Unsung Hero (200 words)
Did you ever hear the saga of Stephen Harris the Kicker? I thought not. It's not a story the Offensive and Defensive players would tell you. It's a Special Teams legend. Stephen Harris is the kicker for the Philadelphia Liberty, so powerful and so accurate that he made 4 kicks from an average of 41.75 yards in the NSFC Conference Championship game. He has such a knowledge of kicking technique that he could even go 4 for 4 on extra points in the Ultimus against the toughest, most spooky defensive line in the league. Such amazing technique and mental resolve is a pathway to a skill-level some consider to be unnatural. He's become such an amazing kicker... the only thing he was afraid of was missing a kick in the Ultimus, which of course, is ridiculous because he's the GOAT and would never miss. Unfortunately, Stephen Harris acted like it was just another day on the job, and allowed himself to become overlooked and forgotten for his immeasurably important role in the Philadelphia Liberty's playoff success. Ironic, he could score 20 out of the Liberty's 68 playoff points, but he couldn't bring himself and other kickers the attention they deserve.

1) what was it like reaching the NSFC championship game, but not with the team you’d spent the past few seasons with?
It was weird. My entire career before week 10 was spent with the Outlaws. I won 3 rings with them, I lost a few playoff games with them, and I also went through scandals with them. Going to the wraiths was like Tom Brady going to a different team, it felt weird. But I enjoyed my time there.
2) your stats weren’t the best in season 7, but you were a defensive end playing in a 3-4 defensive line. Now that you’re with the Hawks, what kind of improvement do you expect to see?
Yea my stats were pretty bad, but I also found out that I was playing at 20 pounds below what I should have due to an updating problem. I should be much better, and I should be one of the best DL in the league next season.
3) What drew you to signing with the Hawks?
I knew slm from the PBE, and I also knew he was an awesome guy. I trusted he would make sure I would be the best, and I'm positive the Hawks will compete for the ultimus.
4) If Red-Tailed Hawks couldn’t fly, but could reach their max speed (120mph) by running (instead of in flight), would they have gone extinct or would they now be an apex predator?
Extinct i guess, I means I could just stick a fucking knife in front of me and let the hawk run into me. Dumbass hawk is probably retarded, and will just run into the knife like the idiot it is

Playoff Review (205 words)
The season seven playoffs were much like past National Simulation Football League playoffs: exciting! In game one (the NSFC Conference Championship Game), the 10-4 Philadelphia Liberty travelled to Yellowknife, home to the Wraiths who had just gone 13-1. Much to everyone’s surprise (minus Liberty fans), the Philadelphia Liberty held MVP candidate Akselsen to just 220 yards in the air and 34 on the ground - well below his usual stat line. Tyler Oles, in contrast, threw for 365 yards and two touchdowns on the way to a Liberty underdog victory! Game 2 was Arizona Outlaws at Orange County Otters. This matchup was a bit less thrilling, with the 12-2 Otters walking over 5-9 Arizona on their way to a 48-24 victory, in which Mike Boss tallied 484 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. The last game of the playoffs: the Ultimus! Philadelphia Liberty at Orange County Otters; a rematch of the season 6 Ultimus game. Philly gained all the momentum immediately when they started the game with a kickoff return for a touchdown, and they carried this momentum ever forwards towards a solid 28-19 victory. This is very surprising to be honest, considering that Liberty quarterback Tyler Oles had a <50% completion rate and 2 interceptions.
