First and foremost, we are going to have fun with this. We are not going to put our team in some crappy midwestern city where we have to compete with the low-A baseball team. We are going to Vegas, baby! Not only are we not worried about gambling and the other temptations of Sin City, we will embrace it fully. There will be a full hotel and casino attached to the stadium with hotel rooms that connect directly to the suites. Drug use, especially performance-enhancing drugs, will be provided as part of the standard contract for the team. Obviously, we are paying off the simmer and streamer as well. I expect us to go undefeated every season. Our draft strategy will be to draft the most crazy players possible. Since we are definitely going to win, we don’t need to worry about talent; we are here to have fun. Did you get three DUIs in college? You’re on the team! Did they find you passed out on a yacht surrounded by cocaine? We’ve got our eye on you. Did you get suspended for your entire senior year due to steroid use? You’re our number one pick. I will keep the rest pretty vague since this is a family friendly league, but there will be plenty of “rewards” for wins and personal performances.

Overall, Norfolk had a pretty solid year. We were an expansion team, so we had no veterans. Our first round pick (and overall number one pick) fell off the map, only updated twice, and ended up with 114 TPE. Since the QB position is so important, it made it difficult to win. However, our GM, Scorp, did a fantastic job. Despite only getting 6-7 players updates per week, he rallied the troops and lead the Seawolves to the third best record in the league. His leadership allowed us to play better than the sum of our parts, and he should be giving strong consideration for the DSFL GM of the year. Aside from his accomplishments on the field and in the front office, he has been a great resource for me while I have learned about this league and improved my player. He has a wealth of knowledge and is always available to help. In the rare case when he does not know the answer, he has found another seasoned player to assist. For example, he put me in touch with a former nose tackle in order to get specific advice for my player build.
Because of the dedication of the GM and the poor hand he was dealt this year, I have no doubt in my mind that the Seawolves will be competitive next year and for many years to come.

This one is easy. The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers locker room is fantastic. I was a waiver pick up during S 19, and the amount of fun and camaraderie displayed is the main reason that I decided to stick around. Although they were not able to draft me for S 20, they allow alumni to stay in a restricted area of the locker room. As mentioned above, my team for S 20 was not very active, so again the Myrtle Beach locker room was a huge factor for me to continue my career. Frost and Cory are a lot of fun, and they do a great job of promoting a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Their team was dominant, especially on defense, and a large part of that is due to their leadership. Because of the fantastic job of keeping players engaged, their team improved faster than others. Of course success breeds more success, which vaulted them to the top of the league. Although they lost in the championship game, they will be competitive for years to come. Maybe after Plop retires, my new player will be able to enjoy a full season on their roster, on their ship, and laying on “MB best B”.

Let’s put a modern twist on a classic. We’re bringing in “Mean” Joe Greene to pass the ceremonial torch to Pete “Plop” Miller. Pepsi isn't the only soda (or pop, for those of you who are weird) that has thrown down heavyweight ads in prime Ultimus slots. Coca-Cola has plenty of offerings we could copy/update, but the one that sticks out the most is arguably the most simplistic. "Mean" Joe Greene's "hey kid, catch" is iconic to this day.
After a ceremony for the greatest defensive lineman of all time, Plop and Greene run into each other in the hallway. Meeting his childhood hero, Plop can barely contain his excitement. He can’t even think of anything to say. Finally, with a trembling voice, he says “I think you’re the best ever. Want my Coke? It’s OK you can have it. Really, you can have it”. As Plop turns to walk away, Joe calls out, “hey Plop, catch”. Plop returns to the field, Greene’s jersey in hand, and the audience can hear the announcers talking about sack after sack, forced fumble after forced fumble, and the game-winning celebration by Plop. “Have a Coke and a smile“, he thinks to himself. What a great way to honor the past and preview the future.
