11. Write about your team’s biggest rivalry and what makes it so fierce. Is the competition founded in statistics and the team’s recent performance, or is it a rivalry that developed over time during the team’s history that would exist regardless of statistics?
If you asked any Dallas birddog alumnus drafted between S22 and ~S28 who our biggest rival was, pretty much any one of them would tell you that by far our fiercest rival is the London Royals, our fellow S22 DSFL expansion sister team. Over the last few seasons, due to a few factors which I’m going to talk about shortly, the clarity and fierceness of the rivalry has dulled (BECAUSE LONDON SUX NOW LMAP /s) for a few reasons I’ll probably cover in this PT. I think if you asked some of our more recent draftees, they’d tell you Tijuana is our fiercest rival because we’ve experienced a lot of particularly tough losses in the playoffs against them. However, because I’m a season 25 birddog, and because I’m the GM and I guess get to call the shots on these sorts of things, I will be focusing on the London Royals in this point task. The rivalry between Birddog and Royal is something that has existed for as long as either team has. We’re not even division rivals, but nonetheless, our two teams came into existence at the same time, so a pretty natural competitive rivalry came to be, and the expansion GMs/the S22 draft class for both teams took the idea and ran with it. By the time us S25 guys came into the league, the rivalry was very much established, and speaking of taking things and running with them, I think S25 took that to a whole new level. There was a good chunk of time where a lot of us legitimately didn’t like each other, and that was made especially known in ISFL Twitter feuds, media articles, and even the occasional minor locker room brawl. In my eyes, and the eyes of many old birddogs/old Royals, that kind of stuff is in the past. Believe me, we still don’t like the Royals in Dallas, and I KNOW those guys in London can’t stand the birddogs, but it’s not at all personal. In fact, at least in my eyes, and the eyes of some of my dear pals from London that I’ve spoken to about this topic, there’s a lot of respect between the birddogs and the Royals, especially at the top/within the team war rooms and management. I’ve gone from cringing at the mention of the Royals to genuinely admiring what they’ve been able to put together in terms of LR culture, championship wins, draft success, getting their prospects so damn engaged in the league, and pretty much anything else you can admire about a rival. Believe me, winning against London still hits different, it’s a better feeling than most regular season wins, but at the same time, I love the hell out of those guys. Bottom line, I’m thankful the London Royal organization has made me so much more engaged in this league by giving me an opponent worth hating on.

17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. No graphics option available here.
So the tight fisted city of Dallas finally approved mine and @Asked Madden's stadium proposals eh? Well, hold onto your socks Dallasonians, because we're about to put the state of Texas on the map. The first, and by far the most important change to the stadium will be the addition of our Canine Companions program. With the purchase of a ticket, each spectator will be paired with a dog from the Dallas Birddogs Animal Rescue program for the duration of the game. "What if I don't want to watch the game with a dog?" you may be asking yourself, and to that, I'd of course have to say "then don't come to sim football games." Our new stadium will be equipped with multiple state of the art dog parks, training facilities, and kibble buffets, because we take care of the homies. Also I guess our stadium will have some stuff that benefits the fans too - namely, FREE onsite parking underwritten by an anonymous but generous benefactor definitely not named r0tzbua. Because the Dallas Birddogs care about their fans, we will also be fully revamping concession prices to savagely undercut the rest of the league. Dallas Birddog hot dogs will be more affordable and more delicious than any other DSFL team's hot dogs, and that is a promise that the team is prepared to back up. (225 words)
