Robbed:
There's only one team that was robbed of a playoff spot. The Philadelphia Liberty. They robbed themselves by relying on that no-good sack of crap Logan Noble to be their QB. While a case can be made that several teams purposely tanked, none was more open about it than Philadelphia. There are a sle of other QB options out there that could have been taken, but instead they brought the most notoriously negative face and paraded him out there, in hopes he'd throw their games away and show themselves in for the 1st overall pick in this deep S10 draft. Joke was on them though, because in true Logan Noble fashion, he fucked up being a fuck up. He was far better than Philadelphia ever though possible and they actually won 4 games. This put them third in the draft. I think this also proves that had they put a competent QB out there, like the recently retired King Bronko, they could have won another 3 games or so, which puts them in contention with Baltimore and Colorado. But because the Liberty decided to tank, they shot themselves in the foot and really ruined a lot of my respect for the franchise.

Playoff Series MVP
I have to award the Ultimus MVP to Borkus Maximus III. I didn't actually watch the game because the Otters were not participating and I had real life obligations but I can only assume that Borkus was the reason this team won. Not to discount the great players who made this win a possibility, but Borkus, aka Bovovovo, is the one responsible for assembling this dream team of players. He took the burnt wreckage that was the Las Vegas Legion and resurrected the franchise, after relocating it and giving it a terrible name like the Second Line. Once he named it terribly, he somehow convinced people to play for the terrible team. He's some sort of wizard or something. it was almost like people, when deciding to join a legitimate winning team like the Otters, or siding with a shit storm like the former Legion, people actually wanted to be a part of a losing franchise. Nobody wants to be LeBron James or Kevin Durant, I guess. Except my boy Carlito Crush. The real MVP of the league. But, I digress. Congratulations to Bovovovo, the Legion... er... Second Rate... er... Line. and I think Borkus Maximus III isn't a terrible player after all. I guess...

Unsung Hero
New Orleans Second Line has a lot of fantastic players who contributed to the rise of this franchise. one such player, who has been a big contributor for many seasons, is Dustin Evans. Evans joined the team back in season 5, when they were still the Las Vegas Legion. Amidst the scandals, the betrayals and the whole debacle, Evans stood his ground and remained forever the team player. He stood with the team, refusing to join the mass Exodus. When the team was sold and relocated to New Orleans, he went with it and served as a veteran and guide to all the new players as the team rebuilt. As the seasons went by and the team got better, Dustin put his best years into the rebuild. Last season he began to regress, as aging began to set in, and despite falling short of the championship, he pressed on. This season he finally announced he will be retiring, and the team rallied around him to get him a ring as a member of the Second Line. He had won rings before as an Outlaw, but it really meant more to get one in New Orleans after all the dedication he put into the team.

Hate the player or the game:
The Otters have made the playoffs for 9 straight years now. It's almost embarrassing for the Sabercats and Outlaws at this point that they can't even dethrone the Otters from their improbable streak. For all intents and purposes, the Otters were having a down year. Westfield, Winchester, Boss, Spector, Phelps, Yates all are old and regressing. There was no reason for them to make playoffs, but both the Outlaws and the Sabercats failed to field a team that could beat a DSFL franchise. I seriously question if the Sabercats could defeat the Pythons. There's having a down year and there's full blown implosion, like what the Sabercats are doing. Maybe they think they can recreate the success of the New Orleans Second Line, but all I see is a team failing year after year. Meanwhile the Otters, who have a lot of old talent, could have been easily pushed aside make it to the playoffs on virtue of no viable competition. Had the Otters been in the other division, it could be argued that with stiffer competition, they would have been worse than the Wraiths and Yeti. It really does show the tenacity of the Otters though, to still have such a reliable amount of success, even in a "bad year".
