28 – After an entire season with the new sim, I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it. It looks more aesthetically pleasing and without knowing how the sim works, teams couldn’t really develop a meta strategy out of the gate so in theory everyone was on even playing ground. Archetypes and traits were interesting, but I’m not sure how I feel about their execution. Using Tree’s build for example, I shifted myself towards a more receiver styled tight end and even bought the trait to make myself a more effective receiver who would get open more often, and I just seldom saw the results. I felt like it made me more invisible out there, and being honest that fucking sucks. I know tight ends were a bit wonky in the old sim but there was a way to make them consistently work, but with this, I’m not sure. I’m sure with another season to work out the kinks we’ll see more teams discovering whatever the meta is and how we’ll be able to make every position stand the same, but I’m a little suspicious going into the next season. Call me a skeptic, but I don’t see anything from the sim just yet to warrant me being excited to tune in each week to watch myself get 3 catches for 17 yards.

18 – The Chicago Butcher sitcom would be the best sitcom to ever grace the league, just because of the eclectic personalities that are gathered on the team. The plot would be a three way love triangle between Tree, Butters, and Bayley. Tree and Bayley would be in love with each other over their love of Taylor Swift, while Tree and Butters are in love over their attraction to Josh Allen (Praise be). After that we’d have the thing that any sitcom needs to be considered a classic; countless background characters that exist only for humor that get meme’d to death on Twitter within two months. We’d have the eye candy in Muford, we’d have the comic relief neighbor CC who’s reoccurring joke is him crashing his bike into a variety of different locations around the neighborhood wherever the episode is taking place, Starboy would also be there to make fun of Butters, and we’ll round off this cast with Frost because frost sux lmap. Obviously this wouldn’t be family friendly because of the excessive alleged murder with Tree being around, and the Josh Allen dynamic gets scarily cult like at times, but it would be some good fun. I doubt Fox would pick us up but ABC definitely would, they’re desperate for content these days.

21 – Lets talk branding. This league has some pretty fire logos and uniforms out there and it makes the league that much better. I would say the two best uniforms in the league in my opinion belong to the San Jose Sabercats and the Chicago Butchers. Derpcat has entrenched itself in the lore of the league, giving rise to countless memes and similar, and besides that its just a simple and slick looking logo. Bias aside, the Butchers logo works really well in the same vein. It doesn’t try to do too much which can be greatly appreciated, as logos that are too loud distract from the on field product and just look tacky. As for rebrands, I’m going to go with two teams as well to keep it consistent. First team in question is the Secondline. It’s for a little bit of a petty reason, but I dislike purple (mostly because I’m colorblind and purple just looks like blue) and while I appreciate the effort they put in with the jazz players on the logo, it just feels out of place. The other team is the Baltimore Hawks. While yes less is more in almost every case, the Hawk here just feels really boring and simple. It’s not the worst in the league but its largely forgettable which is why I think it could be updated.
