Going to Disneyland
The Ultimus MVP is going to be the man, the myth, the legend, Borkus Maximus III, the quarterback of the New Orleans Second Line. Borkus Maximus III is going to Disneyland for one thing, meet all of his favorite celebrities. Borkus prepared his trip by memorizing a map of the park and where all of his favorite characters hang out as well as the different entrances to the employee lounge. As soon as Borkus arrived in the park with a parade and stroll down Main Street in his convertible Nissan Leaf he hopped in line to get Mickey and Minnie Mouse to sign the jersey he wore in the Ultimus game. Next Borkus headed to the central circle and was able to meet up with Donald Duck and Pluto for two more signatures. Borkus was able to get a real steal by running into Jasmine and Aladdin in Adeventureland. On his way to his castle to hit up the princesses Borkus was able to get a signature from a true underdog in Frontierland, Gaston! Borkus was giddy with excitement after his run in with the hero from Beauty and the Beast and missed the princesses altogether and went straight to Tomorrowland. In Tomorrowland he ran into one of the most famous Disney celebrities and was able to snag another signature from Stormtrooper FN-2187. Wow! What a trip! @bovovovo
Root for the Underdog
The team that has the best chance to pull off an upset has got to be the Orange County Otters. Now, I know the Orange County Otters are going to have to go into the New Orleans Second Line stadium and take on the best team in the league that simply has not lost at home, but if anybody can pull it off it is the Orange County Otters. There are a couple of reasons as to how this can happen because the Orange County Otters are a great team on various fronts. First of all the Orange County Otters are not slouches by any means, they are currently sitting at a league second best ten wins and have over 50% win percentage on the road. They can win when the travel. Perhaps even more impactful is that the Orange County Otters are just straight winners. This is the best franchise in the history of the league and counting out their front office and coaching team is just wrong. The Orange County Otters have shown us from league inception to today that they are a team that is feared and should be taken extremely seriously in the playoffs, even when you are playing at home and are heavily favored. The Second Line has a better offense, but the Otters have a slight edge with defense and coaching that could get them the upset.
Sit-down with a star
1. You and defensive line rookie Townsend are making a big impact in the running game with 8 and 11 tackles for loss respectively, how do you think you ability to cause problems in the backfield will impact the Otters in your first match-up?
Working alongside Townsend this season has been a revelation for me this season. Last year I had zero TFL, so his presence has freed me up to make more plays in the run game, no doubt. During the regular season against the Otters I had my biggest game of the year- 7 tackles, 2 of which were for a loss, and 1 was a sack, and I recovered a fumble that Townsend caused. I expect to have another big game in our coming matchup too- me and Townsie are going to work off one another to disrupt their O with stunts and twists. We're going to keep them guessing and be opportunistic.
2. What is the general state of the locker room going into the playoffs this season following such a great season? How confident are you guys?
We feel good as a team. Coming in here last season we felt like we could repeat. Of course, we all know that didn't work out for us, but our confidence wasn't shaken by any means. We came back in this season, took it a game at a time, and we're coming in as the best team in the game. Prep for this week has only gotten more focused and intense- we know what's at stake here: Legacies. We're intending to build on ours over these next few games. It's an expectation of all or nothing, there will be no moral victories should we fall short.
3. The Second Line has the best offense in the league, how does that motivate you as a player on the defensive side of the ball?
The offense has been balling out all year. In fact, it's a good thing they have, because we haven't been able to stop other teams from scoring on us in the way that we want to. Sure, it's understandable that we're unlikely to pitch a shutout on a given week, but when you're surrendering 30+ points in a contest, even when you do get the dub, it lights a fire under your ass. They've carried us most weeks, although we've made our share of plays. I'd love for it to be us who's making their jobs easy for a chang
4. You are getting to play with one of the all time greats in Godfrey King, how does it feel playing with the veteran player in the twilight of his career? Has he taught you anything about playing on the defensive line?
Playing next to King has been vital for me in my career here. Coming in as a true rookie, I was definitely facing an uphill battle, since most players spend another season or two down in the DSFL. So, I had a lot of catching up to do, and it was King who stepped up to help me get up to speed as quickly as possible. We like to get competitive too- even as an old man I still couldn't beat him in tackles this season, we both had 31, and he got more sacks than me- which is downright embarrassing. Every day he's challenging me to be better, and as we like to say, iron sharpens iron. He's made me sharper, and I hope to carry on his legacy when he does finally hang 'em up.
