I think at this point our greatest rival would have to be the New York Silverbacks. Having come into the league at the same time, each matchup with them has grown in intensity and importance, culminating in a defeat at their hands in last year's Ultimus. I have a ton of respect for what they've done in New York, but it also has come at the expense of us rising all the way to the top, so there's definitely some rivalry in there. Following this hypothetical loss to the Silverbacks, you'd see a few things. Skiuuup would be able to tell us exactly where it went wrong, while also pointing out the time that he was open and we missed him. Kaepercolin would be pretty quiet, hoping that we wouldn't bring up the costly interception that sent the game to overtime in the first place. Danny King Jr. Would be quick to point out if Danny King Sr. had missed any kicks or had a bad punt or even looked at him a little bit funny, claiming that he was the cause of all bad things in Berlin. And Schell would give some kind of broad and encouraging speech about how far we've come and how we're such a great team that everyone would probably roll their eyes at. At the end of the day, the team would gear up for the next game and get ready to kick ass - we don't lose twice in a row hardly ever, so good luck tonight, Sarasota. You're gonna need it.
