Chicago took a huge step forward this year. Last season, they made the playoffs for the first time in a good while. It was a quick exit, but there was a lot of reason to be optimistic for the future. After losing Mario Von Pebbles to the expansion draft the following off-season, the team looked to the draft to fill key holes on defense. They got some really good parts for the future and were able to advance further end the playoffs the next season. It was a tough trip back from Colorado, but they were able to take the next step at the end of the day. I’m not sure what their plans are for the draft, but free agency has been locked up. They didn’t really have any holes on the team and were able to really bolster their offensive line. With the trenches showed up for Chicago but the wide receivers starting to age, All eyes will be on George O’Donnell to see if he can continue his growth at the quarterback position. I thought he played well last season, but there may be people that say he was a little uneven. I think having a little extra time in the pocket will work wonders for not just O’Donnell, but the offense as a whole. The ability to extend and sustain drives will keep the defense well rested. When I was traded to Chicago prior to S24, the plan was to take a step each season and have a good shot at the Ultimus within four years. This is year three for me, and through the first two years we have been on track. I think the playoff run will be a little deeper this season with Colorado getting older and a good portion of the conference still trying to find their way. In the AFC, it will be hard with Orange County still as good as ever and the repeat champions in San Jose. I think the Butchers can make the Ultimus this season but with SJS and OCO it may be a tough one to win. Those two teams are just too good. But let the record books show that Chicago came alive under the leadership of Bayley and Muford. It’s a prime destination for free agents. Draft prospects no longer hold out or are afraid to be drafted here. It’s a team with a great culture, a new tradition of winning and a fantastic opportunity to vie for the crown.

You’re gonna love this story or you are going to hate this story. But when it comes to scandals outside of tampering or draft manipulation, what tops CHOCCY MILK? Depending on your view of the world, you either view this as harmless fun or poisonous and toxic behavior that threatens the very existence of simulation sports leagues. I’ll up to my part in this. I’ve called Minnesota my discord home for the last nine months and during that time we’ve come up with many stunts and “shenanigans” to carry out. Usually this come about as a response to boredom. Sometimes the off-season but most of the time it’s on a Wednesday, Saturday, or Monday. You know, off-days. On this particular day we felt extra squirrely with each other. That's when meaningless arguments start to happen. We may start bickering over real life sports, music, movies, whether or not anime is a curse, trivial things like that. But on this fateful day, we engaged in one of our recurring debates; strawberry milk or chocolate milk? For the last few seasons, one of our locker room roles has been “Strawberry Milk Drinker.” But there was about to be a buck of the status quo. I was a little late to this, having popped in for one of the very first utterances of “CHOCCY MILK,” in all caps. That’s when the back-and-forth started. Eventually strawberry milk was drowned out by a success of wall of chanting for chocolate milk. The next step in this debacle was taking it to the general discord server. We quickly were told to stop and obliged. We then took it to different ISFL servers and some were kind enough to play along. But that wasn’t enough. The mistake of the century was taking it to the PBE general discord server. This resulted in bands, back-and-forth confrontations, and general grievances between members of the two leagues. When I reflect on what happened, I admit that what we did was childish. But the fact that it had such ramifications and repercussions and is still a bit of a sore spot is funny and away to me. Maybe it’s not so much the message but the method and action that’s the big take away here. Yes, it’s stupid to spam servers and potentially create a rift between two coexisting leagues. Even if it’s just expressing your love for chocolate-flavored milk. If my name was ever going to be forever attached to a controversy, I think this is a pretty good one. I don’t think I directly hurt anybody, and I hope that one day it’s as funny to the rest of the league as it is to me to look back on. Ever since that incident, we ask incoming prospects their preference for the two milks. It does not have an impact on whether or not will get along with them, but it’s a way to keep one of our more polarizing memories alive.
