2.) Holiday Bowl
A festive Ultimus is almost unheard of. But due to the strange nature of the game that takes place at various different times of the year it was almost inevitable that this would happen eventually and thankfully the league has a contingency plan in place to allow for these things. After applying to various religious and political groups to delay Christmas this year that ultimately proved unsuccessful, the league instead decided to adapt. The game field will be lined with Christmas trees on both sides to get everyone in the mood - just make sure you don’t run out of bounds. Additionally there will be tinsel wrapped around the goalposts and some Christmas lights too just to really help everyone get in the mood. While it is unfortunate that the players involved will have to spend their Christmas locked in intense training for the biggest game of the year, the festive changes that the league has made to the game should go some way to making people feel better about that fact. Perhaps next year the NSFL will work on its scheduling slightly to avoid incidents like this, but if it proves to be a success perhaps the Holiday Bowl will become a more regular occurrence.
6.) Recruitment
As everyone who has ever had the pleasure of listening to Skip Bayless knows, the NSFL is a quarterback’s league. If I’m building my bot franchise from the ground up it’s very important that I come in with a starting quarterback who can put points up and lead the team in the locker room and on the field. Next we’re going to need protection for the QB and bringing in a very capable offensive line. I am firmly of the belief that a QB and a strong offensive line are the most important ingredients in a successful offence; flashy skill receivers and running backs are just a bonus. They would be a lesser priority, as long as my quarterback is well protected and has time to read the field properly, as long as the receivers he has are just okay then that’s good enough. My next focus is defense. I want a real playmaker of a linebacker, either a great pass rushing outside linebacker or a middle linebacker who can command the whole defense, read what’s going on and make important plays. Then a competent secondary and a passable d line should be enough to get the job done. If built like this my bot team would be quite frankly unbeatable and as such, this is the direction we’re going.
8.) Scouting Report
Jamie Nkiah was about as unheralded a prospect as we saw enter the NSFL draft this season. After a promising college career, Nkiah found himself a member of the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers and a potential draft pick that could go fairly high up in the draft. However a disappointing season in the DSFL where he showed little growth off the field and couldn’t get a start in any of the games played, meant he looked an unlikely pick at all until Arizona picked him up as a late round flyer. In the following 24 hours Jamie promises to have upped his game and has commuted to becoming a high effort player in an attempt to repay his draft pick. A safety who boasted an all round game built off enough speed to chase down the wiriest receiver or running back, the strength to match up with all but the biggest of tight ends and a great read of the game, Nkiah shows a lot of promise if he can grow the skillset he has so that it translates at the NSFL level. He has great size for his speed additionally, having played as a linebacker for a time in college, and has even shown off an impressive set of hands, making some big interceptions at important moments. There is a big skill gap that Nkiah needs to cross before anyone can get excited about him at the NSFL level; his main challenge will be upping his game to perform strongly at the DSFL level. But if we start to see the right things this season, then perhaps Nkiah could become a useful asset for the Outlaws in the seasons to come.
10.) Commissioner
If I were to step in to the job in which I believe I am undeniably suited as the commissioner of the league, the immediate change I would make would be expansion to 32 teams. A full league’s worth immediately would make some interest from outsiders jump and add a true variety of teams with a full spectrum from all out tanking rebuilders to dominant teams. Once we have an established 32 team league setup, I’m then turning my attention to mass recruitment. I’m talking TV adverts, ads on bus stops, on every website out there to get the NSFL message to the world. I believe that this will be so successful that in a short space of time the NSFL will reach its full capacity with every player role taken up and that’s when we start to make money. The league becomes paid subscription at a rate of $19.99 - a bargain price for the amount of fun that can be had as a part of this league. I don’t think this decision would be wildly popular with NSFL purists but in order to ensure the long term health of the the league and a healthy profit margin returned for my time as commissioner.
