20) Choose any award from the past 24 offseasons that you think should’ve gone to a different contender. Why was your chosen candidate’s season superior to the actual winner?
This one has always been an easy one for me. S20 DSFL GM of the year. To this day, I still don't know how Frost and Cory didn't win this award after guiding MB to a 12-2 record, winning 9 straight comes and losing in the Ultimini. I don't even remember who the eventual winners were, but it was always a sore spot of contention for me when the 2-12 Portland GM's were nominated for this award that the GMs for MB wasn't. Maybe it was just the way the graphic was set up during the presentation but I made a big stink about it then, and I'm kinda glad I get to revisit that one. I just wish awards were based on stats and not on favoritism, but as with all things that are voted on, personal feelings are going to be a part of it and it's just the nature of the beast. Definitely stands out in my mind as one of the biggest WTF moments during an awards presentation though. In hindsight, 5 seasons removed from that awards show, I still think Cory and Frost got robbed and I'm not sure if anyone can convince me otherwise. It was so bad that Frost leave MB as a co GM and went to Sarasota as an expansion GM... not really, but I'd like to think that's what caused it.

22) Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, highlights, or totally fraudulent mail-in ballots. Whatever rookies get up to these days.
Season 27 DSFl Draftee PickSix II is definitely going to be a high pick. Already has 42 TPE banked max earning his way to the top without equipment. Also has over 20m in the bank to purchase top tier equipment before he even gets drafted. Currently PickSix II has mediocre speed, but makes up for that with his above average intelligence and hands at the cornerback position which is what many teams that are looking to beef up their secondary should be on the lookout for. He was picked up by the Grey Ducks in the expansion draft, but basically has been taking it easy since they're playing him in the NB position, and he's just not feeling it so he's giving it the good ol college try before hitting the weight room with his banked TPE prior to the draft to upgrade his stats before his true rookie DSFL season starts in earnest. Look for the son of former great PickSix to go higher than his pop did in this year's DSFL draft. Scouts have even said that PickSix II possess even better hands and understands the playbook than his father. In addition, he inherited the same trash talking mouth that puts wide receivers on edge when lining up opposite PickSix II on the field.

11) History is not always kind to the losers. Tell the story of a team who you view as an all-time great but who did not win the title game. Why was that team so dominant? What were the major focal points of their offense and defense, and who were the star players? What makes them so special? What was the reason that they ultimately fell short of immortal greatness?
Season 20 DSFL team Myrtle Beach Bucs definitely was an all-time great team. On offense, they were led by George Ramos, Sarvepally running the ball, a rookie Leon McDavid protecting Ramos' blind side and starting his immaculate career without giving up a sack. Bravestone as a deep threat option. It's no secret why that offense put up 290 points that year. As good as that stunning offense was, the vaunted No Fly Zone of the Bucs defense was the real story of that team.
Led by Prince Vegeta at Safety along with Dax Frost prior to him changing to a running back in their secondary. Alongside Mouseman and Stephens at the linebacker position with Rapid Eagle and Bouchier just pressuring opposing QB's. Rotticus Scott lining up at safety beside Prince Vegeta just made this defense absolutely deadly. If that wasn't enough star power on that defensive side, after week 6 they traded for HeHateMe PickSix out of Portland, to absolutely terrify opposing offenses and it showed with the team giving up just 119 points in the entire season. This was a special team, since the PickSix trade, MB went undefeated the rest of the way en route to the Ultimini game where due to some unfortunate luck and a bad showing by "playoff" Ramos they were beaten the equally impressive Minnesota Grey Ducks that year.
Just how dominant was this team? Lets look at the ISFL draft that took place after this season. Prince Vegeta went #1 overall, HeHateMe PickSix went #4 overall, Leon McDavid and Rapid Eagle went 12 and 13 overall. Trevor Mouseman, Rotticus Scott went 16 and 17th overall. Simon Trembley, Larry Longshot, Dax Frost, all were drafted in the top 30. That's a total of 9 players that were selected in the top 30 picks in that draft. Out of the 9 players, 6 of them have been in at least one Pro Bowl in their ISFL career as well.
This team was simply a team for the ages as evident by the next season once all their stars were moved up to the big leagues, MB finished with a record of 9-5, still good enough for being first in the conference and even winning the Ultimini that year avenging their previous year's loss. However the most telling stat was without their defensive weapons, MB gave up 275 total points that year. They went from giving up 119 to basically giving up more than double the points they allowed due to the departures of 3 of the 4 members of the vaunted No Fly Zone secondary with only Rotticus Scott being on that team having not been called up.
In conclusion, the S20 Bucs ultimately fell short of immortal greatness due to a bad game by their QB and sim luck. Both teams were 12-2 heading into the championship game, and a team had to lose, it was just unfortunate that the team that ended up losing was this incredibly talented team for the ages.
