Yes, yes, I know you all have missed me. Settle down please, stop crying, and stop holding your children up towards your computer screens; you're embarrassing yourself. Anyways, I have tried 2 times before to write this Press-Conference successfully but I just haven't been able to push myself to do it. Third time is the charm and I'm ready now. Like I promised I will also be reviewing the issue of the Baltimore Hawks while also speaking about another team. I also plan to give a special shout-out to a particular player who has impressed me. This player has NO CLUE I'm giving this to him but I watch people even when they aren't looking; though I don't go around PT stalking like I've heard some of the Wraith members did and got away with bending the rules a bit. I digress, ..... but I really don't know how to so lets get on with the Press-Conference shall we! Wait..., maybe I could say something like "I'm the Best Linebacker in the league and don't freaking forget it...". Nah, you guys already know that. Moving on!
Harrif Ernston - (H)
Reporter - (R#)
Special Reporter - (SR#)
Cameraman - (C#)
*Multiple people talking in the conference room*
R3 - "Are the lights ready?"
C3 - "Yes boss."
R2 - "We are all set right? Right?..... What the hell, where did my Cameraman go?"
*On the other-side of the room*
C2 - "It just doesn't make sense Bill, I mean seriously... Africa. He really expects us to believe he went to train in Africa?"
C1 - "That's what he said Tom."
C2 - "With freakin' Lions and Tigers??!?!"
C3 - "Actually, Tigers can not be found in the wild on the continent of Africa."
C2 - "Where did you come from?
R2 - *From across the room* "HEY TOM! Get the heck over here!"
C2 - "Alright, alright! I'm coming. Hey, talk to you after Bill?"
C1 - "You know it."
*Harrif Ernston walks into the Conference room*
*A hush falls over the crown*
H - "Hey, everyone I'm back. Yeah, believe it or not but I went to training in Africa...."
C2 - *under his breath* "Oh brother..."
R2 - "Shhh... shut up."
H - "And I have learnt a lot during my time there. It was a really nice experience for me and I feel that it has helped elevate my play. I really think I'll start seeing the fruits of my labor this week though. I've adjusted a lot since week 7/8 and during the bye week. I'm ready to rock! So, now I'll take some potential question. Oh, and try to keep it off the topic of my trip, I've already talked about that."
R1 - "I actually have two questions if you could answer both for me. The first one is what do you think about Ryan Flock's overall performance this season?"
H - "Ryan who?"
R1 - "Ryan Flock."
H - "Who now?"
C2 - *underbreath* "Is this man stuipid...?"
R1 - "Ryan Flock, Outlaws Strong Safety, Number 20, 215 Pounds....?"
H - "Wait, he stands behind me in the defensive formations, right?"
R1 - "Of course..."
H - "Then I don't see him, and I don't often hear ,"Such and such got a 20 yard pass", so I believe he is doing his job. What I can tell you I do see though, is when balls are thrown deep and I hear INTERCEPTION. I also, ... hate to admit it, but the guy is able to hold more football knowledge than me. He knows alignments, he can audible plays, he even sets me up sometimes. He is an elite player and are lucky to have him."
R1 - "Next question, your personal performance in the Outlaws game at @ Baltimore was impressive but your team couldn't pull out the win. Could you elaborate?"
H - "I have two things to say about this. First, penalties. Penalties, penalties, penalties. I believe it was 12 penalties for 96 yards. That is WAY TOO MUCH. If we want to win games, that just can not be allowed to happen. We couldn't get a drive really going but our defense didn't help by forcing our offense to drive down 80 yards of field almost every time. We just have to play better."
H - "On to my second part, we WILL play better in the upcoming match against the Baltimore Hawks. I already told everyone to quote me. The Arizona Outlaws
will NOT lose another game. I will make sure of it. The Hawks better enjoy their 5 minutes of fame because they won't get another win on us for the rest of S2. Next question"
SR1 - "My question to you Harrif Ernston is, which offensive linemen do you love to knock on their back the most?"
*giggles from the reporters and cameramen*
H - "Is that you Allen Davis? Man, you ask the strangest question. Don't worry, I'll entertain this."
H - "Personally, I don't really pat the backs of Offensive Lineman, simply because I don't usually go against them. The Outlaws
run a 4-3 so all I usually have to do is go around a tackle or go between the space between a tackle and a guard. I don't really match-up vs Offensive Linemen much. Still, I do remember one time I made fun of the Otters O-Line last season. I actually have the record for the most sacks by an Arizona Outlaws
player in a single game (4 Sacks vs Otters in Week 12 of S1). I said some BS to Angus even though I wasn't really going against him; I was on the other side of the line.
It was something like.....
*After 4th Sack*
Harrif: Dang, this is getting easy. I thought this was the best O-Line, with the best Offensive Tackle in the league; I guess I was mistaken.
Angus: Why don't you try to do that s*** on this side? Not good enough to be the Weakside LB?
Harrif: Don't tempt me.
.....That was really the extent of that."
H - " The guys I do love to pat on the backs and mess with are our D-Lineman. Jayce HATES it because he's always so focused on his plan for every snap, and doing that startles him. I love to encourage rookies so I always try and put Godfrey King in a good alignment and keep his spirits up. He's really progressing and I believe he has a bright future. Arbin can be really REALLY good in this league and I usually let him try things out on his own but he can get out of his technique, which Bronko (surprisingly enough) can notice and has me tell him to focus on the little things. Dental Dam is my man! I usually find myself lined up somewhere behind him a lot of the time so we are usually talking about little "gives" the Linemen we are facing show. Once, both of us can get in-sync and expose O-Linemen weaknesses the pass pressures just start rolling in."
R2 - "King Bronko did not have a fantastic game versus the Baltimore Hawks in Week 8, he collected a 26.8 passer rating... 0Tds, 3 INts? The defense can only play so well right? What do you think?"
H - "Obviously, he can't have games like that but we can all just hang it up on one player. Where was our field position? Where was the run game? The penalties I've already talked about. Wide Receiver drops? It wasn't just a bad game for Bronko."
C2 - *Quickly* "Yeah, it was a trash one."
H - "Moving on."
R3 - "Is an impending Quarterback battle a possibility for the Arizona Outlaws? How will your defense adapt to face the Hawks in Week 10?"
H - "Let me further entertain this. First of all I want to give a special shoutout to an Outlaws player; that player is Mark Strike @OwlStrike13. You know, if I was a back-up QB in the NSFL I would be bored as heck. I think I would be extremely bored on a team as good as the Arizona Outlaws, but the fact that my boy Strike is keeping up with TPE, and even interacting with us when he can. I love it. This guy could totally be the franchise QB for a team which need a new @adam2552 QB
for the upcoming season. A team like.... Liberty (Please Adam, don't let LV ruin him, please draft this guy and replace Jameis). Mark has even performed nicely in the chances we have given him during live games. Still, he isn't our QB1, Bronko is and that's final until our FO says otherwise."
H - "We'll play better and stop whatever that got going in the first game. We'll hit their QB and stop their Rookie RB."
R4 - "I could go in a multitude of paths and try to break-down your arguments in so many ways but I think I'll just focus on one thing you said after the Week 8 game specifically. It is on record that you said
... so.... the Outlaws
will not lose another game."
H - "Exactly, we are ready to take the Leagu...."
R4 - "Have you heard about the recent trades? How the Wraiths are going all in for the Season 2 Ultimus?"
H - "It wouldn't be fun if they didn't... anyways...."
R4 - "You fail to understand the magnitude of these trades Mr. Ernston. The Wraiths aquired Coverage LB AC Hackett..."
H - "So what..."
R4 - "Then they traded away Smallwood..."
*Harrif's eyes widen*
R4 - "They have acquired Bailey Cook."
*A Gasp then a hush falls over the crowd in the room, it goes on for a whole minute, no one says anything.*
C2 - "There you have it folks, we finally got him. He's finally faced facts; the Arizona Outlaws
are in over their heads."
C3 - "This was bound to happen."
C4 - "I concur."
C1 - "Wow..."
R1 - "Hey, shut up. This is his Press-Conference, not yours."
C2 - "He's SPEECHLESS!"
Allen Davis - *giggling* "You guys are dumb."
Harrif Ernston - "Hey, R4, could you read my quote again to the whole room?"
R4 - "S..Sure... Harrif Ernston: Plus, we aren't losing another game. Quote me."
H - "Yes, it reads just how I remember it. So it will happen, just like how I have said it."
C2 - "Madness!"
R2 - "Tom! Quiet."
Allen Davis - "I thought you would have realized by now. We are mad. Both angry and crazy."
Harrif Ernston - "We are angry that you would think, even for a second, that I would go back on what I said. We are crazy because; you have to be to remain in this league. I'm mainly pissed off that @Ballerstorm J. Garden, @Bzerkap Mat, Spike Crown, and crew could simply cast away a WR who was having a tremendous Rookie season like he was nothing... kind of like how we have to cast and active player away for developmental leagues... I know the Wraith could care less, but that does not mean the Outlaws are heartless like that. Good luck to @tlk742, you don't need them dude."
H - "As for the Wraiths, oh boy. I'm coming to Yellowknife and I'm planning to ball out. I am not leaving without a Win for the Outlaws
and a Loss for the Wraiths
. Better believe it."
*Harrif Ernston gets up and exits the conference room*
Wow, I started this like an hour and a half before the Week 10 matches began. I still hope you guys like I though! Oh, and I am coming Yellowknife, I don't care if it's away. I'm coming.

Well, it seem that I have like sixty more words before I can acquire an amazingly awesome bonus of a staggering 800K. I know that money would definitely help out so I shall try to drag some of this bonus writing out. Yes, you may not like reading it but I don't like writing it either.... well, I am actually starting to have a little fun with this. Has anyone tried this before, it is actually a little cool. So it seems that I had passed the 2000 work count so I had already gotten my bonus but I am just writing this extra stuff to finish off my thought. Maybe I will keep doing this, yeah, this could become a pass time of mine. Still I need a reward, how much until the next bonus....? Three Thousand Words?! Hell no, Ballerstorm, you got me f***ed up. I am not writing anymore, this is not my pass time anymore. Nope, nope, no. Can I stop writing now? The $$ I am getting at this point is just trivial. Ok. I'm done. Can I get an extra smaller bonus for this original idea? Come on, I know you read this so I want a bonus! You should thank me that I didn't make this extremely hard to read. STOP WRITING HARRIF!Ok, done.
