Playoff Recap
So these playoffs were ones that a lot of people were really excited for, and for a lot of reasons. There was some really good football to be played between unquestionably some of the best teams ever seen in the NSFL, and in an exciting turn of events the Kansas City Coyotes missed on the playoffs in favour of the Norfolk Seavwolves, a bot team that doesn't have a single real player on their roster. I'm sure this was a knock for the Coyotes and their staff, but this is about the teams who did make the playoffs, and how their series turned out.
The first round saw the Tijuana Luchadores dispatch the San Antonio Marshals in a handy victory, even though the teams were very equally matched. A number of young stars in SA did not see the field including rookie quarterback Luke Boechler who was very vocal about this issue. On the other side Portland narrowly took out the Seawolves to advance to the finals where they would ultimately lose to your very own Tijuana Luchadores. I was kind of upset that I didn't get played either game but I'm not too concerned anymore because we won a championship.

We sat down with star defensive tackle Sam Garrad of the Tijuana Luchadores who took a strong victory over the San Antonio Marshals this week to get to know him better.
Sam, how much of an impact do you think you had on your team's victory tonight?
Well, considering I didn't play I'm going to go with very little. It would have been nice to get on the field for at least one play, so I was pretty disappointqing I couldn't join in the team's success.
Do you expect to take a more active role in this upcoming Ultimini game?
I want to say yes, but my past playing time is telling me the answer will probably be no.
What are your plans with your career? Are you looking to win titles, awards, set records, make money? What do you want?
I think the biggest draw for me right now is the pursuit of that Ultimus trophy. It's so important to me to find team success (and do it as a part of the team).
What's your favorite flavor of ice cream sandwich ever created?
I'm going to have to go with mint chocolate chip on that one chief.
Sit down with a Star
Today I'm here with Sam Garrad of the Tijuana Luchadores, and he's gonna be asking me some questions to get to know me or something, but if you watch football right now you probably have already heard of Ryan Cobalt.
Ryan, how much of an impact do you think you had on your team's play tonight?
Well I like to think that every time I get out on the field it give it my best shot, and so it hurts to know that tonight not even my best was good enough. The talent group here is really strong, and I think we all gave it all we had.
How does it feel to still be in pursuit of an Ultimini birth?
It's intoxicating. You desire the win so much until you get it, and I still haven't [got it] so it's just as addicting to me to dream about it as it is to achieve.
What are your plans with your career? Are you looking to win titles, awards, set records, make money? What do you want?
The number one thing that I think about every day is winning awards and setting records, I want to be a Hall of Fame player through and through.
What's your favorite flavor of ice cream sandwich ever created?
Good old plain is the way to go for me.
Disneyland
Sam Garrad might not have been the MVP of the game against the Portland Pythons to take home the Ultimini, but he was a large part of the time mentality that helped in aiding the team towards a victory. His direct impact was pretty miniscule, but as an apology for being given no time on the field for the entirety of his term on contract with the Tijuana Luchadores he was granted an honorary free trip to Disneyland. The catch was that he was only given one ticket, and since he spent all of his money on supercars he was out of luck in terms of bringing a friend with him. Instead, Garrad spent his week in Disneyland partying up with a collective of random guys that he met from Orange County who were in town doing the same thing despite them also not winning the championship, and even saw the old Hawks quarterback Avon Blocksdale throwing some balls at a carnival game. The trip was a great time, but didn't really fix Garrad's issue with having not played. The mentality of being a supporting role player will forever be ingrained in the mind of the young defensive tackle, and it was unlikely he will overcome the speed bump of this mentality.
