NSFL: Never Something Fun League?

[Kendrick]

In all fairness that logo is a flat image, so it's not like it doesn't deserve some criticism.

I'd love for someone, anyone, to prove me wrong. I just don't think you will. Please direct your shit talking at me, and not my teammates.

Well, I can say that things go in waves. I do think that there will ALWAYS be people being made fun of. Competition breeds boasting and trash talk, and moreso online. I can tell you that I am on discord a LOT, and I just don't see anyone caring about that. Yeah, it'll be mentioned again, but now it's just part of the league history.

But I think a certain level of thin-skinned-ness is a factor as well. The Wraiths got shit on pretty hard for trading away Smallwood, and still do. Hell, I join in on it.

As I mentioned in the article, I have no problem with some good, old-fashioned shit talking. You however, seem to go out of your way to shit all over the Hawks every opportunity you get. I wouldn't bother wasting my time looking through your media post history, but I would wager a large portion are directed squarely at my team, and not in a positive way. I don't need all rainbows and puppys but, come on man. Clearly, you seem like an intelligent guy. Maybe cut the number in half. You certainly aren't the only one though.

The Deflatees was, in part, about you drafting Ricardo Sandoval, not about your team. A lot of other people got it in that thread as well. I know Ricardo is on your team but I personally put him in a separate category given our friendship.

Grading the Draft focuses on every team that drafted a top-10 pick, not just the Hawks

Wraiths Preseason Predictions insults four teams, none of which are the Hawks

Scandal in Baltimore covers the immigration status of Ricardo Sandoval - if you're offended by that, I'm not sure what to tell you.

In my opinion that's a decent distribution of offense for every team, although I'll probably be giving the Ricardo focus a rest, which will lower the amount of anti-Hawks material I produce.

Was that your main concern, that I was focusing too heavily on the Hawks? If so, I believe the situation will resolve itself. It is not in my interest to drive anyone away from the league.

Getting shit talked for a bad trade and getting baseless accused of cheating constantly are two totally different things.

This is kinda what I mean. You realize that even you have admitted how quick a trigger you have, right? I think a lot of jokes turn into serious arguments because of how you react to them.

[Bzerkap]

So is it the accusations of cheating or what? I'm kind of confused what it is that is causing this kind of discussion?

I don't think anyone was really shitting on the Hawks with the logo. I think it was mostly just a joke because there was an announcement about a new logo and new team colors and it generated a lot of hype, but when it was actually revealed not much had changed. So it was more a reaction against the let down of high expectations than your team specifically.

Honestly I envy your team a lot because you have some good characters out there who produce a lot of fun content that gets people talking and I like to think I'm friendly with everyone on your team.

I guess I'm kind of just rambling here, but what is the true problem? I don't know if you guys are the most shit talked team but you might be the most talked about team because you have really active members.

It wasn't too long ago that everyone shat all over the Legion

Hmmm. I'm sure the Hawks are a bit annoyed and have probably been in the spot light a bit more than they'd like due to the various "controversies" that took place last season. All of that sucks and a lot of the issues were out of your control. However, if you didn't have the TPE stuff and other issues, people would find other stuff to rag on you about because you guys won a lot of games last season.

Winning breeds content in pretty much everything where other people are losing. Just take your blows and dish em out too, because screw them you're winning! I've personally made several Hawks jokes, but I've made similar jokes about every other team in the league. Additionally, I probably make the most jokes about my own team and its players. I think the vast majority of Gibsongate jokes another other related things are good natured and people don't think the Hawks are cheaters, bad people, or anything else.

I'd recommend you take a step back and just realize people are just participating in standard friendly banter. Don't take it to heart and just keep doing your thing. Get more of your guys on discord and whenever Gibson or anything else comes up, just dish it out to other teams.

Here's a starter kit:

Legion-Holy shit. This team is literally garbage. They're so bad their GM bet another team he would go to their team if his team didn't win two games over the next two seasons. Now, the GM wanting out is bad enough. But get this, he might actually lose that bet and leave his team AND that would probably make his team better!

Yeti-Remember how bad the Legion are? The Yeti got knocked out of the playoffs by the very same team. Lol. The Yeti's locker room is so boring the rumor is there are only two pages of posts and they're all just big bot talking to himself.

Wraiths-Can you say choke artists? These guys are the Bengals of the NSFL. Great WR, solid OL, and a bipolar QB. Their star linebacker is always getting in fights with everybody and their CB won't shut up. Plus, they hype up a rookie WR and ship him off to Legion 2.0 in San Jose? Take your pick!

SaberCats-I think Legion 2.0 pretty much covers it. People are jumping off of this team like it's the Titanic. How many games did they lose in a row? Their best defender would rather play in Philadelphia.

Liberty-This team started with a holdout. That player made half of the players on their rival shitty paint "tshirt" sigs and some of them are still using them just to shit on the team. Their logo looks like Taco Bell and they're the most optimistic group of losers I've ever seen.

Otters-Their #1 pick and Lord and Savior, Master of the Sim, who forgot more than you could ever forget forgot his password to the site and founded a whole new league. Their QB throws interceptions faster than the Liberty FO serves up Tacos. Their next GMs stepped down for the following reasons: I'd rather GM a DSFL team, and I have school or something. The team is an EFL feeder team for fucks sake. Their mascot is an Otter and they had the shittiest player in the league hold out for them this season.

Outlaws-Where to begin. They only win cuz they sim. The whole team is 11 years old. King Bronko is trash. The offense is trash. Tim Pest might be illiterate. They traded their star WR1 and he almost retired and #Drama and then they did it again! Half their team is in the HO so that's got to be some form of cheating too. Lol Rashad couldn't tackle a scarecrow (also remember the player's union dictatorship!). And one GM is literally giving the other a blowjob in the front office RIGHT NOW (this is true!).

My point is. We're all here for fun, just dish it out. As the person that gets accused of cheating on a daily basis. If you're not cheating, who the hell cares?!

I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from @Bzerkap 's idol:

Yeah, like two minutes ago?
