S1 Arizona Outlaws Awards Ceremony!

[ADwyer87]

Arizona Outlaws GM Bogdan Podarok walks to the stage amidst loud cheers from everyone because he is so wonderful

"Welcome, everyone, to the S1 Arizona Outlaws Awards Ceremony!"

More cheers

"Before we delve into the team specific awards, lets recognize the players who won awards at the NSFL level and were recognized at the awards ceremony a few days back"

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me and my trusty colleague @adam2552 as top GMs. I am honored to be graced with a share in the executive of the year award!"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"Next, Lets take a moment to congratulate Jayce Tuck @ErMurazor on his great work for winning the top DL award and the most dedicated player award! His hard work inside and outside the locker room has clearly shown out to others. I'm sure we will hear his name called once again tonight!"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"Next, lets talk about the toast of the town, Isaiah Rashad!"

The crowd roars with applause

"Now Rashad @Destroyer was on a little vacation in Vegas for the past few days, but now he's back with us here in 'Zona! He cleaned up at the NSFL awards, being named Defensive Player of the Year, and of course, top DB in the league! The man they call "The Boss Destroyer" has made quite a name for himself in S1!"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"And lastly, we've got some great hardware here. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present you with the FIRST EVER Solis and Ultimus trophies!!!"

The crowd is so loud that it registers on the Richter scale

"Alright, tonight we are going to start this awards show off with the fan favorite award, The Outlaw award. To present this award, we have a Phoenix fan favorite here: Steve Nash!"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Steve Nash was a Canadian basketball player who would be drafted by the Suns 15th overall in 1996. He would go on to play 10 seasons in Phoenix, winning 2 MVP awards, being named to 8 All-Star teams, 7 All-NBA teams(3 1st, 2 2nd, 2 3rd), making the 50-40-90 club 4 times, and leading the league in assists 5 times. He would retire in 2014 with the LA Lakers.

"Hows it going tonight Phoenix? For the S1 Outlaw Award, you guys voted on who you liked to see out on the field the most. The top 3 vote-getters were:

OL Tim Pest @`TimPest`
RB Reg Mackworthy @Esa77
DT Arbin Asipi @DeathOnReddit

The player who you voted as your favorite player is...."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"RB Reg Mackworthy!!!!

Congratulations Reg!"

@Esa77

"Next up in the awards ceremony is the Spark Plug Award. This player gets things started in practice and in the locker room. On the field and in the media, we always get to see who puts on a show in public, but who does the work even when no one is watching? Who puts in that extra rep, who keeps their team pushing on, and who never stops on any scrimmage play? Thats exactly who we will honor today in this award. The presenter for the S1 Spark Plug award will be none other than: Drew Stanton!"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Drew Stanton played for the defunct Arizona Cardinals. He played 21 games in three years, starting 9 of them. He may have never been the most noteable guy on the field, but he was always ready to step in whenever the team needed him.

"Hey guys, Its great being back in Arizona. For the S1 Spark Plug Award, the nominees are:

DE Jayce Tuck @ErMurazor
QB/WR King Bronko @ADwyer87
LB Harrif Ernston @Valtookan

The winner is..."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"DE Jayce Tuck!!!!

Tuck was without a doubt the hardest worker in practice, and was the most active voice in the locker room as well. This award is well deserved!"

@ErMurazor

"Next is the Dedication award. This is much like the Spark Plug award, except it doesn't just focus on behind the scenes, it focuses on everything: The play on the field, the practice, the LR, and the talks to the media are all taken into account here. Here to present this award is Louie Espinoza!

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Louie Espinoza was a boxer born in Winkleman, Arizona. On January 16th, 1987, he would defeat Tommy Valoy to become the first ever boxing world champion from Arizona. He would get 2 more titles in his career, before retiring with an impressive 52-12-2 record.

"Hello, everyone. The nominees for the S1 Dedication Award are:

RB Reg Mackworthy @Esa77
LB Jaylon Lee @youngcricket
DE Jayce Tuck @ErMurazor

the winner of the award is..."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"DE Jayce Tuck!!!!

As the winner of the NSFL most dedicated award, this should come as a surprise to no one. Congrats!"

@ErMurazor

"Next on the menu: The Leadership award. Sometimes coaches and staff aren't enough to keep the team running smoothly, there has to be a locker room presence there somewhere. When there's a problem, someone in the locker room has to step up and address it. Here to present the leadership award is governor Doug Ducey!"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Doug Ducey is the 23rd governor of Arizona. He was born into a tumultuous family, with divorce and potential links to gang activity, but that didn't stop him. He would end up becoming the CEO of Cold Stone Creamery, and then would enter politics, where obviously he would come to be very successful.

"Hello, Arizona! Its an honor to be here with our champion football squad. The nominees for the S1 Leadership award are:

LB Brady Stropko @Bushito
S Ryan Flock @theFlock
WR Lincoln Jefferson @adam2552

the winner is..."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"WR Lincoln Jefferson!!!!

He really was a key piece to this LR. He will be missed greatly!"

@adam2552

"Next up in the second half of the awards ceremony, the Fellowship award. Teams can be built with skill, but championships are won with team spirit. Creating a culture of loyalty is key to making a prolonged run at dominance, and that all starts with finding the right players who will stick with you no matter what. This award recognizes players like that. Here to present that award, fittingly, is Larry Fitzgerald"

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Another member of the defunct Cardinals, Larry Fitzgerald is easily one of the greatest wide receivers of all time, and can easily be described as the greatest Cardinal of all time. In his 13 year career, he surpassed 1000 passing yards 8 times, led the league in receptions twice, and led the league in TDs twice. This was all done while being a member of the Arizona Cardinals, as Fitz showed serious loyalty to his teammates.

"I love you Arizona! Great to be back in the heat talking about football! The nominees for the S1 Fellowship Award are:

LB Harrif Ernston @Valtookan
OL Tim Pest @`TimPest`
DT Arbin Asipi @DeathOnReddit

The winner is..."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"LB Harrif Ernston!!!!

I think its easy to see, from his long spam posts, to his coining of the phrase 'Outlaw for Life', to his sheer excitement at anything Outlaws, Ernston is by far the most passionate about the team, and therefore his teammates. A well deserved award!"

@Valtookan

"Now we move on from the character awards to the skill awards. First up is the Top Waiver Add. Teams came into the S1 season with very little room to add or trade, as everyone saw themselves as competitors. This made waiver wire adds all that much more valuable this season. Here to present that award is pitching legend Randy Johnson."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

In 1999, Randy Johnson was a 5 time All-Star and a Cy Young award under his belt. He proceeded to sign with struggling expansion team Arizona Diamondbacks. After that, he went off, and in his 6 year first stint with the Diamondbacks, he would make 5 all star appearances, win 4 straight Cy Youngs, and lead the DBacks to their first ever world championship, picking up a World Series MVP along the way. He was recently elected into the Hall of Fame

"Thank you, Arizona! It's my honor to announce the S1 nominees for Top Waiver Add. They are;

OL Tim Pest @`TimPest`
DE Blaster Blade @Blaster
OL Scott Timlin @scottyt

The winner is..."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"DE Blaster Blade!!!!

Blade came onto the team and performed like a top 5 DE, not to mention the fact that he fell the famous Angus Wall in the playoffs! Congrats."

@Blaster

"Next up, the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Defense, they say, wins championships, and after the incredible year this team had at stopping other teams, I think that phrase holds true. So many great performances on this team, but this award honors the GREATEST of those. Here to present that award is country music star Dierks Bentley."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Dierks Bentley was born right here in Phoenix, Arizona. He has released 8 albums, 27 singles, and has hit the top of the charts 15 times. He is one of country music's all time greats, and has a history of being involved in sports

"Hows it going, Phoenix! I got the nominees for the best defensive player right here. They are:

S Isaiah Rashad @Destroyer
CB Jason Williams @RayCobaine
DE Jayce Tuck @ErMurazor

The winner is..."

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"S Isaiah Rashad!!!!

was there ever any doubt? This man is by far the greatest player in the league right now!"

@Destroyer

"Now, to finally cap it off, the Offensive Player of the Year award. A team that can score 63 points in 2 playoff games certainly must have some offensive firepower. Here we look at where exactly that firepower came from. Here to name off the winner of the award, is none other than the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, a guy you say just moments ago, Isaiah Rashad!

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

Isaiah Rashad is one of the most beloved Outlaws players in Arizona. After being traded away to the Las Vegas Legion for picks due to expansion looming, fans everywhere were heartbroken, but that heartbreak didnt last as just earlier today Rashad was brought back home via another trade! Rashad won 2 awards in the NSFL awards show, and his 10 interceptions doubled any other player, as well as catapulted him up to 5th all time on the 'Top 50 Players of Today' list

"Ayyyyyyyyy, I got some Deja Vu right now haha. The nominees for the Offensive Player of the Year is:

QB Vincent Draxel @701
WR Stormblessed @`DillyDing`
WR Lincoln Jefferson @adam2552

The winner is..."

Rashad smiles at the audience, gives a sly look, and throws out the envelope he was given, instead pulling one he had out from inside his jacket. He opens up the letter and reads the name.

[div align=\\\"center\\\"][/div]

"QB Mike Boss!!!!

Boss always been a good player for us, he makes sure to throw us lots of TD passes!"

@JBLAZE_THE_BOSS (im sorry, someone pitched me this idea and I had to do it lol)

"And with that, we conclude our S1 Awards Ceremony! I'll see you all here again next year, where we will hopefully be celebrating our second championship!"

Don't EVER feel like you are a traitor. Traitors get remembered for generations. You are someone who was part of something successful, and thought you could be successful as well. You are the Cleveland Show.

No award for biggest traitor? Guess I won't win any

At least you didn't join the Yeti. You made a team of your own and if I had same opportunity to do I would do the same.

[Valtookan]

It's actually funny you say that because you, my friend, are being mocked to the Yetis a lot.
