"Cap'n" Billy Stinkwater be a big-play threat wit' exceptional hands, an explosive burst o' spead, 'n the size t' beat the jam at the line. He can overpower the defender or use a head fake t' create separation. In addition t' size 'n speed, Stinkwater runs a beautiful route. His cuts are crisp, plants are dynamic, 'n defensive reads impeccable. Zone or scallywag, no coverage can seem t' stop 'im. He can beat ye down the field or sit in the soft spot o' the defense wit' ease. He has a nose fer the ball 'n ain't afeared o' contact. He be willin' t' go o'er the middle 'n take the hits, but he has the finesse t' flawlessly execute a fade in the corner o' the endzone. He can read the ball in the air like few 'ave done afore 'im. Always aware o' the sideline, he always seems t' be in the perfect position t' utilize his exceptional body control t' get those extra few yards. He excels at yards aft the catch while fakin' would be tacklers or simply runnin' 'em o'er. He be fantastic in a supportin' role as well, deliverin' blocks downfield wit' ease. On the field, his skills are simply unmatched.
Howe'er, he sometimes has problems outside o' game day. He’s nah known fer his work ethic, 'n regularly gives more effort in practice. Still he be thar on game day, ready t' go. He gets frustrated easily when he feels ignored in the offense. That brutal downfield block might nah be thar if he only had one target in the first half. Sometimes he will belay that on plays if he doesn’t reckon the ball be comin' his way.
If he can improve his effort outside o' game days, Stinkwater be in fer a mighty solid career. Don’t be surprised when his award shelf starts fillin' up.

34. What are some of your player or your team's holiday traditions?
We love some flair durin' Christmas. We celebrate by goin' t' church, exchangin' gifts wit' family, 'n gatherin' fer a large meal. Grub on Christmas Day, the biggest feast o' the year, includes curry goat, rice, 'n gungo peas. Gungo peas usually ripen in December, jus' in time fer Christmas. Aft grub, we liven things up wit' a wee shanties. Wit' as many neighbors as we can gather, we travel from ship t' galleon t' serenade holiday gatherings. The next day, we celebrate Junkanoo on Boxin' Day where masked revelers sing, dance, 'n drum thar way through town streets in an exuberant parade.
It doesn’t stop wit' Christmas though. We also celebrate Three Kings’ Day on January 6. This day commemorates the comin' o' the Three Wise Scallywags. We use this opportunity t' take down the Christmas trees.
All told, the celebratin' usually lasts about one month, when everyone has t' go back t' work in mid-January. Thar are events occurrin' from November t' January, so thar’s always somethin' t' do.
