TASK 1 - Sit down with a fan. Thanks to @Muford
Question 1: How do you feel about going into New Orleans and playing them on their home turf, that team has shown to be quite dominant at home?
I knew it was going to be a tough game. The Second Line are a great team, and splitting the season series shows close to even these two teams are. They have a great home field advantage, the move to New Orleans was obviously a huge success. The defense they have is top notch, and I know that they're gonna give me all we have. Borkman is a great young QB so we'll see if our D can try to slow him down.
Question 2: Facing New Orleans, what do you think you have to do perfectly to beat them? What is your biggest weakness heading into this game?
Our biggest weakness heading in to the game is gonna be our pass defense. We have the best cornerback to play the game in Antoine Delacour, but he can only do so much. The rest of our guys are going to have to step up. We'll need to play great defense and hpe to force a turnover or two.
Question 3: Losing to NOLA, what are your plans? Is retirement in your future? How much longer do you think you can stay at an elite level?
I mean, losing to NOLA was brutal. We knew they would be tough, they're a great team. As far as plans I'm looking at Mike Boss. He was able to sustain a level of success at the QB position for years. I hope to be able to be his level of efficiency and everything. I think I can stay at an elite level for at least two more seasons, maybe more. I've always said I'm gonna die on the football field. I'm gonna try to dominate for a long time. I want a ring
Question 4: What is your favorite NOLA meme.
N/A. NOLA has made me a sad sad boi
TASK 2 - Sit Down with a star (Muford again)
One - What was it like to win a title in New Orleans
Two - Now that you're facing retirement what was Sharpei's biggest accomplishment
Three - What're Sharpei's post NSFL plans
Four - Was it bittersweet to win in a place that wasn't San Jose?

Three - What're Sharpei's post NSFL plans
Four - Was it bittersweet to win in a place that wasn't San Jose?
One – What was it like to win a title in New Orleans?
Winning a ring in New Orleans was basically a dream come true. The organization has been super supportive since I came over two seasons ago, and the locker room is a great place to be. I even got to win a ring with a bunch of my great friends and teammates from San Jose, so it’s even better, because I get to celebrate with some great guys through and through.
Two – Now that you’re facing retirement, what was Sharpei’s biggest accomplishment?
That’s a tough one, honestly. Getting drafted 4th overall back in season 2 was great, being a cornerstone in San Jose was also great. Being traded and just being part of a great organization was also an eye opening experience, going to NOLA changed a lot of my views on the world. Winning a title here in NOLA has to probably be my biggest accomplishment, and it means a lot to me to help bring a title here.
Three – What’re Sharpei’s post NSFL plans?
Well, that’s an easy one. I plan on meeting up with family and friends and probably getting shitfaced for the next few weeks, you know, that Ultimus high, but then after that I plan on settling down and starting a family.
Four – Was it bittersweet to win in a place that wasn’t San Jose?
Yes, I think bittersweet is a great way to put it. Don’t get me wrong, it is amazing to win a title and be a champion. Sadly, I couldn’t bring a title to San Jose, and ckroyal busted his ass off over and over to try and get us to the ultimate goal. It was a little bit easier because I got a lot of close friends from there to play here with me.
TASK 3 - HATE THE PLAYER
When looking at the ASFC it is obvious that the two best teams in the conference made the playoffs. The ASFC was obviously lead by the Champion New Orleans Second Line and the three time Champions Orange County Otters. The NSFC however was a different story. Clearly the class of the conference were the eventual conference champions Baltimore Hawks, but the second and third best teams were the Colorado Yeti and Yellowknife Wraiths. The Colorado Yeti had a winning record and shockingly made the playoffs at 8 and 6. They did not deserve to make the playoffs over the Yellowknife Wraiths. The Wraiths had a better offense than the Yeti. The Wraiths had a better defense than the Yeti. The Wraiths scored more points than the Yeti. The Yellowknife Wraiths were the better team than the Yeti, even looking at the talent on the team. The Wraiths Quarterback (Mat Akselsen) is obivously better than the Yeti's Ryan Applehort. The Wraiths run game is a lot better lead by Robby Rainey than the Colorado Yeti Mark Grau lead offense. The Wraiths Defense is also better at every level, with Hall of Famers Boss Tweed and Dermott Lavelle anchoring it. The Wraiths were the better more talented team than the Yeti, they just didn't win enough games. 215
TASK 4- SERIES MVP
I am obviously not going to write about the Utlimus game because that obviously makes me sad and depressed. Instead I am going to talk about the NSFC championship game where the Baltimore Hawks Offense was on fire against the Colorado Yeti. The Baltimore Hawks were lead by the Game MVP and star QB Avon Blocksdale. Avon was a monster in the game. Avon threw for under 200 years (194) but was efficient. He threw only 32 passes but completed 20 of them, for a high completion percentage. He also spread the ball around. He threw four touchdown passes to three different receivers. He hit Trey Willie for a touchdown, Alexandre LeClair for a touchdown and Budda Browning for two touchdowns. Even though the Hawks relied on Owen Taylor a lot (he was also great, running for almost 150 yards), when it came to the redzone Avon was the man. He had some long passes on the day, but in the red zone Avon was a monster. He threw a two yard touchdown, a ten yard touchdown, a five yard touchdown and another ten yard touchdown. Avon's 4 redzone TDs made the difference. Without his strong work he would not have been able to go to the Ultimus game. Avon was a monster there too, but it wasn't enough.
