The Colorado Yeti had been playing quite a tough game for awhile against the [redacted for legal reasons], and they just knew that it was something which was going to continue to cause them stress. After fighting to get to overtime in the first place, they ended up losing the game. It was a hard fought loss, which may have made it seem all the worse, but at the end of the day, the team knew that they had made some mistakes and had pieces that they still had to work on. Sitting in the locker room, some of the younger players were taking the losses harder than others, when grizzled veteran NationalSimulation FootballLeague sauntered into the room. Some of the players wondered how he was still in existence, after having spent almost 25 seasons running the entire league before stepping down to becoming a player in the International Simulation Football League, but the younglings knew that he had much wisdom to impart upon them, and therefore, when he spoke, they listened. As they watched him settle down onto the bench, his bones aching, he seemed a little off balance, he shared with the younglings the best piece of advice Melvin had ever heard. "Fuck football, get drunk." So they did. On the dime of the general management team, they headed out to the bar, drowned their sorrows in a couple of bottles, and then made sure to be back and ready for practice the next day. Slightly hungover, but no worse for the wear.
