1048 words = 750k - ready for grading[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Joshua Caleb Garden. The once promising talent looked to be a future superstar in the World Football League before smoking and drinking his way out of the league. Garden was beloved by the fantasy football community as their lord and savior. After sitting out the start of the season due to a failed drug sample Garden came back to set the league on fire. He made opposing defensive backs shake with fear as he used his 6'3" frame to muscle them before blowing by them with his 4.4 speed. He would go on to lead the league in receiving yards despite sitting out part of the season due to his suspension.

Unfortunately the success wouldn't last long for Garden. During the following off season reports started to swirl about another failed drug test for Garden. Garden and his agent refused to address the claim and a month later the official report came down from the league. Garden was suspended again, this time for even longer. Garden fell out of shape and was soon fired by his agent who claimed that Garden needed to go to rehab and get his life straight before he could get back to his career and his dream of being a professional football player.
Instead, Josh Garden did the exact opposite and tried to get a job with any team who would take him. The CFL wouldn't touch him, nor would the Arena Football League. Reports on Garden went quiet for a while before whispers started to form about where he was playing next. Finally a video from a poor quality camera phone popped up on various fantasy football sites and spread like wildfire to the rest of the football world. They had found where Josh Garden was playing football now, he was in Mexico, in the Mexican Football League along side Chad Ochocinco.
Ochocinco and Garden cruised by on their natural talent in the low quality Mexican Football League, helping their teams amass ridiculous scores and receiving totals for themselves. As one could guess, yet again Garden would fuck it all up. When Garden failed to show up for a game people started looking for him and it didn't take them long to find him passed out in a Mexican jail cell. Reports of the night that landed Garden in jail started to leak to news outlets and it was confirmed that the night before the game Garden was fucked up beyond comprehension thanks to two of his best friends, Tequila and blow. An eye witness claimed they saw him get thrown out of a club and then try to fight the bouncers. When the two bouncers had thrown him around a couple of times, Garden gave up and left the scene. The next report, about 45 minutes later, was a Mexican Policia running out of a gas station toward Garden. The officer reports that Garden was squatting on the roof of his police car and taking a massive shit on the car. As the officer came running out, Garden took off in the other direction and led police on a 2 hour manhunt that found him hiding in an abandoned broken down Toyota Tercel on the side of the road.
After a week in prison, Josh Garden was released on the terms that he never return to Mexico again. Garden didn't know it at the time but his newly formed friendship with Chad Ochocinco saved him from a life in that Mexican prison. Garden left as quickly as he could without asking questions and once he arrived back in America he was greeted by Ochocinco who told him everything. Apparently the Mexican Football League was a really big deal down there and their team was owned by the head of the biggest cartel in Mexico. Ochocinco told the owner that he was going back to America unless he flexed his muscle and got Garden out of prison. Garden was thankful to Ochocinco but that thankfulness quickly turned to rage when Ochocinco told him that his only condition was that Garden go to rehab immediately. Garden fought Ochocinco for every inch he could but in the end he knew he needed to fix himself if he wanted to play football again, and he agreed to Ochocinco's deal.
After 3 months in rehab Josh Garden was back in society and feeling better than he had his entire adult life. It was time for a new chapter and Garden knew he was finally ready to be the football player he had always dreamed of becoming. Garden petitioned the WFL for his reinstatement but was quickly denied. It was clear the league was finished with him. He made his case to the CFL again and once more was denied. Lastly he went to the Arena Football league hoping that he could sell himself better than the last time he tried with them. Gardens attempts would fall short as none of the leagues wanted him. Josh Garden had gone from feeling better than he ever had to feeling worthless all over again, and that's when an opportunity at redemption came knocking. The National Simulation Football league was about to open its doors. A brand new football league looking for talented players. This was it, this was Josh Garden's chance. Garden immediately appealed to the league to allow him to play and somehow, despite being rejected time and time again by the other leagues in North America, he was accepted.
The next chapter for Josh Garden is about to begin. The National Simulation Football league is Josh Gardens playground and he is ready to play. Following his daily snapchats the football world is buzzing again for what Josh Garden can do. Fans have been following his stories every day and seeing the work he has been putting in. This is a Josh Garden that the world has never seen, not even in his dominant World Football League season. This is a Josh Garden who is focused, ready, and most importantly mentally healthier than he has ever been. If Josh Garden can stay on track and not be the screw up he has been his entire life before now then the NSFL better watch out because he is going to be a dangerous player for whichever team drafts him.[/div]

You guys don't have to just do pressers. Pressers only pay half as much anyways. I encourage everyone to write media, a story, an article instead, like this one
