Choose your favorite non-playoffs game of this season, whether your own team or another. Explain what was so special and why the winner ultimately came out victorious, including key players and moments.
One game for the Orange County Otters that was very memorable this season was their absolute dismantling of Austin at the Otters' arena, a game where just everything clicked for Orange County, resulting in a 35-3 win. This one was memorable because it was debatably the best performance of new rookie QB Suleiman Ramza's Otters career. In the game, he showed a lot of confidence and composure, as he managed to throw for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns, no interceptions. Now I know I just said it was memorable because of Ramza's performance, but that was an absolute lie because I just learned now how good a game that was for him. The REAL reason I found it memorable was that it was Garfield Despacito Jr.'s only multi-touchdown game of the season, as two of the five catches he made off Ramza's passes were in the end zone. Add in a 40 yard catch too at one stage of the game and it ultimately added up to a big 94 yards. This was made even better by the dismal performance of my "partner" in crime Owen Holloway who made only two catches for 12 yards in the game (we can ignore that one of them was a touchdown). But ending back on topic, the excellent performance of Ramza, who came out with an astonishing 134.8 QB rating, was the key part of OCO's victory, alongside the defense completely nullifying the Austin offense, blocking them on everything except one field goal.

30) Reflect on the two expansion teams. How did their first seasons go? What were their key strengths and weaknesses, and how are they poised to improve in seasons to come?
Well well well, I never thought you would ask. Before I even look at the standings to know how well they did, I can already tell you one weakness in their teams that the expansion teams failed to address: the lack of Garfield Despacito Jr. in their lineups. When Orange County inexplicably made the young wide receiver available for the taking in the expansion draft, neither pounced, to the surprise of everyone. Now if you look at the standings, you can see the effect this has had.
If we look at Berlin, they were...wow. Last place in the league? League worst offense? Colour me surprised. If only they had a dynamic and elite offensive player who could've contributed to that...what a shame. I don't know what their future looks like, but it probably would've looked a significant degree better if they had a certain top quality wide receiver.
On the other hand if we look at New York they...oh...they also suck...that's unfortunate...To the surprise of perhaps many people who aren't named Gwdjohnson, they were right behind Berlin for the league's worst offense. This Kingston dude was pretty solid for them as a WR so I'm not gonna be as harsh on them as I was on Berlin, BUT...they should've taken Despacito Jr. Judging by the fact that they got 1 win more than Berlin, I will make a guess that New York's future is brighter.
My closing point is they should've taken Despacito Jr. in expansion, no amount of research could tell me otherwise.

16) Create an argument for your own player, or for someone else on your team, as to why they should be nominated for awards. Lay out their stats or compare them to other contenders. Make a convincing case.
I'm not by any stretch of the imagination an expert on football, and my knowledge gets even worse when it comes to the defensive side of football, but I will try to make a case for my defensive teammate Prince Vegeta to win Defensive Player of the Year. A former 1st overall pick from the S21 draft, Vegeta had what is undoubtedly the best defensive performance of any player this season, coming in an away game against Arizona. Vegeta managed to get two touchdowns off interceptions in just the first quarter of the match, and in a game that was decided by just six points, those two pick sixes proved to be absolutely crucial. Sticking on the subject of touchdowns, Vegeta was the only defensive player across any position to get 3 touchdowns on the season, and he was tied for first among all defensive players in interceptions with five. In the tackles, pancakes, and whatever other departments that you might judge a safety on, Vegeta was not a clear standout, but with his best individual performances this season you could argue he was one of the most important pieces of Orange County having as good a record as they did. But if Vegeta is not someone who would be considered for DPOTY, his performance against Arizona with the two pick sixes will without question be winning best defensive performance of the season.
