13.) Create an argument for your own player, or for someone else on your team, as to why they should be nominated for awards. Lay out their stats or compare them to other contenders. Make a convincing case.

(227 words) In my opinion it is a no brainer that the player most deserving of the Offensive Lineman of the Year Award is Givussafare Rubbe, When you look at the list of offensive linemen you have to go down a few spots to find Givussafare RUbbe, but if you're only looking at pancakes If you look at the sacks allowed stat then you'll see that while some players had more pancakes than Rubbe, but they also had more sacks allowed. Left Tackle had 82 pancakes but 8 sacks allowed. Johsnon had 76 pancakes and 6 sacks allowed.

I believe that the only player who comes close is Bruce Buckley.

Givussafare Rubbe had 75 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed. Bruce Buckley had 84 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed. But we can't only look at those numbers, it's about rushing as well.

In terms of rushing the New Orleans Second Line totally dominate the Arizona Outlaws. The Outlaws only had 1764 total yards, the 2nd worst in the entire league, while the Second Line had 2140 total yards. There's no contest here.

Offensive linemen aren't really supposed to get flashy stats, they're supposed to be there to facilitate the offense and when you look at that you see that Givussafare Rubbe really made a difference in terms of the running game. Based on that he totally deserves the OLotY Award.

17.) Choose any award from the past 22 offseasons that you think should’ve gone to a different contender. Why was your chosen candidate’s season superior to the actual winner?

(223 words) Oh man, this is an easy one for me. Lazlo Forty-Two had one the best season in offensive lineman history and it was just totally swept under the rug for some unexplained reason. The only thing I can think of is that it must be because he's an offensive lineman and thus GMs are not going to give him a fair rub when it comes to the offensive lineman of the year award. Darn skill positions getting all of the glory...


Back in season 22 Lazlo Forty-Two had a total of 85 pancakes without allowing a single sack. Now if you look at the historical pancakes in a season numbers you'll see 97, 93, 92, 91, and 90 all above him. BUT if you go back and look at the actual seasons when those happened you'll find that only one of the those seasons where a player had more pancakes than Lazlo Forty-Two did that same player have 0 sacks allowed.

2020 - AZ - Robotman, C. - 97 Pancakes - 4 Sacks Allowed
2022 - PHI - Tyler, J. - 93 Pancakes - 2 Sacks Allowed
2019 - AZ - Robotman, D. - 92 Pancakes - 1 Sack Allowed
2027 - BAL - Jeremy, R. - 91 Pancakes - 1 Sack Allowed
2029 - COL - Tackle, L. - 90 Pancakes - 0 Sacks Allowed

Lazlo Forty-Two to this point is the best OL in NSFL history. And nobody gave a damn.

19.) Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, highlights, or anti-Semitic Instagram posts. I’m joking about that last one, please don’t bring up bigotry.

(225 words) There are some really great prospects coming up in the S24 ISFL draft! One player that I think is going to be overlooked by a lot of teams is Thad Pennington Jr. He has the pedigree to be a long time ISFLer if you can think back to his pops Thad Pennington who won THREE Ultiminis and one Ultimus, you'll see that football is in his blood. But you obviously can't get by just on the coat tails of your parents or relatives. Pennington Jr. sure as hell does not want to either, and you can tell by his play on the field. In his first professional DSFL season Pennington Jr. did not allow a single sack and had a total of 49 pancakes, good for second in the entire DSFL!

Beyond his stats Pennington Jr. has some clear talent. He's equally skilled at both pass blocking and making room for his running backs to make it up the field. At this level his raw strength is just unmatched. He's going to need to get stronger to make it at the next level but his 6'6" frame has room for being filled out further. I have no doubt that Pennington Jr. is going to make it to the ISFL and make it big at that. He'll be blocking pass rushers for several seasons to come.
