1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Written: Give a short write up of one or multiple playoff matches. If completed before the airing of the sims have predictions, after if it is a review of the game.
Orange county Otters vs Yellowknife wraiths in the Ultimus! A defensive battle that many thought would be an offensive show by the Wraiths. Being played in the frozen tundra of the north fans expected the Otters to falter by not being able to keep up with their wide receivers or withstand the thumping in the trenches which is exponentially worse in the cold. The exact opposite happened when the otters punched the wraiths in the mouth to open the first quarter. After that both teams played lock down defense and it was a game of field position and penalties for the otters as they had a total of nine to the wraiths ZERO. The wraiths may have had the bigger defensive line and veteran defensive backs but it was the otters youth and speed that bothered the wraiths. Bigsby ended with lower than his season average in passing yards and forced into two interceptions. Not all were his fault as the smaller running back Marshall had no chance out muscling a safety for his pass in the flat. Neither team had an effective day on third days as both were less than 30% conversion. It really is any given Sunday or this case Wednesday that a team can come out victorious as the underdog.

7) Next year
Written: If your team has been eliminated, why will the next year, or the year after that, be the year that your team is going to win the Ultimus or Ultimini.
After a heart breaking loss in the Ultimini of twenty three to ten the underdog Marshals will be looking to capture the crown in over five seasons. The left overs of season 18 will be getting called up to the NSFL so that will even the chances as S17 had the majority of the Marshals drafted in the first two rounds and called up to play for their NSFL teams. Other DSFL teams had the luxury of veteran player to fill out their depth chart. This upcoming season is SA’s turn. They have a returning quarterback and wide receiver that can continue to grow their connection with the two stalwarts holding down the offensive line. On defense there is a stud at every level, Bjorn is coming back in the trenches, Marston is back to shoot down opposing passes and Allen Josh the should be linebacker of the year if IA’s were eligible locks down the middle of the field. To think that Peter Brand and Leon Maverick were GM’ing their first season ever and was able to take them deep into the playoffs, they should be able to build upon the mistakes they made to guide this team back deep into the playoffs. Tijuana and Portland Suck. (208 words)
10) Rivalries
Written: Write about another team and why they are overrated and why you want them to lose.
Graphic: Show a statistical representation of why said team is overrated.
Tijuana is a heated mess. A thing that is a mess and once heat is applied is even messier. Being down near the equator has fried their brains and made them delusional. They are overated because they practice with their shirts off and get all goldeny brown tan and everything thinks they are so strong and fit. But really its just the fake bake effect. The all show no go muscles. The only reason their skill players are any good is because they have fourty year old offensive lineman that man handle the rookies and will never get called up to the big leagues as all the drugs and tequilia in Tijuana have ruined their lives. Don’t get me started on the defense. All you can eat taco’s! No wonder there isn’t a running lane against that defensive line when they are all 400 lbs. And because of this wall their secondary gets to run free and make all the tackles. And boy do they want the tackles as the team facility has a bull riding machine and the more tackles you get the more time you get to spend on the mechanical bull. I could go on and on about the corrupt, shady, and immoral practices of the Luchadores but I won’t. (213 words)
13) Sit-down with a fan:

Sitting down with a star of the DSFL Waldo AKA Zach Vega the QB of the San Antonio Marshals Ultimini losers
1. Your first year in the league you lead your team to an Ultimini. How does that make you feel and how did you get there?
Well i would use the term “lead” lightly, the defense carried us more than anything; but i would say it gives me confidence to know that someone out there thinks i did well
2. Quarterback is a developmental position. How do you forecast your stats next year and what are the biggest lessons you will take from your rookie year moving forward?
well i definitely believe i can develop and become a better QB, starting in my rookie year definitely gave me the experience and i believe that my stats next year will show that
3. From having a hot start to the season then keeping good care of the ball for the rest of season can you explain what in the two playoff games that caused you to average two interceptions?
that run at the end of the year made me more confident throwing the ball to a point where i think i got too confident and made many mistakes
4. As the draft is coming up who are you going to miss from the Marshals and what positions do you hope they grab in the upcoming draft?
i can’t say i’ll miss just one of these guys, i love each and everyone of them; i hope they get a WR as our corps are going to be depleted next season
