1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
I believe the Wraiths will finally achieve their season long goal of changing the ending this year. A very convincing win in the wildcard proves that the Wraiths show up when the playoffs roll around. This is also Rayne Gordon's farewell tour on the Wraiths as he will be spending next year with Sarasota trying to guide that team into the promised land as well. With Hanyadi and Drake leading that offense, it seems that the Wraiths will finally get the monkey off their back and truly change the ending this year.
I don't believe the Hawks are as good as their record suggests as if the Wraiths are able to shut down star wide out Errol Maddox, they will have a much easier time accomplishing their goal in the Conference Championship. While I believe NOLA will come out on the other end of the bracket, they will still not be a match for this year's Wraiths as they will be your S21 Ultimus champs.
They have been close for a few years now and with their window finally fully open, they will strike while the iron is hot as this is their last chance before losing a key piece of their offense in the off season.

6) Next Year
I think San Jose is in a good position to make some competitive runs for the ultimus in a few years. They will be adding their QB of the future in Monty Jack this upcoming season and they will also have a few call ups from last year that have been earning and working hard. In addition, they have a very young core and therefore, are unlikely to be pillaged of key veterans during the expansion draft as well allowing them to keep their young core together to develop and have a super team sooner than later.
Resigning DTF and Jackson give the Cats a formidable 1-2 punch at wide out and Leon McDavid has proven himself to be an effective and elite tight end as well. San Jose also has all of their picks in this upcoming draft and will be able to pick up much needed pieces to compliment what they already have.
On the other side of the ball, PickSix and Allen proved they belong in the league to add to the defensive prowess of the cats and with Otle coming up along with other draftees in the season 22 draft the cats are poised to strike soon taking full advantage of their young core being together to form a dynasty for years to come.

13) Interview a Star - Brandon Booker MB
1) Most see you as a spiritual successor in the MB locker room to Legendary HeHateMe PickSix. How have you been able to go in and do your own thing, but also keep his spirit in the MB locker room?
2) How does it feel to be an Ultimini champ?
3) do you have any teams on your do not play for list? Who do you want to be drafted by?
4) Why is HeHateMe PIckSix your idol?
1) It's nice to be compared to HeHateMe, but we're quite different players and the team has changed a lot since the previous season. I'm not sure it would've been possible to replace the individual impact of players like HeHateMe and Prince Vegeta but the GMs have been able to build a really deep roster. The competitive spirit and drive to be the best we can be that players like HeHateMe helped to build in the locker room is very much still there and every player on the roster can be proud of how their hard work has contributed to our success this season.
2) It feels fantastic. Our goal right from the beginning of the season was to secure the number 1 seed so that we'd have HFA through the playoffs, and that's what we did. Every team improved a lot over the offseason so everyone involved with the team should feel really proud of what we accomplished.
3) I want to be drafted by any team that's impressed with me enough to make me their first or second round pick. I've had great conversations with all the GMs and scouts around the league and every team is filled with players I admire and would love to play alongside.
4) HeHateMe is one of those players who you love to have on your team, but hate to see on the opposing team. He talks trash, he winds people up and he backs it up with his play. People are desperate to see him fail because of the way he carries himself, but he just keeps getting better and better.
19) Team Culture
I think the culture in San Jose is fantastic. Going in, I wasn't too sure what to think, I had previously experienced both the good and the bad during my DSFL year. I really like how both GMs are willing to sit down and listen to your issues and try to rectify them for you. There's a lot of sincerity in that room that made a losing season both tolerable and fun. The expectations were set early and I think everyone in that LR bought in that while we are not ready to compete just yet, we are laying a very strong foundation to compete for many years to come shortly.
I really enjoy the separate meeting rooms for each player so we can have a GMs ear privately as well as discuss contract situations in addition to talking about pretty much any subject that comes up. You can tell the GMs are trying to make their LR active again and are putting in effort into doing so as well and not just letting the members fend for themselves.
I wanted to give a personal shoutout to both GMs of San Jose to let them know that their work is noticed and very appreciated. The San Jose Lockerroom is HeHateMe PickSix approved.
