Let's not then. As I am happy to do, I have my faith in you my friend.

Before I lock in, is there anything else?

Las Vegas are probably going to be favourites but we have a fully fit QB, and the top forbthe receivers.

Is there any way we can adjust our game accordingly?

Let's drill that into them then. Anything else my friend?

S10 WEEK 18 - PLAYOFF W/ BYE

1. With the playoffs starting, what is your number one priority as the GM?
Make my players know that winning our division may be an achievement in itself but this year we want so much more.

2. Who was your regular season MVP for the league, and also on your own team?
It's tough to single any player out on our team but the likes of Sergio Garrett, Junior Jones, Jerry Jarvis and Ervin Edward all produced when needed. Odell Crocker really stepped up when it mattered and Michel Hodge filled the gap left by Large-Cox magnificently.

League Wide I think it's hard to look past Waylon Hagan who has been a force yet again.

3. Who do you expect to face next week when you host your first playoff game?
I fully expect lady luck to not be on our side and for it to be Rapid City coming to town. To be the best you have to beat the rest though so cest la vie

4. What do you plan to do this week, will your players get some time off?
I plan to make sure fitness is top priority for our boys. We get run ragged as you saw again from running up a huge lead and then sitting back a little. I'll be working with Roderick who for the record should be a no brainer for coach of the year, and we shall work on a few drills. We will try and fit a little celebration in

It's good...

If you rest this week, when will you be back do you feel?

Lincoln Pride cut Scott Olds from their minor league affiliate.

Lincoln Pride sign Scott Olds to a 1 year, 250k deal

Understood. I have full faith in you mate and whatever will be will be.

Scott Olds and James T Crain please.

Guys, we have a quandary in QB and I need to speak to you about it. Right now, I want to move Scott up to the main roster from the minors but to do that I have to cut him.

Would he be ok with me cutting him from the team and then immediately re-signing him to a 250k contract until the end of the season

Do we have a deal?

I know Carl wants to play... but I want to limit him a little and not push him.

What I will do is speak to Scott and his agent and explain what I want to do and keep him in the loop. Before I do, is there anything else to address? I understand RC always play a fast game with is, is that something we can combat?

The only thing holding us back this season is luck. How's Carl... I know he's doubtful...

Failing that, could we haul our rookie up from developmental?

LOCK IN

Hopefully we can keep that going into the next big 3.

How's Carl and the other QBs?

Denver Peaks regrettably terminate the contract of Pete Moss

1. Who was your star player this week? Who disappointed?
I'm not going to single players out but when it comes to performances recently, everybody has pulled together when injuries have reared their ugly head. Everybody has stepped up and everybody has made their mark on the team. In terms of disappointment, I'm not the type of GM that scapegoats players...

2. How would you evaluate your team over the last few weeks?
Outstanding and heartwarming. They are showing hunger and passion to win this division and they are looking forward to the next match

3. With three games remaining, what is the plan to end the season on a high note?
It's going to be tough. It's going to be a run in that is unenviable. We are planning to use the momentum of the past couple of weeks to spur us on though to keep it going.

4. What do you have to do to win the game this week?
Kansas City are coming to town and we need to maintain the momentum and realise that keeping on top of the division is harder than getting there but they have everything in their arsenal to do just that

Well go with your gut. If you want to try a couple of run plays to see how they pan out then go for it. I have my up most faith in you.

Lock in

Is his influence still helping the boys and his recovery?

S10 WEEK 14

1. Talk us through your Week 12 Game, What did you like, what didn't you like?
I liked that first half... I love the result... I wasn't a fan of the ballsy comeback but I'm glad we held on...

2. Talk about anything interesting you around the league...
I love listening to Ace Profits warble on to try and garner attention for himself. If he wants to try and move attention away from his own franchise and drive fans away, he's going the right way about it.


3. Talk about your game this upcoming week, what do you need to do to win?

Crunch game at Seattle. I hate the term "must win" but if we want to be a contender for the impact bowl, then we have to do just that...

Denver Peaks are delighted to announce the following signings:

Scott Moore - SG - Has signed a 1 year deal for 500k
Jamar Oconner - PF - Has signed a 1 year deal for 500k

Denver Peaks are delighted to re-sign SF Dusty Nurse on a 2 year, 10million contract

Denver Peaks regrettably Amnesties the contract of Centre, Keith Brown

Denver Receives: Bobby Searcy

San Diego Receieves: S5 Round Two Draft Pick

Confirmed

With the draft coming to an end, would you like to discuss players we should considering endeavouring to hold on to?

I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk to all of you playing at Quarter Back and congratulate you for last week.

I'm glad that you all have such a good working relationship that you help each other along to be better.

I'm proud to have all of you on my squad

We just need to make sure those stats get worse for them then. I'll talk to the QBs collectively

Anything else?

I shall let him know afterwards.

It seemed to be a good performance. Anything will need to watch out for next week?

S10 WEEK 12 / 13

1. Talk us through your Week 12 Game, What did you like, what didn't you like?
I liked grabbing another home win when we knew how important it was to do so. I love the impact that Carl Bloom despite not playing. I note that yet again, when it's negative surrounding that lad, you are quick to spew out a negative news story about him and others but a positive story and a positive impact on the team sees tumbleweed go through here doesn't it?

2. What did you think of the All-Star skills challenges? 
It was an entertaining set of events but I was more focussed on making sure that we are prepared going forward at such a crucial time of the season.

3. What did you think of the All-Star Game itself?
Again, it was entertaining but I'm just glad that the guys who did feature remained fit and healthy going forward into games that really matter.

4. With the Minor League Call Up Window here once again, do you plan on calling up any players?
That is something that I will discuss with the coaches but adding a new player in who hasn't played at this level could be risky especially when you will have expectations for them to play at a certain level.

5. Talk about your game this upcoming week, and how do you feel about the final five games of the regular season?
Portland come to town and the pressure with injuries will play on my mind as well as the need to make sure we keep pushing on for a place in the playoffs.
