2036-20: Talons Don't Feel Like Writing Anything

Post by jiminyhopkins » Tue Nov 06, 2018 1:53 pm

Phoenix, AZ--

Every time the Talons sit down at the keyboard to do a Team News, they just don't have the motivation.

Sure they could write about the trades they did, and how they probably got the worse side of both of them. After all, Tu-fu Yong is a star, and Voitto Stromberg, though good, doesn't quite measure up. And then thay could tell you about how the club just couldn't find playing time for Martin Marin, and dealt him for an IFA that probably already has his ticket punched for lumpville.

The Talons also called up a couple interesting prospects in Arturo Barron and Weaver Ripley, but someone already wrote about them in the Debut article. Those guys have a lot of power and can play defense, the Talons will tell you, but the naysayers will talk about how the team should have waited until next May to call them up, for some reason. The Talons weren't clever enough to figure that one out, obviously.

Nope, no matter what the Talons want to write about, it just doesn't seem worth it. All of the injuries (which are still going on btw) have fully deflated and dejected the team and its fanbase. So there you have it. A lost season, bad trades, and mismanagement in calling up players. No different than any other year, after all.

In conclusion, the Talons have decided to end this Team News with a number of "sad" emojis for your Schadenfreude pleasure.

I know the feeling, after last year's great burst my depression has got the better of me this season and I have just had no motivation either. So at the end of this week I will participate in the great PP sack race in an attempt to meet my PP minimum :violin:

I will get there and hopefully be more energized next season

I’m more excited to write about other teams players than my own right now.

I do find it's good to step outside and do stuff about the division and the league as a whole every now and again. Just clears the cobwebs a bit...plus I get to keep up with the league a bit better.
