimus champions this season, or if your team has been eliminated, next year, or the year after for those non-believers.

The Yellowknife Wraiths likely won't win a Ultimus until S20 judging by the talents currently on the team, but this is the land of make-believe and all that so let's give it a shot. The Yellowknife Wraiths might win the Ultimus because they've got a pretty insanely good quarterback known as Ryan Applehort. They have a pretty incredible running back duo between Carrasco and Wizardry (otherwise known as Weapon XXX). They have a solid WR core between Parker and the new guy Helanen acquired in a trade. They then have a stud TE in Adrian Pitcher, after trading away longtime Wraith Glenn McPoyal in a trade to the Orange County Otters.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Wraiths might win in S13 with a very strong defensive line consisting of Woodham, Skinner, and Foster. As for linebackers, the Wraiths have really fuck all if we're being honest and I'm really unsure if we've even got any linebackers on the current roster, so realistically we're gonna need some bodies in the LB core if we want to win a single game, nevermind a championship. In the secondary, they've got Lavelle who's in his last season alongside the aging Cameron Taylor, Jake Verden and Bobson Dugnutt.

In the special teams section we have of course, longtime Yellowknife kicker "Forfeit" combined with Castleberry banging punts in from kilometres away.[i]

2) SPOTLIGHT ON THE YOUTH - Can be completed anytime

Written: Write 200 words on one of the players in this year's Ultimus Week that are Season 10 or newer and spotlight on how they can affect this year's Ultimus. (Or have affected)

[i]Charlie Trout of the Baltimore Hawks is an absolute unit. Now most of these fuckin chumps are amateurs, either out here using word inflator or whatever the fuck you call it. Most of these fucking dinks will likely have their fucking index open in a new tab alongside the one they're writing in, or theyve got it in a fucking window semi split down their screen so they can see both at once, real tryhard 7 shit. The majority of these guys are finished, pretty much MOOSE MEAT as soon as Ed from Chowderheads and his boys get their hands on them. Me? I don't even have the fucking index open, I'm speaking off the cuff and straight from the bosom of the beast, fuck your index I'm gonna explain why Charlie Trout will have an effect on this years Ultimus.

This Charlie Trout guy aint your average millennial, he's not into kissing dudes and braiding eachothers hair. He's out there to play some fuckin football, crack some skulls and wink at some hotties on the sideline (both genders because he is an equal employer). Trout is quick, he's strong but most of all he loves football and wont quit. This guy takes a licking and keeps on ticking, he's made of something different. Unlike the rest of the pansys out there afraid to ruin their nice uniforms or fancy looking hair, Trouts out there with flames in his stomach and stars in his eyes, the way footballs meant to be. He's going to affect the game with his ability to exist.

5) ENEMIES HAPPEN - Can be completed anytime.

Written: Not everyone loves each other, write 200 words on an opposing player or player in this year's Ultimus playoffs about how they will struggle, why do you want them to lose? (Don't be too mean).

Let's be honest it's like fucking 6am here in Ireland right now and I'm finishing Ultimus Week. The Playoffs are long over and we all know the Otters won. Now I'll be honest in saying and hopefully everybody reading this agrees with me, Fuck sunnycursed. Why? He's a little bitch. Remember earlier when I told you all about Charlie Trout and how he's a real man's man? A real John Wayne type without the cancer or casual racism but you get what I'm saying. Yeah this guy Sunnycursed, he's exactly the sort of soft as babyshit guy that Trout aint.

This sunnycursed guy spits in the face of traditional football, he doesn't care for rules but he doesn't make his own. This dude rocks a fucking man bun with a goofy ass goatee that we all know he maintains and likely trims every day, this fucking dude. When he's out there all he cares about are two things... actually three. The first is how good of a condition his manbun is in, he's actually looking to the cameras in the sidelines to see the reflection of his hair. His 2nd priority out there is what sort of cute celebration he can do in the endzone after he catches a touchdown. His final priority out there on the field is just how much tail he can get after the game, this one I'll give him a pass on, but the other two makes me hate this guy.

Unsung Hero:
So, I never miss an opportunity to talk about my own players, so I believe that Tegan Atwell’s playoff performance was integral to the Orange County Otters’ playoff run to their fourth Ultimus victory in franchise history. While she had only one TD reception, she had the longest TD reception in the whole S12 playoffs with it being a 37 yard pass reception. She also had a total of 208 yards throughout the playoffs, only behind Carlito Crush on the team. In fact, with 208 yards, she had the second most receiving yards in the whole S12 playoffs. She also had the second highest efficiency with 18.9 yards per catch, continuing a trend that she’s shown for her entire career. Tegan Atwell has been an unsung hero for most of her career, having been snubbed from multiple awards in her career due to playing next to other amazing WRs and playing in a time that has seen many amazing WRs, including Howard Miller, Trey Willie, and teammate Carlito Crush. It’s really nice to see her performing this well in what may be her last playoffs (probably not, but you never know) and I think that the rest of the league should be taking notice to her performances.

Sit-down with a star:

Interviewed Speculadora


Sit-down with a fan (@speculadora interviewing me):

1) You announced your intention to retire at the end of next season after the Otters' Ultimus win, the third you've been a part of with the team. Was there something about getting the third trophy that made you feel OK with walking away or did that decision stem from something else?

"I feel like I was already considering that decision for a while. Football is a tough sport and even if it's not about head trauma, the rest of your body takes a beating too. I feel like walking away with one trophy that I feel responsible for is a great feeling, but this decision was coming no matter what."

2) On that topic, how do you think NSFL players and fans will remember Tegan Atwell?

"I hope that I'll be remembered. That's all. I've played alongside and against some great players, especially wide receivers, and it's easy for anyone to get lost in that list of names. I just hope that what I've done for my teammates and my team is what's remembered."

3) You've decided to walk away from the game next off-season rather than this one. Is that an indication that you feel you can close your career with another Ultimus?

"I mean, you always hope to do so. I know that this team isn't going to be leaving the top any time soon, so why not go for a fourth?"

4) However next season goes, it's safe to say Tegan Atwell had an outstanding career by pretty much any standard. But do you feel like being a woman and performing at the level you have is going to open more doors for women in the NSFL?

"I think that we've seen it. When I joined the league there was only one woman and she was in the DSFL. Now there's a woman starting at QB for Philly. Yeah, there's not that many and it may not have anything to do with me, but I'm just happy that it's happened and that there's a gateway to the NSFL for women; that anyone has the ability to join the league if they work for it."

http://nsfl.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=...ndpost&p=169885 Trautner interviews me

QUARTERBACK MATCHUP:



Interview with @Trautner (playoffs)

1. congrats on your ultimus. what play would you say turned the tide of the game?

2. you won the ultimus, how was the party afterwards?

3. going into this offseason, what part of your game do you want to work on that isn't very strong yet?

4. what will it take for oco to repeat?

1. Thank you! It's been a long season full of ups and downs, especially with San Jose pushing us to have to play at our best for pretty much the entire season, including in a some key head to head matchups. The Ultimus game was pretty shaky early on, and Baltimore even took a 14-7 lead off of a long Vinny Valentine punt return. A 44 yard play to Carlito Crush really set us up from our own 8 yard line on the ensuing possession though, putting us at the Baltimore 48. Crush eventually caught a 27 yard touchdown on the very same drive, so this really brought us back in a moment of danger as Baltimore had been building a ton of momentum.

2. The party was awesome. Carlito Crush was obviously the life of the party after such a brilliant game. Angus Winchester was also really ready to let loose in his final game, which ended in a championship ring. Winchester is definitely one of the biggest heavyweights around, He was pounding down some really expensive drinks too, ordering gold bottles for the entire team. Between Crush and Winchester, you can imagine that the bar tab really ramped up really quickly. Rookies like Tommy Helanen were tasked with the tab, same with Sunnycursed. The two certainly left the bar with lighter pockets than when they had entered. Danny Grithead really demonstrated some underrated athletic ability when dancing around the bar. He is a sneaky athletic guy
3. Going into the offseason, I want to work hard on my agility and stamina. These are pretty much the only two attributes that I'm not capped out in, and I want to round out my player completely. Grithead is ready to really start feasting and racking up statistics after being a team player for so long. He's gotten a taste of success and is hungry for more. I think Grithead can be a real talent that can drive the Otters into the playoffs for seasons to come. Excited to welcome new defensive talent like Thorian to the team, in replace of retiring legends like Gregor Clegane and of course, Winchester.

4. The Otters have to remain strong and maintain their young core. Showbiz and Adams are not going anywhere. The receiver corps is aging slightly in Crush and Atwell, but they remain at the top of their game while Sunnycursed continues to develop into an elite weapon for Showbiz. Moreover, there is a rising prospect in the DSFL that has recently made some breakthroughs, who has his rights drafted by the Otters. On the defensive side, Broxton will stay at the top and Grithead is what he is. Cornerbacks like Rice and Spector are quickly coming into their prime after good starts already. I'm excited to see what the Otters can do, with the right training and maintained focus.

Task #1 - It is Our Time This (Next) Year

The Outlaws clearly weren’t in the running this year, but don’t count them out for next year. The Otters and Sabercats are both formidable teams, but Arizona is flying just under the radar. Since getting DT Andrew Reese back from suspension, the Outlaws went 6-4 in their final 10 games of the season. Of course, I can toot my own horn, but one man alone doesn’t win a game. However, that says a lot about the combined effort of this defense. They were the 4th best team in points allowed even with QB Kevin Fitzpatrick having an unlucky season with 17 Interceptions. On top of that, this is a fairly young team, especially on the defensive side of the ball. This defense is getting better every year and they’re young enough to keep playing at a high rate for a long time to come. If this team can stick together and make a few good moves in the draft and free agency, the Outlaws may be primed for a championship run in S13, S14, and possibly well beyond that. The opposing field is impressive, but the window is still wide open for these guys. (202 Words)

Task #2 - Going to Disneyland

So, who was this year’s ultimus MVP? Well, when it comes to the MVP award, it’s no secret that QBs get all the love. And why shouldn’t they? Afterall, the QB can make or break their team. Just ask the rebuilding teams that spent much of their first few years in the league chasing that top passer while guys like Mike Boss and King Bronco led their squads to multiple championships. Well, this year, the love goes to Gus Showbiz, who put together a passer rating of 108.5. Showbiz put together 31 successful passes on 54 attempts for a total of 459 yards! Even better, he found the End Zone 5 times, sending Touchdowns to RB Ricky Adams (2),WR Sunnycursed (2), and WR Carlito Crush (1). He also helped receivers Crush and Atwell break 100 yards; Sunnycursed was close with 99 yards, but missed the milestone by only 1 yard. Heartbreaking in theory, but word going around is that Sunnycursed is too busy celebrating the championship win to worry about it. But the real man of the hour remains Showbiz, who put up an absolutely spectacular performance to cap off an incredible season. And we expect him to continue to do just that for many seasons to come. (214 Words)

Task #3 - Unsung Hero

Since Showbiz got the MVP love, let’s showcase another Otters player who helped put his team over the top in the play-offs: WR Carlito Crush. As already mentioned, Crush broke 100 yards in the championship game with a total of 148 yards on 5 catches (that’s almost 30 yards per catch!) and found the end zone with a touchdown in the big game. He also caught the ball 6 times in the team’s ASFC Championship game, picking up 133 yards and 1 Touchdown. Now, those are impressive numbers in their own right, but when you factor in his competition for targets, veteran WR Tegan Atwell, rookie upstart WR Sunnycursed, and multifaceted RB Ricky Adams, it becomes even more impressive. Even more impressive, Carlito does it with humility and class. He always performs at a high rate, but you never hear him toot his own horn or put his accolades above his team. The man is a team player first and foremost. With players like that, it’s no surprise that the Otters have found their way back to the land of the champions. Big shout-out to Carlito for “crushing” it this post-season. Pun intended. (203 Words)

Task #4 - Enemies Happen

So, saving the best for last. We talked about players that deserve praise, but what player is overrated? Well, let’s talk about RB Ricky Adams. A guy that people are already calling “Offensive Player of the Year”. Just look at the play-off games to see how he performs under pressure. In the championship game, it was Zephyrous that carried the team’s running game, putting up more yards and scoring 2 rushing TDs. Adams did catch 2 receiving TDs, to be fair, but was otherwise non-existent while the team’s WRs absolutely dominated. Even Zephyrous himself totaled an amazing 11 catches for 49 yards. Not much per catch, sure, but he kept the chains moving both in the air and on the ground. The two split carries for a small amount of yards in the ASFC championship, but Adams was again mostly a non-factor in the receiving game and only found the endzone once. That said, I’m obviously just having some fun. Adams has been a dynamic player and undoubtedly help the team get it done on offense. He and Zephyrous make a great combination and, as the league’s first dedicated receiving back, I’m excited to see him follow in my footsteps. I hope to see him win OPotY and keep the momentum going into next season. (230 Words)

Task 1

1) IT IS OUR TIME THIS (NEXT) YEAR

I was so proud of San Jose this year and how we played, and making the playoffs as well. Our luck did run out in first round against the Otters. However, I know we will be back in the playoffs next year and have high hopes for San Jose taking the Ultimus Championship. There are a few different reasons why as well, one of them being myself. As long as I, Zapp Brannigan remain on the team they have the best and tightest Tight End in the league hands down. Trust me, and do not look at the stats. Second, would be our Quarterback Joliet Christ. The man keeps on progressing every year and looks to be a top tier Quarterback for many years to come. The more he improves, the better our offense is both in the passing and running game, helping everyone out. I just hope he continues to throw the ball more to me! And, lastly our management, both General Managers have been working their butts of for this team and the plan they set out for is finally coming to fruition. This season is only a taste of the future of San Jose and our Ultimus win next year.

3) PRE-GAME or...POST-GAME

This is going to be a sad review of our game against the Otters in the Conference Championship, but like I mentioned before that I am extremely happy and proud of San Jose for our performance this year. Going into the game everyone was excited to be playing but we had to stay focused on the task ahead and not be complacent against the Otters. The first quarter was rather uneventful, we were able to score the first Touchdown of the game which gave us some momentum. Then going into halftime, we were up by a field goal leading 10-7. I am not sure what changes going into the 2nd half but we were not able to stop them defensively or get anything going on Offense. What really put the nail in the coffin was the interception return Broxton had for the touchdown in the 3rd quarter, we couldn’t get anything going from there. The Otters continued to score 28 unanswered points in the second half destroying our hopeful hearts. Showbiz absolutely demolished us that game throwing for 362 yards and for 3 touchdowns, and his favorite receiver this game was Crush who totaled 6 reception for 133 yards and a touchdown as well.

5) ENEMIES HAPPEN

Everyone has their rival or enemies luckily mine was in the playoffs, Declan Harp, playing for the Baltimore Hawks. Now I am finally able to show everyone just how bad he is. Harp and myself were in the same draft class in S9, Declan was the first Tight end selected going 5th overall, and I was selected 11th overall in the second round. Ever since then we have been rivals playing the same position and always compared to one another, many people saying he is the tightest end too, which I fully disagree with. So, I hope this postseason he fails miserably. Poor Harp only had 4 reception and 32 yards in the conference championship, which Baltimore was able to win. During our conference game, I only had 2 receptions for 21 yards. I did have a higher average though! I was really hoping Harp and myself would face off against one another in the playoffs to see who is the better tight end. Unfortunately, our season end abruptly and rather rudely as well, but Harp did lose the championship game. The only bright spot of the playoffs for me. But during the regular season I had more receiving yards, higher average and more touchdowns than Harp so I am better then him!

well this years ultimus was between the stinky hawks and the stinky otters and honestly i don't know who i wanted to lose more because both teams are baddies and it was very unfortunate that the goodies who are the new orleans second line were not in the ultimus this season which was a very bad thing because they have been in the ultimus for the past few seasons and i was just getting used to being good after being on a bad team for so long with the las vegas legion and it was so nice to be making the playoffs and it was a bit sad to not make the payoffs this season but anyway in the ultimus game there was two ex teammates who betrayed the goodies and went to the baddies teams and that was jaylon broxton and blackford oakes so i didn't want either of them to win but also they are my friends so i was cheering for both of them so i had mixed emotions and also i completely forgot that the ultimus was on and didn't watch it so i had to ask the locker room what even happened later on that night although it probably wouldn't be worth watching as nothing could top last seasons ultimus game
