Way back in Season twenty I want to say I was reaching the end of my contract with the hawks and was considering what to do about my new contract. I had seen that everyone who had tried to do free agency had had a terrible experience or was tampered so in my bright idea I was going to do a fully public free agency. I wanted to improve free agency in the league and I wanted to answer questions and respond candidly to them. One of the things that was coming in the league was an expansion with the Honolulu hahalua and the Sarasota sailfish (who's logo is not a sailfish but a marlin and don't let them fool you into thinking otherwise). Now we didn't know what the names were but it was said that it would be two teams and that it was going to hit in two seasons after it was announced. I was a very young Defensive end but I was putting up pretty good Tackle for loss numbers that I was on pace for to break the record and I hoped would bring me into the Hall of fame. It is from this hubris that everything went wrong. The week after I announced that I was in a 10 mile per hour car crash which set my car on fire and forced me to crawl out of the car on the passenger side that I wasn't on. This came after I had received interest from a few teams in the league but most aggressively from the Chicago butchers. This real life events caused me to not sign with the butchers and just stay with the hawks for the next few seasons befoe considering what to do with expansion then. I don't want to persume causality on what would happen with the steelsound butchers but it was the first event cited in his resulting meltdown after being bullied out of the league for the trades he was trying to make to manufacture a window for the team. Anyway I'm on the butchers now and I could have just been on them more than a year ago if I wanted to.
