Franklin Armstrong has been a dream player for me in the NSFL (and DSFL) so far. I never imagined that his career would turn out so fantastic. I see other sim quarterbacks and many don’t reach Armstrong’s level. It all started in S14 when Armstrong was drafted in the 11th round, 63rd overall. He ended up being the starter for the Portland Pythons and the Pythons went on to have a dream season. Armstrong threw for 22 TDs which is still a league record, and led the team all the way to an Ultimini championship. He proceeded to win almost every award including Offensive Rookie of the Year, Quarterback of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Players. He went on to have 2 more Ultimini appearances which sadly ended in losses. But he did manage to win another MVP and QBotY in his final DSFL season. He was drafted to the Otters in S15 in the 3rd round and finally got called up in S17. His rookie numbers were nothing special but when it came to the playoffs, he lit the world on fire. 8 total TDs over 3 games all on the road, against some of the best competition in the NSFL. He was named Ultimus Offensive Player of the Game for his efforts. His next two seasons also ended up in Ultimus victories and he was named Ultimus Offensive Player for all three games. His first regular season award came in S19 when he was named QBotY as well as Most Valuable Player. He would go on to win three straight Most Valuable Player awards, tying Mike Boss for the most in league history. Sadly, the other MVP seasons ended in devastating one and done losses in the playoffs. His S21 season was one of the best QB seasons in NSFL history, with a 26 TDs/2 INTs touchdown to interception ratio, throwing the lowest INT% ever recorded. He also beat the NSFL passer rating record set by Childish Gambino with a 109.3 which may never be broken again. That’s certainly Armstrong’s most memorable statistical season. The other memorable statistical season was Armstrong running for 1001 yards, a record by a QB that may also never be broken. So all in all, Armstrong will most definitely be a HOF player, and I expect him to be a unanimous selection. He will join the ranks of some of the best Quarterbacks in NSFL history and will always be included in the conversation for the best ever.

The S22 Yellowknife Wraiths are a tale of resistance. This is simply one of the most resilient teams in NSFL history. Going into S22 they had lost the previous 4 straight Ultimus appearances. In S18 and S19 they had lost to the dreaded Orange County Otters while at home. They had also lost the next home Ultimus game in S20 to the new kids on the block, the Austin Copperheads. In S21, they lost an Ultimus road game against the New Orleans Second Line and this brings us to this season. They were led by Cooter Bigsby once again, the true leader of this team. In week 1, maybe suffering from the after effects of 4 straight Ultimus losses they lost the game to the Yeti. Final score of 34-12 as the whole team looked uninspired and sluggish. They then rattled off six straight wins. Week 2 was a dominating win against the newest expansion team, the Sarasota Sailfish. It ended up being a 44-3 final score as the Sailfish just didn’t have the personnel to stop this team. Next was the hapless Chicago Butchers who ended the season 1-12. They offered no resistance in Week 3. In Week four, they had another matchup with a bad team, this time the Baltimore Hawks who were missing their star Corvo Havran who set sail for Honolulu in the offseason. They Hawks put up a fight in a close 23-20 win but it was still a win. The Liberty lost 30-24, in another close game. The Hahalua lost 30-16 in the following week. They then faced the rebuilding Sabercats for another close 29-23 victory. They then matched up with their nemesis the Second Line and lost once again, 21-19. They then finished the regular season with 5 straight wins and a 11-2 record, best in the NSFL and ensuring another Ultimus home game if they made it that far. They beat the Yeti in the interconference remtach. They then blew out the Sailfish yet again, 34-7. Outscoring them 78-10 in the two games they played that season. They absolutely stomped on the worst team in the NSFL the Chicago Butchers 41-0. Pathetic. They then absolutely destroyed the terrible Hawks team 59-3. That’s absolutely absurd. That’s 134 points to 10 points given up in three games. They then closed off the season with another win against the Libery. With an 11-2 record, the Wraiths felt confident in their Ultimus chances. Unfortunately they choked it away, and lost 17-16 in the Conference championship to the eventual champions the Yeti.
