11. The clock struck zero.
LeHarm James threw off his helmet and looked at the scoreboard in disbelief. The screen read 9-31 as Kansas City's players and fans erupted into cheers.
He touched his neck to make sure it wasn't tender from the whiplash this game had given him. Coming into this game, Dallas basically had a clear shot at the playoffs. 8-4 should be a record that would practically guarantee a playoff appearance in most leagues where half the teams make the playoffs. Even then, they didn't technically have it in the bag due to Norfolk and Tijuana nipping at their ankles. Sure, whatever. This game, they'd go to the Coyotes and prove that they were better than the 4-8 team that would make it over one of the three 7+ win teams in the South due to divisions.
He didn't account for the offense having 3 more turnovers than Kansas City. Not to say that was it, he also held a big responsibility. He was the clear DPOTY frontrunner heading into the final weeks, and his team needed him to rack up tackles. Not only did he throw away that spot in this game, he wasn't even in the top 5 in tackles for his team. The season wasn't over technically, but they weren't overcoming a 60-point differential against Tijuana.
There was no fairy-tale ending for James. They ended up winning against London by a lot, but Tijuana did them no favors by winning their own game. And so the 9-5 Dallas Birddogs sat out of the playoffs, looking on as Norfolk grabbed an elusive championship. He didn't win the DPOTY obviously, just a random Pro Bowl experience in which he was outshown by everyone else there. And so, as the curtain falls on this season, he wants to feel happy. But in reality, he's salty and the person who's writing this is salty too.
33. As a person joining the Chicago Butchers' roster this year, I can say that... GOD, OUR BRANDING ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!
Before I get into subjective matters, I'll mention the fact that the logo was made from assets we didn't make ourselves. This means that I can't get a blanket with the Chicago Butchers logo on it like every single other team here. WHERE'S MY GODDAMN BLANKET HEAD OFFICE? For the purposes of this that we did own it, I'd still say to change it for subjective reasons.
I'm talking about the blood on the knife. If we want to create a league that imitates the NFL with its branding, this is not the play. Blood would not be featured on any professional sports team's logo unless it was the old XFL or something. This is not about me being queazy, I've touched a human brain before at a medical camp. What I am saying is that any logo with blood on it makes me think that an edgy 14-year-old who listens to My Chemical Romance made it.
