10. So next season L'Gazzy Burfict will be at his peak level in the league, having already maxed out mid way though this season. It's been a long journey for the Shubutan native but one which he wouldn't have changed for anything. Now you could argue that success came too soon for L'Gazzy, maybe that's why he just shrugs off the recent disappointments with the Outlaws. In his first season for the London Royals, L'Gazzy Burfict came away with an Ultimini ring. In his second season he came away with both the awards for linebacker of the year and defensive player of the year, as well as being an Ultimini runner up. L'Gazzy Burfict had arrived... in the DSFL at least.
The following season (season 26)Burfict moved into the Outlaws roster where he was LB3 behind two solid stalwarts in Wilf and Koniecpolski. They finished fourth in the league and didn't make post season. And Burfict, well he went without a sack all year. 11 paa deflections though, that was his sprinting youth coming through strong. And he kept pushing through the off-season and came away with much better numbers in season 27, the highlight being his eight sacks and solitary safety. So he was getting the hang of things. But the thing about the ISFL... It's pretty simple to be average, to go with the flow. You gotta put in that extra effort to become an elite player and that is what L'Gazzy Burfict wanted. Not just for himself, but for his team, his team mates, his family, the fans.
Season 28 saw the Outlaws finish top of the ASFC for the first time during Burficts time there and he had a big part to play with 14 sacks and 88 tackles. Moving in the right direction. This was the year when the linebacking core was at its strongest, so Burfict was being given more opportunities to pick up those stats, he knew that.
Season 29 followed a similar pattern. The Arizona Outlaws finished top of their division and would be eliminated from the playoffs in the ASFC championship game. But Burfict was now the main man within the linebacking core, and opposing teams knew that. If they wanted to score on the Outlaws then going through Burfict was not the best option. And when they tried... Well that's why he led the league in forced fumbles!
So then, season 30. Do the Arizona Outlaws dominate the ASFC, check. Are they favourites to bring home the Ultimus, check. Do they get knocked out in the championship game, no check. So the Outlaws finally made the Ultimus game, with their strongest team on paper during Burficts time in Arizona. But enough about the team and the inevitable shafting in the final. Burfict had his most rounded season so far. 95 tackles, six tackles for loss, only the four fumbles (one recovered), 15 sacks, an interception, a safety and eight pass deflections. Will he be in contention for linebacker of the year? Probably. But his old London teammate and mentor Juan Domine gets the vote all day long, what a player.
But the story is far from over, this is only the first chapter in Burficts career. Well, maybe the first few. But still, let's see what the next few seasons bring.

19. So I've always seen an opportunity for L'Gazzy Burfict to have a starring role in Always Sunny in Philadelphia. So maybe, Always Sunny in Arizona?
Dennis, played by Tayshawn Crunk. I couldn't see anyone better to play Dennis than Crunk, you know, because of the implications.
Charlie, played by L'Gazzy Burfict. Burfict isn't the sharpest tool, but he is very determined and a lover of Burfict work.
Frank, played by Tatsu Nakamura. Nakamura is the only one with the funds available to keep the rest of the team in shape, so it's perfect.
Mac, played by Deadly Memes. I look at his stats and think, is he a wide receiver, a running back... a tight end? I guess now we know he's a running back, and an elite one at that.
Cricket, played by Jay Cue Jr. Because he likes to hang out in the locker room and feel part of the gang. It's a love hate relationship because...
Dee, played by Jay Cue Sr. Dee ruined Crickets life, and Cue Sr. being such a legend of the game will make it tricky for Cue Jr. to make a name for himself.
So there you have it. Not sure it will run for 14 seasons but we should at least be able to squeeze a few out. Not suitable for work though, obviously.
