19) Team Culture:
Throughout the recent rebuild in San Jose spirits have remained relatively high due to the strong relationships formed between the active members on the team & the backbones of the team were all from the same Season 17 draft class. This sort of environment is hopefully going to attract potential free agents & entice draft choices to buy into the team culture and take smaller contracts in order to help the team compete in the near future. As arguably one of the best players on the Sabercats, a lot of the responsibility to set the tone on the field falls upon Tyron Brackenridge as he continues to put out consecutive Pro Bowl seasons & to help bring along the younger players as he enters regression in a few seasons. The greatest aspect of the culture for this team is the opportunities for different individuals to input ideas regarding draft choices, sim testing, or trivial things such as emojis to liven up the place. Although i have not been in the league for an extended amount of time, the San Jose locker has been more than i could have asked for with the acceptance & ability to work things out in order to maintain a relatively enjoyable place to hang out and to foster the relationships between players, which inevitably is good for the culture on and off the field.

Armchair GM:
While the Sabercats are looking to end their rebuild in the near future they still have some crucial holes to fill on this team. The first of which includes the defensive backs whose only true stand out is HeHateMe PickSix as the rest appear to be inactive or slow earners who don't look to help the team in the future. Due to the expansion draft this season the free agent market is looking to be thin and the massive draft class looks to be the best way to inject some young talent into this roster. Another hole that i believe that the team should address is the Wide Receivers as Action Jackson's progress in the offseason and the training room has begun to stall and has brought attention to his suitability as a top end WR 1 in this league. If the team could add a top tier WR to either support or take over the #1 role it could serve to help Dan Wright in his final season. A trade would be the move here in my opinion as you could snag a player about to or already in their decline for a relatively later pick. Another last hole the team should look to fill includes K/P as Kicky Bobby has continued to struggle on the field and a competing leg in camp could only serve the team positively. The Draft once again is the move here with the plethora of available kickers and the relatively low need for the across the league.

Nostalgia:
Throughout my career thus far in the NSFL it is difficult to pick out my absolute favorite moment so far but I'll let a few that I've had. The first that came to mind was the Prospect Bowl and the hype that surrounded it in the Rookie Discord & how fun it was to actually see my player play for once and Blackbird gang is the best. Another great memory that came to mind was draft night for the NSFL where i honestly had no clue where'd i go since i saw myself making a great impact for any of the teams but I'm grateful that San Jose chose me because of the great times I've had with them so far. The relationships I've formed along the way has also been a definite plus so far because there are some genuinely interesting people in the league and it's always nice to interact with them through media pieces, sim talk, or anything. Remembering back to my article surrounding the S17 draft class also sparks some of these positive memories as we will be forever tied in one group in this simulation league but also the interactions I've had with people before they inevitably went inactive and never came back. While all these memories are good, if i could go back to experiencing the league for the first time again i think i would because of great people and experiences that I've had.
