Robbed: Philadelphia Liberty were robbed of a playoff spot. Their 7-7 record wasn't good enough to squeak into the postseason but we feel this is a team that would've put up a fight. The Liberty were a surprise this season when they didn't drop below .500 winning percentage at years end. So much of a surprise that they should've really made the postseason over the Colorado Yeti. In a perfect world the Baltimore Hawks wouldn't have made it because why reward cockiness and arrogance with a postseason berth. Liberty had some upstart play from a lot of their youngsters and it actually paved the way for a productive season. Not to mention the Colorado Yeti didn't even show up for their playoff game (or they would have you believe with their terrible performance against the Baltimore Hawks). At least the Liberty would've scored more than one touchdown against an overconfident Hawks defense. The issue this year for the Liberty would've been offence though as their defence actually finished number one in the entire league for least points allowed per game. The yeti offence would've had to contend with a defense that looks primed to take control of the conference for years to come.
Hate the player or the game: I think with their cap penalties and failure to abide by the league rules, the Baltimore Hawks should've been kicked out of the postseason and suspended for a playoffs. Thus Philadelphia would've made it and kicked Colorado's asses. Baltimore was easily a team focused on money laundering in the off-season or something illegal that the IRS was involved with. Their heads were elsewhere in the Ultimus Bowl and for that we might have been better off sending another team to represent the NSFC. Not only that but they have the worst jersey and logo in the league so it's obvious it's not something the league is going to want to brand for the future. I don't even think the Hawks players like the Hawks players as it's too many egotistical players in one locker room. When this team folds the league will be better off. Why allow a team that tip toes around the cap restrictions, to gain an advantage and then get into the playoffs? I'm thinking most teams should avoid to list players on their roster finances and see if the league notices. Shady operations call for stricter penalties and these guys should forfeit some draft picks as well.
That Magic Moment: In the Ultimus Bowl this past week the New Orleans Second Line beat the Baltimore Hawks just like how it should be. However, the talk of the entire game was a huge punt return that saw Vladimir Fyodorovich break loose for a 50 yard scamper that torched the Baltimore Hawks special teams unit. The run was set up by some key blocks down field and eventually Fyodorovich brook lose and had the punter to beat with a slick juke. Vladimir was almost tripped up at the start of the return but his boot got loose from the grip of a Baltimore Hawks special teamer. This set the game up in New Orleans favour as they ended up grabbing a touchdown league late in the first quarter. Vladmir's scamper will go down as one of the greatest plays in New Orleans history but also one of the critical moments in an Ultimus Bowl championship game. Not only that, but Vladimir would then hit pay dirt three more times after to help his punt return become all for the right cause of winning. Break away speed and elusive running made it a thrilling play and everyone was out of their seats watching the young European break away from the pack.
Going to Disneyland!: It's pretty obvious who was the Ultimus Bowl Most Valuable Player. Vladimir Fyodorovich walked away from the field with four total touchdowns and that earned him a trip to Disneyland and a brand new Chevrolet Equinox to tour his family around. While in Disneyland Fyodorovich stopped by many rides where people recognized him from their television sets a week before. Vladimir hit up Space Mountain a couple times in the morning to get his heart pumping before outlasting Indiana Jones' obstacles on his way to a relaxing afternoon with the Tea Cups. The highlight of the trip to Disneyland was the "It's A Small World" ride where Fyodorovich ended up puking because of the god awful soundtrack that seems to get everyone your or old. A nice stop for dinner inside one of the Bourbon street grills (which made him feel right at home). Vladimir finished the hot summer day with a tour on the log run where he forgot to bring a change of pants so he was basically sitting in his wet drawers for the rest of the night. They capped the night off with the California Adventure fireworks that seem to happen each night at the fairgrounds.
