(S17) - PT1 - Opening Day!

[Air Crou]

What excites me about a new season?! Really? Bro! Football is back! The withdrawal feeling I get is ridiculous! The summer is just boring without football. 16 weeks of play, condensed in 5 weeks, if you go all the way up to the Ultimus or 20 if we talk about the Superbowl. The NSFL break is like one month, but it is still ridiculous! And don't get me started on the NSFL 6 month break! BUT! Football is back! All the top players to fight it out Sunday after Sunday, till we get to the Superbowl. Gatherings with friends, beer, steaks, and football. A man's paradise. But really, what makes me excited as a NSFL player at the beginning of each season is the anticipation that built up through the training camp. Especially with the bitter ending of the previous season. You could see the disappointment both in the locker room and in the city of Yellowknife. And for a highly disregarded player, mostly outside the locker room, I have a huge chip on my shoulder, and I want to win. No more sad faces. That's what I love about new seasons. The fact that they are a new beginning, and a reason to make people happy through hard work and dedication. Because they deserve it. Because we deserve it.
