WELCOME TO THE 2019 SCOUTING COMBINE!

position 2: (position), main focus: (trait here)

position 3: (position), main focus: (trait here)


Now, positions are still specific you aren't scouting O-line and D-line, you are scouting specific positions.

Traits are things like speed, hands, strength, run blocking, pass blocking, intelligence, throwing power, accuracy, etc.

(GM Lucas pulls up, paks the vehicle and steps out and realizes the parking lot is empty. He see's the janitor opening the doors to the combine. He grabs his laptop and a satchel filled with notes and paper work)

GM Lucas: the winning starts here....

(GM Lucas makes his way as he grabs the cold door handle and swings it open. The lights start to go on as all the concessions stands are opening. He walks trhough the halls and walkways and makes his way field level at the 50 yard line.) He looks around in awe of this opportunity. He see's a bunch of tables set up and walks towards them. He realizes he would rather be seated in the seats to see the entire field. He walks towards the entrance and walks into a row and starts to set up)

[GM Strike Guy arrives at the scene, taking in a deep breath as he walks in along with his coaching staff - a thing of note here is that they all seem to be all sporting aviator shades as they survey the scene and talk amongst themselves before taking their positions, beginning to survey the field and what is to come. Pulling out an iPad, GM Strike Guy begins to flip through certain screens as they wait for the action to begin]

GM GOOCH AND THE ST. PAUL LYNX STAFF COME IN THROUGH THE GATE. THE SECURITY GUARD SENDS THE STAFF ON AND STOPS GM GOOCH

GM Gooch: Is there a problem, sir?

Security Guard: Hey...I saw you on the TV in the APW!

GOOCH HEARS THE SOUTHERN DRAWL AND REALIZES HE IS TALKING TO A FELLOW ARKANSAWYER

Gooch: Yes sir. That was me many years ago. Lost a lot, but made good money, saved the farm, I need to get inside...

Security Guard (ignoring the plea): You was a hero to us tho! Look at you now...all prim and proper...you even...

SECURITY GUARD TAKES A BIG WHIFF

Security Guard: You even smell good now!

GM Gooch: Thanks...but, I have to be...

Security Guard: Now hold on, I has to stop every 10th person and make sure there is no weapons and I choose you...I'm yurr biggest fan, too...

GOOCH MAKES EYE CONTACT WITH SWOPE AND THEY BOTH SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS...GOOCH TEXTS GATES TO SEE IF HE CAN GET HELP AS GATES WAS A MORE FAMOUS WRESTLER...HELLPPPPP

Security Guard: Gotta put yurr phone up. This is official business...can I take a selfie to send to the folks back home...

DEJECTED GOOCH SMILES HOPING SOMEONE WILL HELP SO HE CAN GET INSIDE QUICKLY.

GM POWERS AND THE MICHIGAN STAFF ARRIVE TO THE COMBINE VIA UBER.  THEY BREEZE INTO THE FACILITIES PASSING GM GOOCH WHO IS BEING PATTED DOWN BY SECURITY.  GM GOOCH HAS A PLEADING LOOK ON HIS FACE, WHILE GM POWERS SIMPLY SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS IN A "WHAT CAN YOU DO?" EXPRESSION.

GM POWERS WALKS OVER TO GM'S LUCAS, JUSTIN, AND STRIKE.  HE TAKES NOTE OF GM KIRK SEATED BY HIMSELF, GIVING HIM A HEARTY WAVE FROM ACROSS THE BUILDING.

Good day for a combine, wouldn't you say fellas?

[GM Strike Guy's attention shifts from the iPad over to GM Powers]

"It's just nice to be back in the fold. Nice to see you again, Mike."

Post by: GM Lucas on December 30, 2017, 12:32:45 AM
GM Lucas: Absolutely, glad to finally make your acquaintance GM Powers

(GM Lucas extends his hand). Congrats on one hell of a run you had there.

(GN Lucas looks over GM Powers shoulder and smiles as he see's his staff finally arriving. He waves them down as they head his way)

GM Lucas: Mr. Powers, any reason why GM Gooch seems to be the only GM being patted down?

(GM Lucas looks at GM Powers as GM Powers is still waving at GM Kirk.) He looks at GM Strike Guys and notices his attention is back on his iPad. GM Lucas looks on and shrugs. He then calls his staff over as they walk over to where he set up and they start to talk among each other)

THE SOUND OF A HELICOPTER CAN BE HEARD AS IT MAKES IT WAY TOWARDS THE COMBINE. THE HELICOPTER LANDS AND OUT STEPS GM JON WITH HIS COACHING STAFF. HE SPOTS GM GOOCH WHO IS BEING MOLESTED BY SECURITY STAFF AND WALKS RIGHT ON BY. ONCE IN THE FACILITY, HE PICKS HIS SPOT OUT AND SETS UP CAMP.

Post by: GM Adam Wrong on December 30, 2017, 02:40:59 AM
GM Wrong pulls up in an Aston Martin Vanquish. Before he gets out the car he picks up a photo frame from the passenger seat and looks at it before sighing.

"Don't mess this up." He says to himself.

He places the frame down and we see it's the stock photo you get when you buy it in the frame. He climbs out the car and GM Wrong shields his eyes from the dust kicked up by the helicopter.

He walks up to the other GMs and smiles before taking a seat.

He gets out the truck and rolls over to the other GMs. 

Hey GM Wrong, Great to see you again,  You has one hell of a season. Wish you the best this season, if you need any help let me know

GM Wrong smiles as he sees his old friend and turns the handshake into a hug.

"Good to see you dude! Thanks. Hoping to find more gold here this year as well. Best of luck."

GM Garcia arrives with a short, stumbling man who vaguely resembles one of the pigs from Animal Farm, shortly after they have learnt to walk upright. The two are joined by the Miami coaching staff and take a seat as far from anything labelled 'Nighthawks' as they can.

THE GUARD HAS DONE HIS DUE DILIGENCE TO ENSURE THAT MR. GOOCH HAS NO WEAPONS AND HAS ASKED IF GOOCH CAN TAKE SOME PICTURES WITH HIM. GOOCH DOES SO QUICKLY AND IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE HE FINDS HIS STAFF NEXT TO THE STAFF FROM RAPID CITY AND GM GATES

Gates, don't you check your phone? What entrance did you use?

GOOCH LAUGHS IT OFF AND IS GLAD HE DIDNT MISS ANY DRILLS

Gooch, glad to see you made it out of that alive. I walked through the same entrance but didn’t get any hassle from the guards.

GM Justin approaches the group of fellow Cms.

"Fellas, wanted to let you guys know Kidwell is on the block for a first round pick and $2mm in PR."
Title: Re: 2019 HIFL SCOUTING COMBINE
Post by: GM Kirk on December 30, 2017, 08:40:07 PM
GM Kirk approaches the group after overhearing GM Justin's announcement.

"You guys could spend a 1st round pick and $2mm PR for a 35yr old WR who is already demanding $4mm in PR, or you could make a similar offer to me for Christopher Mackey who is only 26, is about $4mm cheaper and is only getting $2mm in PR."
Title: Re: 2019 HIFL SCOUTING COMBINE
Post by: GM Strike Guy on December 30, 2017, 09:04:20 PM
[GM Strike Guy does blink at the sudden offers in place]

"Sorry boys, but unless anyone has a way for me to trade up into this draft, I'm probably not interested. And keep the cockfighting to a minimum too, if you would? It was bad enough that three of you damn near embarrassed yourselves here last year."

[He then goes back to joining the Milwaukee coaching staff as they begin looking over the activities that are starting to take place]

Post by: GM Kirk on December 30, 2017, 10:00:42 PM
We could exchange pleasantries all day, but that would be bloody boring. Might as well get some business done while we're all in one place and the press are distracted by the rookies.

Post by: GM Black Death on December 30, 2017, 10:56:15 PM
Well said , Kirk ,  How about your WR Michael Griswold... any interest in moving him

Post by: GM Pancho on December 30, 2017, 11:16:32 PM
GM Pancho arrives out in the parking lot sharing a ride with Scouting Director Stephen Guerrero in a classic 65 Chevy Impala Lowrider.  The color is a mint green with leather white interior.  He greets the rest of his new coaching staff out in front of the building handing them their position assignments and explaining what he is looking for.  Coach Rudino gives him a tip of the visor while Coach Singleton and Coach Knotts each go to their respective sides of the stadium.


Continuing to walk through the hall GM Pancho see's a security guard preparing to wand him.  GM Pancho sticks his index finger out giving him the no finger wag as he casually walks by the security staff.

He notices the other GM's but makes it a point to walk over to GM Gates first.

Damn fine season you had Gates.  Congratulations

Nothing was more disappointing about my season that we didn't meet in the Impact Bowl ... and that GM Powers found success.  Lucky for me you pulled through and once I find GM Jon ... annual Christmas Hall of Champions Card for GM Powers? You still in?

Title: Re: 2019 HIFL SCOUTING COMBINE
Post by: GM Kirk on December 30, 2017, 11:37:03 PM
Obviously, I'd only trade one of Mackey or Griswold but I'll consider offers for both. I'm just looking to shake up my offence a little.
Title: Re: 2019 HIFL SCOUTING COMBINE
Post by: GM Gates on December 30, 2017, 11:37:38 PM
Thank you, Pancho.

I think that sounds like a fantastic idea. It’s good to keep traditions going.

"Ahh... The #1 pick, due to the terms of the deal, I can't say who's picking first at this time, but I can say I was very impressed with a lot of the offers I received."

Post by: GM Lucas on December 31, 2017, 01:53:19 PM
(With a hectic 24 hours GM Lucas feels that now it is the right time to leave. He shakes hands with his coaches who all seem to have weird smirks on their face as they look at one another and GM Lucas.)

GM Lucas; Growing pains that I do not intent to repeat. Glad I was able to get us back most of what we lost, or at least enough to make some noise in the draft. I'm hoping my gut feeling about Larue and Davis was better than my gut feeling for Kidwell. Thank you coaches, your insight and information were amazing and will really be a guiding factor in the upcoming draft. Coach Munoz please pay attention to your cell I'm going to text you in a bit about our #4 pick. Thank you gentlemen

(GM Lucas weary and exhausted heads out and to his vehicle)

[After having seen some of the drills and having disappeared into a room with his coaching staff, GM Strike Guy emerges out of it...exchanging pleasantries on his way out with wide receiver Steven Jackson and his father, Lavar, prior to the respective parties going their separate ways. GM Strike Guy lets out a sigh as he joins some of the GM's on the field while the Jacksons have gone in the opposite direction]

HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO WHERE HIS STAFF ARE WAITING, HIS BLUETOOTH HEADSET ALREADY IN HIS EAR AND TABLET IN HAND AS HE STRIDES ACROSS.
