7. Robbed
Written Option:
I'd say that my team, the London Royals were robbed from the playoffs this season. Why? It's simple. We had the best defensive player in the DSFL on our team this year, Derred de Ville, and arguably the best offensive player, Acura Skyline, as well. They carried our team to several blowouts this year. Not only that, but we had Colby Jack, who was the 2nd overall pick in last year's draft, and is the best QB in the league by far. We also had Quinn Hughes, the best Safety in the DSFL, and me, Cadillac Harris, the best Cornerback in the DSFL. We were a pairing similar to that of Vander Jones and Walt Green on the San Antonio Marshals in Season 14. And, even further than that, we had Sandro Ryeu, who was a dominant Defensive End this year, and a dynamic WR pairing in Nick Kaepercolin and Susan Cash Jr. By now, you should be asking yourself: "How did this stacked team not make the playoffs and win the Ultimini this season?" Well, my friend, your guess is as good as mine. All I can say for sure is that the Royals are going for it all next season. We'll crush the regular season, dominate the playoffs, and secure that god damn trophy. You can quote me on that.
8. Revenge
Written Option:
The team that I'd like to get revenge on the most are the Dallas Birddogs. I'm a player for the London Royals, and as most people in the league know, both of our teams were the latest ones to join the league in the most recent expansion. So, solely based on that, it's clear that we're going to be rivals, one way or another. Even more, both of our team's QB was picked in direct succession to theirs, and they're brothers. As his teammates, it's our responsibility to try and make that a point that his brother can't argue about in whatever sibling rivalry that they have. And the only way that we can do that is by beating his team soundly every time we play them. That team happens to be the Birddogs. So, that's another point as to why I want to beat them. We succeeded in blowing them out in our first matchup of the season, which became a big part of our trash talk against them. Later on, in our second meeting of the season, they were able to repay the favor. This did not go over well with me, and I want to make sure that we're able to make a statement by gaining the upper hand in the rivalry once again next season, whether I'm still on the Royals or on an NSFL team.
19. Team Culture
Written Option:
To me, there are a variety of things that determine how good a team's culture is. And no, it has nothing to do with how well they perform in the regular season or the playoffs. It mostly has to do with how good their locker room is. A good locker room, to me, has to be generally light-hearted and friendly, with almost no arguments between teammates or guests. It also has to have Pokecord. Pokecord is an essential part of every locker room. The sudden rush of serotonin that you get when you catch a legendary or a shiny, coupled with the frustration displayed by your teammates when you flex on them with said rare pokemon is a feeling that everyone loves. It's just essential in keeping a good locker room together. The locker room also has to be active. This is by far the most important part. An active locker room is great because it serves as a good retreat from the stupidity that is NSFL general. Rookie chat is just an utter disaster. I hate rookie chat. A good example of a locker room that epitomizes what a locker room that positively represents it's team culture should look like is the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers locker room. They're active, they're light-hearted and friendly (with the exception of Frostbite), and most importantly, they have Pokecord. I'd say they're the second best locker room in this league, second only to the Royals locker room. The Royals are just the best at everything, so it's no shade to them. In conclusion, team culture is heavily defined by how good your locker room is.
