READY TO BE GRADED
It has been a while since I did one of these, so ask away!

How do you feel about the future in Baltimore?
Our offense was run by a rookie QB last year and to be honest it was a shit show. I am pretty sure he will be doing way better in the upcoming seasons. Yesterday we lost our star running back to free agency, but I believe Jimbo is ready to step up his game. We got Ahri last year to help us out with our passing game, Maddox is at the peak of his career, Alto is old but still got that fire in him to lead the offense. So overall, I am pretty optimistic about our offense for the upcoming seasons. Our secondary is the best in the league, period. I don't see that changing anytime soon. However last season showed us how important Mbanefo and Trout were to our defense. We need to fix our line this year if we want to be competitive. There are a few prospects in the upcoming draft that could help us do that. Brand had a decent rookie season as a kicker last season. He is a hard worker and I believe he will out perform himself next season. If we don't fuck our drafts up, we should be back at the top in a few seasons.

How do you feel about Yellowknife denying you a playoff spot?
It was not another team (whether Yellowknife, Chicago or Philly) who denied us a spot. We did not perform as well as we did last year and that hurt us the most. The expansion draft or the retirement of Trout did not help either. The good thing is we learn from our mistakes and keep working hard to fix them. We haven't had a first round pick in the last couple drafts and therefore this upcoming one is a huge opportunity for us to fix the holes in the team. I am looking forward to the upcoming seasons and giving the Wraiths a hard time once again!

How’d you like your Leaf-Cola?
I do not drink soda, but I can tell you what I like to drink. I drink like 4 liters of cold water everyday. I love coffee and drink at least two cups per day. I usually take my coffee black but if it is shitty coffee I like to mix a splash of half and half in it. I also love drinking San Pellegrino after meals and sometimes like to put a slice of lemon in it. When it comes to hard drinks, I try to stick to sugar free ones like whiskey and gin. My absolute favorite cocktail is definitely gin and diet tonic with lots of lime and mint.

Should leaf be the center piece of Canada?
I can't talk about Canada, but I think Leaf is already a center piece in Yellowknife. Yellowknife's defense is one of the best in the league and the scary thing is they are very young. So they will probably keep being one of the best defenses for the seasons to come and Leaf is definitely an important piece to that defense. Who knows what will happen during the free agency period next year but Leaf will still be a center piece for the defense he plays for.

What pieces do you feel you can add in the draft for Baltimore to have greater success this coming season?
Our immediate need is defensive line for sure. There are a few prospects that I think will be perfect for us. It all depends on how the free agency goes though. S17 Draft is important but I think the S18 draft will be the one that will change the league as a whole. If we can fix our defensive line this year (via the draft or free agency), we can focus on linebackers, running backs and tight ends the following year. One thing is for sure, we don't need any quarterbacks or secondaries. I am looking forward to the draft!

What work are you personally doing to improve Baltimore's playoff chances?
There is only one thing you can really do as a player, and that is to keep working. I practice hard every week and try to get some cutting edge equipment each season. I also try to help out my teammates as much as I can. I like to take minimum contracts to help my team with the salary cap. I have personal wealth through multiple business ventures, so I do not need a huge contract to pay the bills. I am very committed to Baltimore and our general managers know that. I think that helps them make draft and trade decisions.

How do you take your eggs?
I love eggs! I am not a talented cook but eggs are just so easy to make. I usually go for scrambled since I think that is the easiest one to cook. However, my favorite is definitely sunny side up with a side of bread to pop that thing. Whenever I try to cook it myself, I end up popping the yolk while cooking.
