Sit Down with a Fan
1. What are your career ambitions? What do you hope to accomplish with the short career span of an nsfl player?
My career ambitions as a player are to bring a Ultimus trophy to the city of New Orleans for the fans and more importantly, for Bovo. My personal ambitions are to one day get into the Hall of Fame, although that's not something I have to stress too much about right now. I'm just trying to take each game one at a time.
2. Who do you look up to in the league? Is there anyone you model you game after?
Growing up I looked up to guys like Urlacher and Lewis, but once I reached the league I developed new role models. Wallace Stone really helped in my development as a veteran on the team, so I'm really sad to see him leave NOLA this offseason. Players outside of NOLA that I look up to are guys like Saint and Winchester who are completely changing the game as LBs.
3. Do you have any predictions on how free agency and the draft will turn out for NOLA?
I'm hoping that Free Agents see NOLA for what it is, a team that is planning on having huge success 1-2 seasons down the road. We have a lot of young guys on the team who are crushing it in the weight room and improving every week. For the draft, I'm personally hoping for some help on defense, bring in a new guy eager to get better and play for this franchise.
4. You just transferred out if the B1G. Can you tell us a little more about your decision and if it has anything to do with the upcoming NCT?
That's right, I just transferred from Michigan to UNC. UNC needed a linebacking corp and it just turns out that my highschool football coach just got the job at UNC, so I wanted to go play for him again, while also earning a starting position while I'm at it.
That Magic Moment
I think everyone watching the sim of the NSFL Ultimus Championship game was either shocked, ecstatic, or furious at the 4th down end zone drop by Josh Garden. As a non-fan of either team, watching that red zone drive was amazing as a football fan in general. That defensive stand by the Otters will go down in history as one of the most memorable events in the NSFL. Kids are gonna ask their parents one day, "Dad, were you watching the game when Josh Garden dropped the ball in the end zone on 4th down in the S6 Ultimus game?" and i will answer "yes son... and it was the craziest shit ive ever seen in my life let me tell you that for free." The post-game outrage by Liberty fans was big enough to fuel all of the fires that emerged when the city of Philadelphia rioted that night. I'm sure that Josh Garden has thought about that play ever since the ending of that game, and Philly fans across the nation are not going to forget that lightly, but they have to remember that they were within literally a yard of beating the dynasty that is the Orange County Otters.

Unsung Hero
In my own opinion, i think Borkus Maximus was the unsung hero of the S6 NSFL playoffs. Let me tell you my reasoning before you quote me saying "But payton you idiot, New Orleans Second Line didnt even make the S6 playoffs you doorknob". My reasoning is this... If borkus maximus hadn't selflessly let the other teams win all season, we wouldve went 14-0, putting up 100 points a game, and completely steamrolling through the playoffs without any resistance. It wouldn't have even been entertaining to watch and i think it would have completely destroyed the league and caused every single other team to mass retire, because they were so tired with losing. Borkus Maximus is just waiting until someone dares him to actually go all out and throw for 17,000 yards in a season with 86 TDs and -1 Interceptions. The playoffs would have been a joke had Maximus not spent all season hooking up with the Second Line groupies and actually went to practice for once, but Borkus was too kind to the league. We should all be thanking Bovo for allowing us to have an entertaining playoffs to watch. Josh Garden wouldn't have even had the opportunity to drop the game winning TD, so think about that.
