(S2) - PT #1 - Pre Season Hype

[Silver Fox]

I can only be most excited to go up against the Las Vegas Legion – the expansion team opposite our beloved Philly Liberty. While they may not be in our division, they’ve given us ample reason to want a little payback. Sure, I’d like to see the Wraiths sweat a little bit thanks to a certain pesky offensive lineman, but the Legion have been there with us since we began. Indeed, we could have begun with several more active players each if it weren’t for their uncaring approach to trades prior to the expansion draft. We had to work hard to negate that problem, putting a lot of time and effort into the trades leading up to the season 2 draft, and developing our ideal draft board; now it’s time to reap the seeds we’ve sown.

From expansion team inception, we have been teams at polar opposite ends of draft and football philosophy. Build for the future vs win now at any cost. Justice League vs Legion of Doom. Fitting then that our first preseason game is against the Legion, the very first time either team has taken the field in a professional setting. It is a clash that will echo again and again through the following seasons, and if I’ve done my job correctly, it is a clash that the Liberty will slowly start to win.
