(S21) - Ultimus Week

[Mooty99]

6) Next Year

So the Copperhead didn't win this year too bad I guess but on the upside there is always next year. Now you ask me why do I believe the Austin can win next year I believe because we had a cracking good team firstly you have an exceptional quarterback in Eastern coal who will be at his absolute prime come next season we have a superb wide receiving Corps and not to mention one of the top running backs in the game we have seen our rivals lose stars I have also taken hits especially on defense however are bullet strong offence should still be rolling and that is what the matter comes season 22 now we will have to pick up some exceptional players in the draught however this draught class that should be very easy we have the number one pick and we already know who we are going to bring in and this person when you see them you will know they are a game changer with the rest of our pics we can fill out our side and and with a little bit of SIM luck the copperheads will be the Champions in season 22, lets go Austin.

9) Dynasty

Austin already got something of a Dynasty in the fact that we were able to win the ultimate within the first 5 years of our Inception when you compare this to the other expansion team Chicago who started the same time as Austin it really shows the Stark contrast and puts forward how often are building their Dynasty now Austin Dynasty built on an exceptional locker room culture on an eye for identifying and developing Talent and then using this tablet not just on the field but developed through to become future GM war remembers if not one but two gms went down right now that would be replacement within the Austin locker room. Often have managed to make the playoffs for the last 4 years and with our current roster should be able to continue this trend for the next four years plans are also in place so there will be a seamless quarterback transition and hopefully Austin can just keep rolling. No if you don't believe me the Austin already the next big Dynasty of the NFL then come and find me what is the wager on it and I'm sure I will learn myself a good amount of money in the next few years picking Austin to win as often as possible.

17) Sponsorship

As you can imagine maker Mendonca is one of the greatest running backs currently playing football with that add companies all over him to try and get him in the ultimate half-time ad he had to turn down a huge number of different companies but when one particular one came calling he just couldn't resist when I say couldn't resist I really mean he can resist the great big paycheck that he got for being in this commercial now what you may ask was this commercial for was it for fast cars was it for expensive alcohol or posh watches knows none of these things this advertisement was for cereal but not just any cereal we are talking about a brand new type of cereal called mak-Os. Make-Os are delicious wholemeal circular cereal that is great for both kids and adults these little round cereals are covered in delicious honey and in the advert Mako refuses to give up his cereal to a swarm of bees and it's probably chased across a football field while all the time trying to eat his precious cereal. At the end of the ad add you see a Mako covered in sting but still clutching his precious bowl of cereal give us a big grin and a thumbs up up and then chows down.

WC 220


18) Award Season

There are so many of my wonderful teammates that deserve to win Awards at the end of this season it is really difficult to pick just one of them so therefore I will argue for a number of different players to win awards from Austin. The first player who I believe deserves an award is Kyle Idlewild now Kyle really should get the defensive Lineman of the Year award he has a tax to less than the highest the next highest defensive Lineman however he does have 15 tackles for loss which is astonishing number and almost twice as many is his next nearest rival who has a similar sack record. The next person in Austin I believe should win an award is net games now I'll isn't going to win the white receiver of the Year award you should certainly with the breakout Player of the Year award they're going to come on leaps and bounds this year and has recorded his first ever 1000 + yard season he also got five touchdowns and the longest catch 44 yards. The last person from Austin I'd like to see you're not win an award is a wonderful and very undervalued safety Okura. Okura has been a very sneaky good player this year one not that many people have noticed I certainly have what playing three safety he has a mast three forced fumbles more than anyone else he's also got 5 sacks 3 interceptions 3 pass deflections one touchdown and 66 tackles one of these stats stand out by themselves combining together show what an excellent season he has had.

1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Written: Give a short write up of one or multiple playoff matches. If completed before the airing of the sims, give your predictions; if it is afterwards, give a review of the game.

The Ultimus and The Ultimini are the pinnacle of NSFL and DSFL football respectively. Unknown to most, this year the two final games suffered the Annastesia Curse. It is a curse that makes the team Nuniq Annastesia wants to win to reach the final, as can be seen by his accurate playoff predictions, but then pick the wrong teams.

As a KCC Coyotes player, Nuniq wanted them to beat the Buccaneers, as is to be expected of 99% of the players in the world. Alas, it was not going to be as the Annastesia Curse is almost never overcome, and the Coyotes would lose against the Buccaneers.

Nuniq comes from the northernmost town of Alaska, Utkiagvik (known as Barrow in the past), so his favorite NSFL team is Yellow Knife Wraiths. They were playing the Ultimus for the 4th consecutive time, and many expected them to win. Alas, the Wraith Curse and the Annastesia Curse did not cancel each other this time, as could have happened, but they worked together to make the Wraiths lose yet again.

But anyway, to both teams, reaching a final is something to be happy about, it shows great play all season. It only means the last step was shorter than needed. But at least both teams did reach the finals, and should be proud of their accomplishment.

17) Sponsorships
Written: You’ve been contacted to appear in a company’s ad airing during the Ultimus. What is the ad about?

The ad starts with blindingly white light. Low Mongolian throat music can be heard in the background, along with the noise of something going thump, thump, thump... accompanied by effort grunts. As the brightness of the light turns down, one can begin to see the white light comes from a snowy region of Alaska. There is a blizzard going in. In the middle of the Blizzard stands, defiantly, a Robert-Bosch Fridge. It is difficult to see what is going thump thump thump against it. Charging the fridge, which remains unmoving, unaltered both by blizzard and by whomever is tackling the fridge.

The Mongolian Throat music grows slowly in volume as the add progresses, just opposite to the white light, that grows dimmer as the add progresses.

More or less at half part of the ad you can see that the one going thump thump thump against the fridge is a Football player, dressed in purple. Someone from the Ravens, the Vikings? You can't see clearly... as the light becomes perfect, you see it is from the favourite DSFL team, The KCC Coyotes! The player is number 99, Nuniq Annastesia. He takes some steps back, and charges yet again. The fridge remains undented, unfaced. Standing proudly against the weather and the human.

A voice in off, the coach, says "Remember, Nuniq, fridge doors open outwards!"

Nuniq stops, and opens the door. The content inside, quite a few bottles of Molson beer, are intact. He picks two. One he throws towards the camera, the narrator. A hand catches it.

"To make sure you can rely 100% on our freezers in everyday use, we test them in the toughest conditions. And only if the freezer works perfectly here is it ready for you to use in your homes"

19) Team Culture
Written: What is it about your team’s culture and/or locker room that makes you happy to be there? If there are any problems, what do you think should be done to improve them?

sports reporter: "So tell us, Nuniq, you stand here ready to play in the Ultimini with your team, the the Kansas City Coyotes. To get here, your team won the DSFL NFC North with a 9-5 result. Which is a great improvement on last years 5-9 result. Then you beat the Python in the semi finals. What is the secret of the Coyotes? What has made this quick turnaround possible?"

Nuniq Annastesia: "Well, the secret is hard work. The team has worked really really hard. You may say that all teams do, and it is true. But in our case, we have a wonderful locker room completely drama free. We support each other."

sports reporter: "But that can't be that perfect. There is always a dark side. What is the dark side of the Kansas City Coyotes locker room?"

Nuniq Annastesia: "It has a very dark side, indeed. Darker than the mouth of a polar bear in a starless night during the polar night, where the sun has descended and will not rise again for several weeks. A secret more frightening than thinking you are seeing a playful coyote come towards you in the snow, when it actually is Keelut, an Evil Earth spirit with the appearance of a dog... That dark secret is shared by all of us in the Kansas City Coyotes locker room. And it is that we are afraid, we are very very afraid that our next team's locker room won't be as cool!"

20) Nostalgia
Written: What is your happiest memory in this league?

There are many happy memories this season. It is very difficult to choose one.

The first game I played, week 3 against the Pythons at their home. I only managed one tackle, against Nakamura, who I think is the person I have tackled the most this league, mainly because his routes took him to me... but it was great to be playing professional football at last. After not playing in the pre-season, and increasing my effort to be better, then not playing in game 1 and 2, and training even harder, the reward came: being there in the gridiron, with your band of brothers, doing your best to stop the opposing Offensive Linemen and attackers of the other team.

Another happy memory was the April Fool's Day best defender of the Kansas City Coyote prize, for my play in game 12 in London against the Royals. I'm almost positive that it surely must have started as a fool's day practical joke, as even if that was my best game, and I was probably the most productive DL member, the guys in the secondary were stellar, as usual. It just happens that no one could face breaking my heart by telling me it was a joke, so I got that prize.

And last but not least, playing in the Ultimini, even if we lost. That is what all DSFL players dream, playing there, and only a few can achieve! It is a dream come true, an experience to keep in our hearts and minds forever.

1) Playoff Reviews
The ASFC’s conference championship featured two of the winningest teams in the NSFL this season – the 9-4-0 New Orleans Second Line and the league-leading 10-3-0 Orange County Otters. The Otters had come off of a 26-7 demolishing of a hapless 4-9-0 SaberCats team following a strong 20/34, 249 yard passing performance from Armstrong and a fantastic 121-yard receiving game from Blaze – but that’d be a far cry from their performance in the conference championship.

The game started with an inconsequential 4-play drive by New Orleans followed by a short punt; Armstrong’s first snap resulted in an all-too-unpleasant sack by Bjorn Ironside, which would really set the tone for the game. Although Armstrong rallied the Otters to a field goal on the drive following 16-and 33-yard passes, he’d have a limited impact thereafter. New Orleans responded with a clean touchdown via the Jones-Francisco connection, and a few short drives later managed a second touchdown – this time by way of Podolak.

The teams went into the fourth quarter with the Second Line leading 17-10, but Armstrong – who finished the day with a measly 16/40 for 196 yards – ran it in for a second touchdown with 11:37 remaining. A Marcella Toriki run brought New Orleans up a touchdown once more before a clutch two-minute drill by the Otters tied the game up at 24. Overtime was punctuated by a long kickoff return by Taylor (37 yds) and a 23-yard pass from Francisco to Dream that eventually resulted in a 46-yard field goal – which simply couldn’t be answered by the Otters after a huge six-yard sack by Mason Blaylock.

4) OL or K/P Appreciation

I’d be remiss to skip speaking about Givussafare Rubbe, offensive tackle for the New Orleans Second Line and eventual Ultimus Trophy winner. He pushes the limits of human strength (no literally he has 100 strength), has essentially unparalleled pass and run blocking skills, lateral agility, and awareness that embodies the ideals of offensive line play. His skills were on obvious display from the first matchup of the playoffs, where he notched four pancakes without giving up a single sack – second only to Ofyourlove at the time; more importantly, because of his play on the blind side he limited the 7-6-0 Copperheads to just one sack along with the rest of his unit.

Although the Otters are overall a more talented opponent than the Copperheads – they did finish 10-3-0 after all – Rubbe had an even more impressive performance in the conference finals. The line was obviously tested more thoroughly against the Otters, as they allowed a total of four sacks (only one of which was actually credited as a sack allowed) but Rubbe tallied 8 pancakes against a defensive line just unable to get a grip on the offensive scheme. The running game was overall slightly more successful for the Copperheads, but perhaps more impressively, Francisco was able to keep calm and collected (22-38, 316 yards) in spite of facing a ravenous pass rush.

Remember how Rubbe’s performance improved from quarters to semi-finals? Well, he became even more impressive with the Ultimus Trophy game: he tallied eleven pancakes against the Wraiths’ defensive line and linebackers as Francisco finished the game with a 107.2 QB rating and both of the team’s rushers managed >100 yards at a clip >4 ypc. The opposing defense managed just one sack all game and two tackles for a loss – showing how important the O-line play was for the Second Line.

16) Scouting Report

Quanter Skrills, RB
College: University of Tennessee

High Points
Breakaway Speed – The best friend of any running back coming out of college, Quanter Skrills has speed almost in excess (if that even makes sense) that’s allowed him to burn even the quickest of defensive ends and outpace even some of the speediest defensive backs at the collegiate level. It gives him excellent receiving prospects – as separation is one of the best qualities a receiver can have – and made him exceptionally good against heavier defenses.
Cuts & Jukes – Though not as defining as the breakaway speed, Skrills’s ability to make the right cut at the right time occasionally gives him the ability to break through first contact, even if his strength is not ideal for his position. He’s overall a straight-line runner with speed that gives him excellent breakaway/release from the line or in open space; this is just icing on the top.

Needs To Be Improved
Blocking – Though likely to be used only in pass protection on occasion provided his blazing speed, Skrills could use some help refining his pass-blocking technique. Cut and chop blocks aren’t within his repertoire, and he rarely gives his quarterback anything more than a tenth of a second delay from a speedy linebacker or powerful defensive tackle.
Overall Awareness – Sometimes misses easy gaps in the line created by pass protection. Clearly has an idea of where to run if there’s plenty of daylight but may miss transient gaps that occasionally limit playmaking ability.

17) Sponsorships

The theme of my ad would be the NSFL’s increasing global reach. Though the league is clearly an American one, over time the influence of the league has extended to many European countries, one of which would include my player (pseudonym Tycker Om). A relative unknown, the advertisement wouldn’t be featuring Om as a star – no, in fact, he’d be one of the many faces in a multi-shot montage of players from all countries across the world for a European conglomerate minor league. The ad would be as much for the casual fan in the European Union – who would otherwise have no representation during the Ultimus – as it would be for prospective GMs that wanted to send a scout or two out to Europe to look at the talent.

“Rising up across the globe” and “take a chance” would be two phrases flashed across the advertisement, then a stream or montage of players from Scandinavia, and western, central, and eastern Europe in less flashy-looking leagues or as part of their collegiate squads (in the States or Europe). It might show a couple of highlights – including maybe a hustle play by Om to force a tackle for loss or forcing a tipped pass that results in an interception – but no significant amount of time would be spent on any particular player.

7. Robbed
Written Option:
I'd say that my team, the London Royals were robbed from the playoffs this season. Why? It's simple. We had the best defensive player in the DSFL on our team this year, Derred de Ville, and arguably the best offensive player, Acura Skyline, as well. They carried our team to several blowouts this year. Not only that, but we had Colby Jack, who was the 2nd overall pick in last year's draft, and is the best QB in the league by far. We also had Quinn Hughes, the best Safety in the DSFL, and me, Cadillac Harris, the best Cornerback in the DSFL. We were a pairing similar to that of Vander Jones and Walt Green on the San Antonio Marshals in Season 14. And, even further than that, we had Sandro Ryeu, who was a dominant Defensive End this year, and a dynamic WR pairing in Nick Kaepercolin and Susan Cash Jr. By now, you should be asking yourself: "How did this stacked team not make the playoffs and win the Ultimini this season?" Well, my friend, your guess is as good as mine. All I can say for sure is that the Royals are going for it all next season. We'll crush the regular season, dominate the playoffs, and secure that god damn trophy. You can quote me on that.

8. Revenge
Written Option:
The team that I'd like to get revenge on the most are the Dallas Birddogs. I'm a player for the London Royals, and as most people in the league know, both of our teams were the latest ones to join the league in the most recent expansion. So, solely based on that, it's clear that we're going to be rivals, one way or another. Even more, both of our team's QB was picked in direct succession to theirs, and they're brothers. As his teammates, it's our responsibility to try and make that a point that his brother can't argue about in whatever sibling rivalry that they have. And the only way that we can do that is by beating his team soundly every time we play them. That team happens to be the Birddogs. So, that's another point as to why I want to beat them. We succeeded in blowing them out in our first matchup of the season, which became a big part of our trash talk against them. Later on, in our second meeting of the season, they were able to repay the favor. This did not go over well with me, and I want to make sure that we're able to make a statement by gaining the upper hand in the rivalry once again next season, whether I'm still on the Royals or on an NSFL team.

19. Team Culture
Written Option:
To me, there are a variety of things that determine how good a team's culture is. And no, it has nothing to do with how well they perform in the regular season or the playoffs. It mostly has to do with how good their locker room is. A good locker room, to me, has to be generally light-hearted and friendly, with almost no arguments between teammates or guests. It also has to have Pokecord. Pokecord is an essential part of every locker room. The sudden rush of serotonin that you get when you catch a legendary or a shiny, coupled with the frustration displayed by your teammates when you flex on them with said rare pokemon is a feeling that everyone loves. It's just essential in keeping a good locker room together. The locker room also has to be active. This is by far the most important part. An active locker room is great because it serves as a good retreat from the stupidity that is NSFL general. Rookie chat is just an utter disaster. I hate rookie chat. A good example of a locker room that epitomizes what a locker room that positively represents it's team culture should look like is the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers locker room. They're active, they're light-hearted and friendly (with the exception of Frostbite), and most importantly, they have Pokecord. I'd say they're the second best locker room in this league, second only to the Royals locker room. The Royals are just the best at everything, so it's no shade to them. In conclusion, team culture is heavily defined by how good your locker room is.

Ultimus Pass

[BenDover]

This season of the developmental Simulation Football league was filled with twists and turns, and teams climbing and stumbling up and down the power rankings, as this season of the developmental Simulation Football league, was at least, the most craziest yet, where every team, including 2 new expansion franchises, had a claim to make why they should be the team who should hoist up the Ultimini, and there were two teams who in the end, are the two teams who have Rose up to the challenge. The first team up from the south, is the Myrtle beach buccaneers, who are looking for revenge after getting slaughtered by the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the Ultimini last season. And then there are the northern team, the Kansas City Coyotes, who were bounced out of the playoffs by the aforementioned Minnesota Grey Ducks, and led by likely league mvp, Chika Fujiwara. The Ultimini was once again, a massacre, Chika Fujiwara did not have any answers for the Myrtle beach defense, as they shut her offense down to only 10 points, while the combo of Chris Ramos and Mr.Irrelevant Tom Sofa proved to be too powerful for the Kansas City secondary, as that was the key for a Myrtle beach victory, 27-10.


6. Unfortunately, despite putting up a decent 6 and 8 record, the Minnesota Grey Ducks ended up missing the developmental Simulation Football league playoffs by 2 games to their rival, the Portland Pythons. The grey Ducks were coming off two straight ultimini wins, the first against Tijuana, the second against Myrtle beach. With the transition season from Woelkers to Dewalt completed, some changes will be needed to make the grey Ducks an Ultimini contender once again, and attempt to reestablish themselves as a developmental Simulation Football league dynasty. It’s not going to be easy, but the first step is to make sure that most of your young, elite talent will be sent back down to the developmental Simulation Football league for another season, because the more send downs you have, the more likely you’ll come out of the season with the Ultimini in your hands. The next step is to reestablish the team culture, during the team’s infamous deep losing streak, when they can’t seem to win the second game, pessimism dominated the locker room after those ill fated games, a winning culture eliminates the pessimism and turns it into inspiration and pride for your franchise. With simply those two steps, you’re one step closer to become a DSFL juggernaut.

8. After my first season in the DSFL, there is only one team that I wish I could exact revenge on. That team was the new expansion team, the London Royals. This started in a Week 6 game, where despite Minnesota's potent Rushing Offense holding strong throughout the game, the offense could not get anything going in the fourth quarter. On the royal side of the ball, they were fueled with long rushing attacks by their two backs, Accura Skyline and Jacoby Batista, both getting 65+ yard runs for touchdowns. Acura's, of course, came in the last minutes of overtime, where the Grey Ducks defense was obviously tired from playing for so long into overtime. The second matchup in week 13 proved to be the dagger in the two-time reigning Ultimini champion, as it was a blowout against the Royals, even with the Ducks having a high chance of winning. This was fueled by another game of potent rushing attacks, as DSFL rushing leader Acura Skyline ran for 145 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown, which was all too similar to the previous matchup. Despite Jamar Lackson's career-high rushing of his own, it was not enough to stop the Royals from knocking the /grey Ducks out of Playoff contention.

19. Team Culture is very important for me as a player, and the Grey Ducks locker room is one of the reasons that I remain active, as opposed to my former player, Ronald Watkins. This starts with the team captains of the locker room, Mo "Mamba" Magic, and Lawrence Bass,(This is who I see talking the most as a captain) both of which are on the defensive side of the ball, but it does help to know that we do have great active players on the defense, so I can get my carries and get the offense moving to win the game. Team culture is very important because it helps to set the mentality for the team, with everyone talking and being active, it translates to our play on the field, and while our record didn't say it this year, we are definitely ready to work together again, with some new additions to the team and push for our 3rd Ultimini in three years. But all of the work can't just come from the Team captains, it has to come from the players too, like Sim Snowbow, now starting Qb who is super active and friendly, and when some are active, it leads to others being active, which establishes the team locker room atmosphere that is needed to be successful in the future.

1) SHL Affiliate Point Task

2) Dynasty

The New Orleans Second Line will certainly be the next NSFL dynasty team. First step in being a dynasty is to actually win a title in the first place. In case you may have been living under a rock, New Orleans accomplished this herculean task this very year so the first win in a repeat or three-peat has already happened.

And as I understand it, this represented a bit of a rise from the ashes of mediocrity. That’s another important step as the GMs will certainly be challenged to maintain excellence. If they walked into a successful program, there is no guarantee that they can maintain it, but since they are the ones to build the team that won it all, we all can be sure that they know what it takes to make a team work on the field.

@jusosu may be stepping down, but she will still be around to help out and @TomHanks was vitally instrumental in building the team in any case so that part is covered as well. He will be able to step in seemlessly and get the job done. And with @IsaStarcrossed stepping in, we have a real winner going forward.

Finally, the team has a super strong core. And that core is going to stick around because the New Orleans discord LR is absolutely lit.

Yes, Second Line – new NSFL dynasty!

3) Sponsorships

With the Ultimus now decided and the New Orleans Second Line crowned as NSFL champions, you have certainly already seen the ad starring Second Line’s very own star WR2 Jed Podolak. The ad, of course, is for Gorilla Glue. The company thought the relationship with Jed Podolak was a natural due to his incredible talent for hanging on to the ball as if it were attached to his hands with super adhesive Gorilla Glue.

The ad featured a montage of Jed going up for difficult catches and either snagging them seemingly right on his fingertips as if they were smeared with Gorilla Glue or holding on even though he absorbed a rib crunching hit from an aggressive safety or cornerback.

The tag line was, “Gorilla Glue, keeps things stuck together like a football and Jed Podolak’s hand’.

The ad has been very popular being written up in ad magazines, placing very hightly in numerous contests for “best commercial of the Ultimus” across various internet site platforms. Gorilla Glue’s company have also seen a sharp spike in sales as a result of the ad, so it has been successful in the only way that really means anything to a business – it helped sell product and increase profits.

4) Nostalgia

I have had many happy memories in my short time here in the NSFL (S19), but probably my happiest one was at the beginning of this season when GM @TomHanks reached out to me to see if I would perhaps help out the Second Line before I rode off into the league’s sunset.

Here is the deal. I am in multiple sim leagues and as everyone knows, really enjoying a league takes some time. It is hard to get everything done and also spend any time with teammates and GMs in the LR, let alone keep all the various league story lines straight in your head.

I had been a minors GM in the PBE for about 3 years when the opportunity came up to apply for an expansion team in the majors. A chance joke about the whole thing got me wondering if I ought to consider it. I did, applied, and got the position. Now GMing takes up a lot more time than just being a player and being an expansion GM is even more work at the beginning.

So, I began paring down the leagues I was in. Tom took the news well and just asked if I could get my Speed maxed before leaving – just a sim or two away. I agreed and he was so grateful. Then I thought maybe I could do a few other easy tasks for TPE before leaving. Again, such thanks I got. Then I figured, why not just keep up on a few ongoing? Tom and the team were fine with that which really drew me in more. So, I just kept going and now I’m writing for an UW PT.

All because Tom reached out in such a friendly and no-pressure way. Thanks Tom! Glad we got to win the championship together!

4) OL or K/P Appreciation
The person that I would like to appreciate is the kicker/punter for Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, Kal Solarin! As a rookie he had an outstanding year, setting a new personal best for longest field goal at 54 yards, second longest this season. Was perfect from within 20, was okay from 20s, very good from 30 yards out, amazing from the 40s, and lights out in his only one from over 50! Has a huge range and nearly made all of his extra points and field goals as a rookie. I believe that with a year under his belt, some more TPE, being on the reigning champions, and the addition of new active players, Kal Solarin will have a close to or even better season in this upcoming one. He will continue to dominate the football through the air and the through the up rights! Way to go @Kalakar, laces out!

I know that this was for Offensive Line or Kicker/Punters, but I hope to be in someone's appreciation post, because I think it is pretty cool. Glad I was able to write about someone in the league that has done awesome, and it was their first season!


11) Rivalry
So first off, I just joined the league and got picked up by Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, woo go me and team on winning the big dance! I have not been formally informed on what our rival is but I got the feeling that it is Norfolk Seawolves. The reason I say this is because I have seen in the locker room (Discord) talk about how we do not like them and were not too excited to have to play them in the playoffs. Another example as too why I believe that they are the Buccaneers rival is that I just happened to be on the team for April Fools this year and they changed our Discord profile picture to their picture and renamed some of the stuff to their name.

So, I have been trying to think of what may make the Norfolk Seapups the rivals for the mighty Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, is that maybe they both are water bound? Maybe only one type of pirate can be on the seas at once, even if one is below the water and the other rules above. Maybe its league wise with one team dominating another for many seasons? All I know is it looks like a rivalry and hopefully it remains healthy and both teams push each other to succeed!


12) Pay It Forward
The one person I would like to pay it forward too, and that I think as a friend would be @jeffie43! He is the one that recruited me and then let his GM know I wanted to join their team, to help them succeed and I heard it was a great Locker Room (Discord). It also helps that they were a great team in the DSFL and dominated their way to a championship. I think of him as a friend, even though he bashed my first attempt at a sig, but have talked to him a lot. We play together on the same team in SHL for the Detroit Falcons, and have got to know each other, when we didn't know either existed prior. We have even talked about playing games together, and he was streaming one day, I only popped in for a literal second because I had to go, but next time will hang out for sure.

I am glad that I have got to meet and talk with @jeffie43, and hope that we will continue to chat with each other when we are no longer on each other's team! Otherwise I wish him the best with his future on his teams that don’t include me, just don’t beat my team too bad lol!
