Von Hayes was never the most outspoken person, but after the last two seasons filled with disappointment, Hayes was coming to the end of his career, and his patience with multiple higher ups who worked for the Butchers. One day passing through the locker room, Hayes finally snapped when he heard Shields and Gleel both shouting and arguing about milk. He was over their dumb arguments about simple foods and drinks, but had to put his foot down when both of his teammates had different, and in his mind, wrong opinions. "How the fuck do you idiots like Chocolate or Strawberry milk?" Von Hayes shouted at them both. "The two of you need to grow the fuck up and have almond milk already." Hayes in his mind, knew that Almond Milk was the best form of milk in general, so when Tyron Shields called him "old and stinky", Hayes confronted him and got in his face. Inches away from each other, the locker room all circled around them, waiting to see who would make the first move, as the usually calm and collected Hayes was infuriated with Shields. Sam Sidekick was the first one to come in to try and break the fight, and was later joined by other teammates and coaching staff, separating the two friends and teammates. After given time to cool down, the two decided that it would be best to settle the argument with a boxing match. Going to their local gym, they rented out a boxing arena, before locking the doors and getting in the ring. Nobody knows who won that fight, but both men came out of the room with smiles, and a regrown respect for one another.
Fights do not break out in Minnesota. This team is so well run and we never have fights on the team because we all have the same goal in mind, we want to bring the Ultimini to Minny. These goals supersede all squabbles and issues, and everyone knows it. If Kaz had to get involved, and this never happens so it wouldn’t be an issue, he would surely first go to both parties and figure out what the issue was that caused it, trying to get them to meet on common ground and focus on what our main objective is. We can’t win the Ultiminny if we are not in sync, so to bring the parties together and get over the beef would be paramount to the success of the team, as you’re only as strong as the weakest link. Reaching out to these members first is key, and then grouping up and having a meeting with the team as a whole would be the next plan of attack, so that we would be able to move forward and not worry about a dumb fight that could be saved for after the season. Fights do not happen in Minnesota, but if they did, Oles would be the first to make sure everyone is on the same page so that they can get the title. (224 words)
The locker room is by far the most important part of any ISFL or DSFL team. If a rift were to form and divide the team, even if it was just between two players, I would immediately attempt to amend the situation. I would ask both sides to explain in detail what happened, and where the grievances lie. After listening, I would hopefully help the arguers understand why what they did might have been offensive or wrong. Philly is filled with wonderful people, so if any misunderstandings or arguments were to seriously start, this method I'm sure would be able to repair the teams morale and mend the division. If the problem still persisted, I would ask our GM's Pat and Cody to individually talk with those involved. As our respected GM's and father figures, I would absolutely trust them to be able to find the cause of the issues and fix the state of the locker room as they have already demonstrated they are capable of. If Pat or Cody were to reach out to any of us regarding our behavior, I know that we would immediately seek to change our ways and apologize to the rest of the team. Those of us in Philly really care for each other, and the underlying appreciation and love would easily overcome any intermediary between us.
The current General Manager of the New York Silverbacks just isn't doing enough. First off if your name is spelled Z-A-Y-N I think its understood that its pronounced with a long E at the end and A in the middle. There is no way you can pronounce it with a short A and no E at the end. Thats just barbaric. Second, his player Bob Roberts has a QB render for a safety. And apparently Kirk Cousins playing defensive back is a better player than whoever Colt Mendoza's cornerback render is playing their actual position. I guess thats more of a knock on Mendoza than on Kirk Cousins playing safety. That kinda brings us to a point we can all agree on though - Colt Mendoza is hot garbage. No argument about that in the New York locker room. He can't ever intercept enough passes to win corner back of the year. He's mostly just good as a tackling machine - or has been throughout his career - but this year his tackles declined. He gets a fair number of PDs but never can lead the league in them because he has a few games a year where he just waves at the ball as it goes over his head.
In the heat of training for this past season, tempers were running high on the Baltimore Hawks. After a not so great previous season, all of the players were feeling the pressure to have an infinitely better season to show the true strength of our team. However, with many major personalities on the team, there was bound to be petty arguments. Luke Quick, known for his one hand catches on the Hawks is partially known for his heated rivalry with teammate Busch Goose. The Goose, known for his incessant “Honks” were deemed frustrating and useless to Quick. Luke could hardly get any words in throughout training without Goose honking at him, causing Quick to lose his train of thought. In addition, Goose demands an exorbitant amount of breadcrumbs from Quick at every practice that has left Quick scrambling all over the DMV area just for a single crumb. This rivalry ultimately got to Quick, after being over an hour late to practice due to being blocked by the Presidential motorcade while attempting to get the goose authentic Georgetown breadcrumbs. When Quick got to practice, he threw the crumbs at goose and said certain phrases to not be repeated. The GMs, worried about the dynamic of the team, leaned on Chunt The Badger to ease the tension. Chunt took this as an opportunity to bond with his teammates over drinks in an effort to get to the root of the issue. After several rounds of Corona, the one armed WR and the flying RB were able to come to the conclusion that breadcrumbs from Baltimore will suffice (and Chunt will have to get some too.)
