*middle finger to the engine*

Thanks for the o-line. I'll do the energy on that and cut downs later.

smh

My O-Line is s*** too so I also stick my middle finger to the engine. Now I know what to call this. An engine.

Rule number 1 of MFN: Don't give Smirt extra motivation :D

He's already tough enough to beat

If the forum posts are anything to go by, giving Smirt more motivation is like pouring a water bottle into the ocean

Forum post example:

I come off a game and my o-line is ripped apart, team in tatters. How do you deal with it. How you do get the energy? Either you a) give up, let it be and take the hit - the string of L's or you combat it by putting on 2pac war music and firing yourself up via the forum.

Another example:

Facing another elite GM and I know they want badly to knock me off my pedestal. They're going to come at me with infinite angry energy to humiliate me. How do I match it? Only way to do it is to get your emotion levels up through the roof. If you got a GDB like a Tasmanian Devil all hyped up to take me down, lathered in a fury and I'm in a woosah state - I'll get pummeled and pummeled badly.

Being the #1 target sucks. I have to play with an edge.

I don’t give a flying f*** about anyone else and their motivations when my team is playing like absolute s***.

This is why MFN-# leagues died: asking for too much work/energy spent while taking away joy.

Having to discern the 60 to 53 player cuts and who is active/inactive while having to not play your mega stars due to injury. More amount of time I put in to get through it, the more of a quiet fury I develop that will transfer over into preparing for Game #1.

You can't ask for hard work and then take the joy away. A lot of the time when I had many teams I'd hit abandon to teach JDB a lesson.

No one ever hits likes on my posts because I'm the game's Bad Guy for everyone but I always bring the truth.

Effort level vs. injuring players. You're not going to give the effort if your main players/elites are constantly being injured. You'll eventually leave the league and here we are with the state of MFN.

The 100% injury rate can go f*** itself.

Now that I'm actually in the league and looking at it...

I put in a ton of effort to get through Preseason Games #1 through #4 and then I'm left with this - injury wise.

The disrespect level is off the charts. I honestly should abandon all leagues and leave the game. It's not cool to have a team enter a season compromised when you demand 4 separate scouting scenarios/game planning with a 100% injury rate leading up to it.

I'm going to humiliate AI by not allowing a first down in the next game. One caveat being I can't control a penalty called. However, I've done it before and I'll do it again. Due to my team's injury status...I can't go for the kill shot and c-note 'em with 100 points, therefore, I'll hold them without a single first down.

This is personal.
