(S29) PT 5 - Arguements

[PMoney]

Fights happen a lot in Yellowknife. It’s cold during training and sometimes to warmup the coaches want a bit of fire in the players and so start rumours behind players backs to get them to have a scrap. A good old fashioned scrap is nothing to be afraid of but sometimes tempers get a bit too heated. That’s where Patrik Money is brought in. As a DT, he’s one of the largest boys in the team and can easily hold 2 scrapping WRs away from each other with each of his hands. However sometimes the peacemaking nature of Money makes him a target for more fights. While he has the size to deal with most of the team, he’s a gentle giant and doesn’t have the personality to really scrap. That’s where he brings in the help of new Yellowknife RB, Jay Cue Jr.  While he doesn’t have the size of Money, he has the ferocious and cunning nature needed to help Money out where size isn’t the issue. Cue Jr. has been asked to stop pipe bombing his teammates cars or snowmobiles, but apart from that, he’s allowed to terrorise the other players as rookie hazing was pretty harsh this season. It’s really given him the drive to go with his insane personality that should make him go far in the ISFL.

As the season draws to a close, the realization that the defending Ultimus Bowl champion will not be in the playoffs to defend their title dawns on the team. A couple days prior to the week 16 season finale, a massive argument took place inside the Wraiths training facility. Frustrations boiled over between linebackers Douglas Quaid and Spike Suzuki. Reporters inside the building said Quaid unleashed a verbal tirade singling out Suzuki by name and insinuating others who don’t train and practice as hard as others on the team. Paraphrasing what Quaid said: “Spike, maybe if you and those other lazy bums we have in here trained harder and were more committed to your job, we wouldn’t be on the outside looking in.” “I’m a three time champion in this league, I know what it takes to win the title, you don’t get there by being a bum like you!” Plenty of bodies were in between the two players so things never got physical. Quaid had some parting shots as well: “We have one more game with your carcass on the roster, then your butt is out the door!” With the Wraiths season officially over, all focus is now on the roster. Suzuki is likely going to end up in the free agency pool. It certainly would be an awkward situation if he’s brought back. (225 words)

I'll never forget the fight that broke out this year in the Silverbacks locker room. Voices were raised. Tensions were high. And, just maybe, things were thrown. Let's break it down...

We were all coming in from a particularly grueling practice when I heard a commotion in the corner of the locker room. After looking around to make sure I wasn't the only one who heard something I decided to head over and investigate. And there, right in front of me and everyone else were two grown men on the verge of fisticuffs. Captain Rogers and Brandon Prince were in each other's faces, eyes bulging and spit flying. At first I couldn't quite make out what it was they were heated about. I assumed it was something about the game plan, or the amount of touches they were getting. You know, they were both running backs so that would make some sort of sense. But no, they weren't arguing about anything like that at all. In fact, it wasn't even about football. These two were arguing the pros and cons of pancakes versus waffles. Yep. Breakfast. I wasn't even sure who was arguing for what but at that point it didn't matter. We had to intervene. A bunch of us jumped in to settle things down, and eventually cooler heads prevailed. Thankfully. That is, until Buster Bawlls chimed in about crepes...

When fights break out in training camp on real football teams, nobody is greatly concerned either within the locker room or the organization, because they’ve played and been involved in football before and know that it’s part of the game. Actually, a lot of teams try and manufacture fights in training camp, it’s a frequent motivational technique used by top coaches. However, if something got out of hand and needed someone to step in, I could do that easily. All I would need is my bag that I hide in the trainer’s locker and a 2-dollar gas-station cigar. My goal would to be to roll the fattest blunt I could possibly fit in a leaf and pass it around to the guys on the team. If they still haven’t relaxed, I’ll go grab my other bag that I hide in the trainer’s refrigerator. Yes, you guessed it- I would give my teammates chocolates that are absolutely loaded to the gills with THC oil and butters. This would be enough to get Cheech and Chong to pray to Jesus himself for salvation, never mind some light-weight football player who doesn’t dabble during the season. If, after all these attempts fail, then there’s an easy solution. Just trade or cut the person. Pretty simple stuff here.

Sheriff Woody is no stranger to conflict. Back at home the toys got in fights and tricky situations all the time. What you need to stress to resolve any conflict is that you’re all part of the same team. Ultimately you are all working towards the same goals, and personal disputes can’t get in the way of that. You don’t have to be best friends with anyone, but you need to be able to put everything aside and work as a unit. Obviously, the ideal scenario is for everyone to like one another, but that isn’t always realistic. So then the questions becomes how do you make sure everyone is on the same page about that. All you can do really is sit the team down and tell everyone that is part of the conflict that they need to be able to work together and that’s all there is to it. Tijuana is playoff bound and it would be a huge disservice to their teammates, friends, and the organization to let some argument hurt the teams’ chances of bringing home Ultimini number nine. You can’t have such an ego that you let disagreements get in the way of the overall wellbeing of the team.
