Task 36: 2.5 TPE

Task 32: 2.5 TPE
Though I trolled the rebrand thread (what's so great about posting the letter L, anyway?) I really don't like the rebranding of the Philadephia Liberty. I have three main reasons for this:
1) I liked the old branding
Philadelphia is a location that should be represented in the sim league world, imo. The Liberty was an awesome idea for a team brand and always had cool looking bell-based logos. It had that classic Americana thing going.
2) I dislike the new branding
Cape Town - yeah that place is huge on it's football. One of those "exotic locations are cool" calls that I dislike. The logo looks like clipart and the colour scheme is an off brand KCC. The "Crash" part I don't hate.
3) I think they did it for questionable reasons
It seems like "everyone was laughing at Philly" or "Philly was cursed" is a decent part of the rationale here. We weren't, and they aren't, respectively. It's easy to believe there's some kind of hex on you - there just isn't.
But hey, they are happy with it, and if they're happy, who gives a shit what I think?

Task 16: 5 TPE
The Season 38 Arizona Outlaws started out with 5 straight wins, the largest of which was a 49-17 humbling of the San Jose Sabercats. The Outlaws couldn't be stopped on the ground or thought the air, as Wendell Sailor finished with a 136.7 passer rating and two passing touchdowns, and the team combined for four scores on the ground. Second year Rookie of the Year Akaki Akayre contributed two sacks and a forced fumble.
The success went to the Outlaws' heads, however, as they allowed a 14 point 4th quarter in Week 6, to drop 24-20 to the Austin Copperheads.
The Outlaws won 4 more after this, with the biggest win coming in a 46-28 whooping of the Philadelphia Liberty. Wendell Sailor threw for three scores in what would prove to be the Outlaws' last ever victory over the Liberty before they moved to Cape Town in a move that is absolutely sure to guarantee the future success of the franchise.
The Outlaws dropped a second game to the New Orleans Second Line in Week 11, with the Second Line shutting down their running game completely and forcing Sailor into risky throws. After three more wins, they lost a third game to the San Jose Sabercats, mainly due to an amazing game from quarterback Owen Farrell.
This would be the Outlaws' last loss of the season, as they went on to finish the year 13-3 and clinch the Regular Season Championship.
Down 20-14 to the New York Silverbacks at the half in the ASFC Championship game, the Outlaws scored 17 points in the second half to win the game 31-28 and qualify for the Ultimus.
Arizona got out to a 17-7 lead against the Berlin Fire Salamanders going into the fourth quarter of the Ultimus. Berlin mounted a huge comeback in the fourth quarter to bring the score to 21-23, with the game coming down to an onside kick with 28 seconds left. Outlaws backup running back Danny Nedelko recovered it to seal the Outlaws' second straight title.
