Robbed
What can I say besides the fact that the Yellowknife Wraiths were robbed of a playoff berth this season. The Yellowknife Wraiths had the best rush offense and defense in the league, and their passing offense, although struggled, their defense was second in their conference and fourth in the league. This could have been their last big push to try and make the playoffs and try to win it all once more for their older players in Bailey Cook, Dermott Lavelle, Eric Kennedy, Mat Akselsen and Ricky Maddox (RIP the GOAT DE/TE). It all came down to that home game against the Yeti in week 13. Playing against the Yeti in week 13, they had a horrible defensive showing in the second quarter and the offense couldn’t click in the second half. If only Akselsen could have not thrown that interception to the Rookie Thibault in Colorado that was returned for a touchdown then maybe it would have been the Hawks facing the Wraiths in the playoffs. Then who knows, maybe they would have had their same playoff magic that they had last year to drive them to a rematch with the New Orleans Second Line and then maybe the story could have changed. It all falls on the shoulders of Akselsen.

Question 1: How do you feel about going into New Orleans and playing them on their home turf, that team has shown to be quite dominant at home?
“I knew it was going to be a tough game. The Second Line are a great team, and splitting the season series shows close to even these two teams are. They have a great home field advantage, the move to New Orleans was obviously a huge success. The defense they have is top notch, and I know that they’re gonna give me all we have. Borkman is a great young QB so we’ll see if our D can try and slow him down.”
Question 2: Facing New Orleans, What do you think you have to do perfectly to beat them? What is your biggest weakness heading into this game?
“Our Biggest Weakness heading in to this game is gonna be our pass defense. We have the best cornerback to play the game in Antoine Delacour, but he can only do so much. The rest of our guys are going to have to step up. We’ll need to play great defense and hope to force a turnover or two.
Question 3: Losing to NOLA, what are your plans? Is retirement in your future? How much longer do you think you can stay at an elite level?
I mean losing to NOLA was brutal. We knew they would be tough, they’re a great team. As far as plans, I’m looking at Mike Boss. He was able to sustain a level of success at the QB position for years. I hope to be able to be his level of efficiency and everything. I think I can stay at an elite level for at least two more seasons, maybe more. I’ve always said I’m gonna die on the football field. I’m gonna try to dominate for a long time. I want a ring.
Question 4: What is your favorite NOLA meme?
N/A. NOLA has made me a sad sad boi.

One – What was it like to win a title in New Orleans?
Winning a ring in New Orleans was basically a dream come true. The organization has been super supportive since I came over two seasons ago, and the locker room is a great place to be. I even got to win a ring with a bunch of my great friends and teammates from San Jose, so it’s even better, because I get to celebrate with some great guys through and through.
Two – Now that you’re facing retirement, what was Sharpei’s biggest accomplishment?
That’s a tough one, honestly. Getting drafted 4th overall back in season 2 was great, being a cornerstone in San Jose was also great. Being traded and just being part of a great organization was also an eye opening experience, going to NOLA changed a lot of my views on the world. Winning a title here in NOLA has to probably be my biggest accomplishment, and it means a lot to me to help bring a title here.
Three – What’re Sharpei’s post NSFL plans?
Well, that’s an easy one. I plan on meeting up with family and friends and probably getting shitfaced for the next few weeks, you know, that Ultimus high, but then after that I plan on settling down and starting a family.
Four – Was it bittersweet to win in a place that wasn’t San Jose?
Yes, I think bittersweet is a great way to put it. Don’t get me wrong, it is amazing to win a title and be a champion. Sadly, I couldn’t bring a title to San Jose, and ckroyal busted his ass off over and over to try and get us to the ultimate goal. It was a little bit easier because I got a lot of close friends from there to play here with me.

Clearly, to all the doubters out there, there is only one Ultimus MVP. Some would think it would go to some good boyes on defense, like Blackford Oakes or Fuego Wozy. On Offense, some would say Darren Smallwood, or even Dustin Evans. They are all super good boyes but they are not the Ultimus MVP. That belongs to one special boye, which is Borkus Maximus III. Borkus Maximus III has a long standing history of things he has accomplished, and this Ultimus game proves that this man is on the up and up. This game alone, he posted one of the best games, EVER, BY ANY QUARTERBACK, in this Ultimus Game. He led the Good Boyes of NOLA to the Promised Land, like he said he would. This was NOLA’s year, and Borkus took them where he was destined to go. Now, Borkus is headed with his teammates, because he is such a humble and loving captain of the NOLA Boyes, to Disneyland to share and bask in the glory of Disneyland because Disneyland is the place of champions. Borkus and his boyes are Champions this year, and Borkus is taking everyone with him to Disneyland because that is what a MVP does. MVP BORKUS IS BEST BORKUS.
