(S9) - PT 3 - Past Events

[ExemplaryChad]

The biggest moments for me in the NSFL weren’t the times when I got a bunch of tackles or picked off a QB. They weren’t the times the Yeti went 0-16 to complete the imperfect season. They weren’t even the wins that we’ve gotten in my time here, as special as those have been. The most memorable moments for me are the ones that were league-shaking, earth-shattering developments. There are some that weren’t so positive. We’ve had our fair share of scandals in this league (though thankfully not recently). But I’m choosing to focus on a change that was made for the better: specifically, the introduction of the offensive line bots.

Offensive line was a position that was populated by few players, and even fewer who enjoyed it. They don’t amass stats, and they’re not particularly fun to watch on the field. While everyone else is running around chasing the ball, the O-line just sits there, occasionally giving up a sack. No one wants to watch that. The attributes and trainings were fairly straightforward, and there was really no creativity there. Basically, the only people playing along the line were GMs of teams who needed better linemen. The introduction of bots changed all this, and it improved the league more in a single stroke than anything else I’ve witnessed here.
