  • I'd Rather Be Fiction - version 2.0

    SYRACUSE NORTHERN SUE SHIBA, IFL, MTL & BUF.

    DDT promises more suits to come."I'm a very litigious person"


    In a move believed to be unprecedented in fake sports Little Rock GM DDT has brought very real legal action against his current league, former league, French Canada and Western NY. "I want to make it very clear", DDT began, "this is not about anger, although my heart swells with malice, this is about doing the decent thing."

    He continued, "The Syracuse Northern were and will again be the greatest thing that has ever happened to fake football. Playing in the Fish Bowl was an obvious choice. Having a fish for a mascot and giving all fake media releases about fictional players in a simulated football league the title I'd Rather Be Fiction was clever. The nickle helmet? Okay, that was a simple byproduct of my homemade MS Paint logo looking slightly less like Kermit the Frog's aborted fetus on a dull background. I and many others grew to love it. The true genius of the brand was the nickname. It's unique as far as I can tell. I've looked, too. The Northern Pike even has an awesome poem about it. Plus, north is a direction on a compass and stuff. Syracuse being known for cold and snow, that's double genius. It's like Isaac Newton and MacGuyver had a baby in my head."

    "My issues with the IFL began when cringer came to shiba and renamed the Kentucky Colonels the Spelunkers, immediately I might add. Good name, makes sense, right? The logo was a guy with a mining helmet on lookin' up another fellers asshole. When I was assigned the Toadies I was told you have to wait a year. In the league cringer founded. Scandalous! That's collusion. That's cahoots. That's favoritism. That's not making me feel special. I wipe my ass with the league constitution! Mr. Suicane tear down that wall let your people be free!"

    "Look, shiba was a great league. True nobody knew how to game plan (I still don't) we constantly bitched about the game's lack of updates, I allegedly made 10 or so GM's rage quit and sometimes new GM's got their facebook linked. There was also a lot of porn and name calling. I guess you had to be there. Then the founder and the guy who took over started having these looong discussions about films that 99% planet doesn't care about. I'm convinced it ended the league prematurely. People don't play this game to chat with art fags. They play to have me call them a toilet fart and tell them their FB profile pic makes them look even douchier.

    "Buffalo has the Bills they could have had the Northies (pronounced NOR-theez) with me putting up half the cash on a new stadium. Do I need to elaborate?"

    "Montreal? Am I alone here hating the French? At some point in IFL history some guy decided he wanted to put his team in Canada. Since there are no Canadian cities in game Syracuse was wiped off the face of the fake earth and Montreal was born. This prevents me from marketing my fake product in the way I intended and have made a large investment in. Is this Communist China? I thought this was America? Which brings me to my final point."

    "Imperial is an awful name for a for a collection of 32 individuals. It should be the D(emocratic)FL or better yet DDTFL. Nice ring, huh? I won't process or update anything. I might answer the occasional Yes/No PM if your question isn't too stupid. Or any stupid. And I feel like it.

    The main reason I wrote this. I've been sitting on these all season and I wanted them to see the light of day. I'm not a big fan of the Under Armor unis. Think Ohio St. helmets/pants, but nickle obviously. I'd like the numbers to be consistent with the block S but that took forever to draw and it still ain't right. Who amongst you is?

      Thanks, Hoosier. Not gonna lie I still prefer the older uniforms but those look MUCH better than I would've predicted. I guess the unis I saw here and on TV with tons of black informed my thoughts.

      Logo looks really good. I'd have thought the S would get skewed badly. You're awesome.

      I re-read my post I hope nobody is taking it seriously.

        yeah..it's all in fun. One of the funniest posts I've read in a long time. i tried something with that one time, using irony like Swift did in his famous treatise A Modest Proposal, but I used a quote from Hitler about taking out the artists first...

        and got banned from a few leagues because they thought I was a Nazi...

        go figure. lol.

            Those colors are almost as gay as Montreals. There is your collusion. And know that Tigerhawks love to feast on fish.

              Well Tigershawks clearly have some issues if they think a 3 lb bird is gonna feast on 50 lb fish. Do they also think Notre Dame is going to join the Big 10? Maybe I should rebrand as the Cows or Catatonic 50's Housewives?

                ND wished it could join the B1G. But that day will come.
                Tigerhawks are large birds that dominate the area where they live. No matter if there are condoms or fish or glorified privates wandering around.

                  I almost forgot about the Tulsa Cows.

                    I didn't know there was a Tulsa Cows. I was referring to Tarcone's thoughts being all bovine and ignorant.

                    In my vision the purple was more of an accent. Nickle & Green; Nickle 'masks. Hoosiers just a flamboyant guy, I guess I need to start incorporating those colors into the LR unis.

                          male/female is not really distinguished in Tulsa.

                            Hated that logo. Thought cringer was going to have a cow when I changed the nickname.

                              Evidently Tulsa was also the Twisters...ala Hammering Johnson...and even the Eagles before that...it almost rivals Fresno (Kings, Chaos, California Heroes, Warthogs) and Oakland (Assassins, Raiders, Owls, Raiders, Devil Dogs, Assassins) - I like that symmetry of Oakland's progression. I was thinking it would be cool to have a history of each franchise with change of ownership, team name, and logo changes.
