Season 1 Walter Payton Man of the Year

While there are no awards this season for statistically related awards (due to lack of stat tracking), There is one award I want to give out besides the top 25 players; The season’s annual Walter Payton Man of the Year. 

This award symbolizes individuals who went above and beyond in terms of bettering the league. I have three individuals who I feel are worthy of this award.  Whether it be media content, doing their job in regards to their role, or being a vocal leader for change, these individuals should be recognized for their commitment to the league. You guys helped pave the way which can make the league grow, and for that, I thank you. 

 

Brownies

Brownies stepped us as intern commissioner when I suddenly retired. He quickly went to work in terms of finishing the season and put together a solid work plan going into Season 2. Before that, he was a BOG who handled complaints/appeals and a GM for the Infamous Panthers (before he left his original team). Brownies deserve this award for his hard work, leadership, and vision to carry on the league. 

 

Kuhrow

Kuhrow is currently our VFLPA President and oversees issues with player rights. He ensures players are equal and make sure their voices are heard. Before this, Kuhrow was pretty much a vocal leader to push for important changes to our inaugural rulebook. While I found him expressing his concern to be a pain in my ass, he made good and valid points and proven that the “old” way wasn’t necessarily the best. He was pretty much an extra GM for the Cowboys and I strongly believe a lot of the team’s success was through him. 

 

Th3 R3alest 260

In terms of media content, Realest took the initiative to learn how to create media content for the site. He was also a person who expressed criticism when needed and honestly showed me the light to not have James Smith as the commissioner. While he and I don’t see eye to eye with my abrupt retirement, I value the work he has put in to help create content. Creating content in the league helps not only boost conversation between players but from an outsider looking in, they can see how engaging this league can be. 

 

In the upcoming days, these players will beable to see this trophy present on their player profile indicated by

Season 1 award information

Awards will be a little tricky this season due to roughly half the league submitting stats and out of the third who did, only half are consistent with stat capturing. Here is how we will do the awards.

Rule Changes

With the season already being half way through, I took some time to send a survey out to the owners and players of the league to revisit some of the rules. Below each question is a response from both owners and the general player base. The way that I will rule these changes are as follows:

I will compare both survey responses. 

If the owner responses are too close to call, I will use the data from the player survey to determine if a rule is changed or kept as is. 

Owners

Players

Verdict

1.2 Positions (Defense)

With the owner vote being tied, I looked at the player results and majority voted to keep the rule as is. No change is needed. 

 

2.1 Chewing Clock

With no vote winning over 60% majority, I looked at the player results and majority voted to keep the rule as is. No change is needed. 

 

2.2 Throwing outside the numbers

The ruling remains the same but with the addition of this: If a QB is throwing on the run and the animation takes the QB on the outside of the numbers, the pass is deemed legal. Any part of the body must be on the numbers for this to be legal (previously, half the body must be on the numbers). If the WHOLE body is outside the numbers on a throw on the run animation, its an illegal pass. Throwing outside the numbers is looked at when the ball is no longer connected to the passer. 

 

2.2.1 QB Running
No majority owner vote. Player vote deems to remain as is. No Rule change needed. 

 

2.2.2 Spamming of Plays
Majority on both sides to keep as is. No rule change needed. 

 

2.2.5 Gadget Plays
Majority on both sides to keep as is. No rule change needed.

 

2.2.6 Dropbacks
Majority on both sides to keep as is. No rule change needed.

 

 

2.2.8 Looping
Both sides deemed to keep looping the same but to add the following: You may not engage and disengage with a blocker then use the Speed Boost (A Button) to run around the blocker. To disengage with a blocker, a pass move is to be used, the user cannot back out of the pass block then speed boost around the blocker. This was considered a loophole in the rulebook. 

 

Ban the 2-4-5 Defense? 
Since player vote was even, I looked at the owner vote and it was anonymous. 2-4-5 defense formation is banned for the remainder of the season. Will add to the banned plays section of the rulebook.

 

Expand players games per week? 
This was essentially brought up in terms of combatting the huge amount of blacklists this season. Only management can play up to 5 games a week if needed to not forfeit. If reporting stats, only the first four games maybe reported. The fifth game player stats cannot be reported. 

 

Should QBs with Escape Artist only allow to take off if there is pressure?

Both sides agree that this should be a rule. This will be a new rule created in the rulebook stating the following: QBs with escape artist cannot abuse the ability by hiking and immediately running (Unless a designed QB run) or running to the numbers and waiting for a route to develop then take off running if needed. The purpose of escape artist is to escape incoming pressure and if no pressure is in the area, the User should not spam the ability. 

 

Should we end the season early? (8 out of 9 owners need to be on board for this).

Since its almost a spilt decision by the players and owners were all not in agreement, we will resume the season to the full length of 4 weeks. No changes to be made.

 

 

 

 

Thank you all for taking your time in giving your input. Its greatly appreciated. These rules will go into affect starting now (10/3/2021) Please use this material to familiarize yourself with the changes. For the free text responses, I plan on bringing this up to staff and the owners.

Week 2 Power Rankings

Week 2 of the VFL has concluded. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has participated thus far players and staff. I understand the difficulties that have occurred throughout the week. We are officially halfway through the season. Each team played a total of 24 games after week 2, below are the leagues power rankings. Ranks are sorted by Overall Record and if there is a tired record, Points for is the tie breaker. 

1.) Baltimore Ravens (18-6) Last week: 3

Now with the best record in the league, the Ravens are starting to look to be the superior team in the league. Moved from 3 to 1 which is the biggest jump in the power rankings. They have seemed to figure out the team chemistry. With the addition of trading Realest for a bag of rocks, this is who I’m putting my money on to win the superbowl this year. 

2.) Arizona Cardinals (17-6-1) Last week: 1

It can be argued that this is actually the best talented team in the league. This team had a small hiccup in terms of change of management and most of the roster leaving as well. But after a merger with the Panthers, this team is back to its winning ways. They have the best win streak in the league with 5 wins. I want to say thanks to Dirtyfalcons for stepping up as owner and brownies in accepting the GM position. 

3.) Buffalo Bills (14-10) Last week: 2

Rough ending for the Bills on thursday as they lost all three games. It seems this team struggles with consistency. When they win, they are a huge threat for teams. They have the potential of going deep in the playoffs. They have the third best scoring offense in the league at 461 points for but lack in defensive presence being ranked 5th in points against. 

4.) Kansas City Chiefs (13-10-1) Last week: 5

The Chiefs are starting to bounce back from their week 1 performance, but they will need to do very well next week. If the season ended today, they would clinch a wildcard berth but with the Raiders right behind them, they need to step it up. Its been quiet in terms of complaints on this team as well which is a great thing.  

5.) Dallas Cowboys (12-11-1) Last week: 6

Management in Dallas is doing a great job in terms of remaining competitively. They keep climbing the rankings and currently clinching playoffs with their record. They are tied 2nd in the league in terms of highest win streak with 4 wins. Hopefully this carries over to week 3. 

6.) Green Bay Packers (11-13) Last week: 4

On the opposite end, the Packers are declining in power rankings. I really believe this team is better than their record but Forfeits are seeming to be their issue. Which doesnt make sense since they have 12 players on their roster. If people are inactive, I would advise Green bay to start blacklisting in hopes of attracting new talent. They also need to watch out for the defense being played as well as many complaints have came in from this team in week 2. 

7.) Las Vegas Raiders (11-12-1) Last week: 7

Again, WB Clan where ya at? Ranked 7th last week, ranked 7th this week. I was expecting a bounce back in week 2 but that wasn’t in the case. Maybe a bounce back in week 3? I would also advise this team in terms of following the rulebook as well. Suggestion; study what the ravens are doing. Not one complaint has been submitted against the team and they have the best record. 

8.) Cleveland Browns (10-14) Last week: 8

This team is so iffy its weird. One game they blow out a team, the next team, they lose by 40+. Maybe its a huge change in talent? If so, try to change the lines in terms of balancing out talent with one another. They did make a trade for Ice today so that will add some consistency to their team. But trading away Realest for almost nothing was horrible IMO. 

9.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-16) Last week: 9

Posting a leagues highest losing streak of 5 losses, they absolutely have to bring their A game next week or they will not make playoffs. They are 3 games behind from the wildcard playoff berth but with how they averge 4-8 each week, Im starting to lose hope in this team. 

10.) Carolina Panthers (4-20) Last week: 10

Nothin to see here. Panthers owner quit due to an ass spanking from the bills which put the panthers in another awful situation. This team is pretty much a bye win for any team that plays them.

Inefficiency of Article 2

Hey Everyone,

 

I want to take some time to address a huge concern as of late within the league. With just so much to cover, I’ll be providing an introduction, a summary of the issue,  and a decision.

 

Introduction

I’ll be honest, when I heard team play was back, I was excited and was hopeful about running a smooth league. I envisioned a great community and a straightforward process of running a league. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case. It seems over the years, the community has been more toxic than ever which makes no sense, and coming up with a flawless constitution was more difficult than none. When the constitution was adopted, roughly 70% of it was pulled from how we ran the league 7 years ago. That has seemed to be a huge mistake on my part because in today’s league, instead of people toughing out a ruling, they comb through the constitution to find loopholes and technicalities. Keep in mind when this constitution was adopted 7 years ago, we were young, mostly between the ages of 15-23. As we got older; we got smarter and in return, it is easy to pick apart an outdated constitution. I feel this announcement is necessary to move away from what has been transparent in the past week. Some of you may like the decision, some of you may don’t, but at the end of the day, we are all here to play in a league and sport we love.

 

Summary of the Issue

Since the cat is out of the bag, I will provide a summary of what has been transparent within the week. This all started with a VFL game between the Cowboys and Chiefs. A player on the cowboys asked a staff member in public chat if a certain rule is broken. That staff member said yes, and in return requested them to file a complaint to move forward from the situation as the general chat was not the place to discuss complaints. In return, other players started expressing their opinion about the video and an argument started. The staff ruled the decision to replay the game due to the evidence. The chiefs did not like the ruling so they fought the case by the loopholing and outdated constitution. They had a reverse decision due to 4.1.5 Disclosure. This in return received backlash in the general chat but for good reason. As a ruling was reversed by the Staff, I knew there was going to be more situations of this occurring. And this was the case with last night’s game between the Raiders and Cardinals. A team filed a complaint and when the complaint was successful, they then brought it up in the general chat. And of course, the cowboy’s team had a say in it which in return is trying to void the complaint.

What’s the difference between the Cowboys vs Chiefs and the Cardinals vs Raiders?

In the Cowboys vs Chiefs game, talks were already present before a complaint was submitted and decided on. With the Cardinals vs Raiders, a ruling was made.

But that’s not the bigger picture here, the issue is some of the sections in the constitution especially article 2. The disclosure statement isn’t ideal in today’s league. People can argue that public opinion sways staff decisions; it doesn’t. And I put that to the test with two of my complaints early. Both of which were rejected and ruled on fairly and these complaints were discussed in the general chat before 4.1.5 was being used as a loophole.

 

The decision

Over the next few days, I will be taking down article 2 for review and edits. A BOG’s main role is to look at the evidence and compare it to the rulebook and make an educated decision based on the scenarios. Just a reminder as stated in the rulebook: While there are consequences for each rule broken, BOGs can freely determine the appropriate course of action in situations where games have been determined by a broken rule.

4.1.5 Disclosure is this:

4.1.5: Disclosure

 

A player found to be discussing an incident under review, appeal, or otherwise conducting themselves in an inappropriate manner related to that incident, private or public, will forfeit their right to an appeal and immediately be registered with an offense.

 

No ruling is official until it has been communicated to the offending parties involved in the complaint. Only at that time will the ruling take effect.

 

Once a ruling has been made, and an offense has been registered, it will be posted publicly. The Commissioner will make this announcement, or assign a member of his staff to that task.

 

I Will revise it to this

4.1.5: Staff on public sway

 

Players without any staff roles can freely discuss players breaking rules regardless of the process of the complaint status if one has been submitted. However, the player must not freely say they a complaint is active but rather keep the discussion to the evidence submitted in the chat for opinions from other players.

 

Staff CAN NOT give an opinion on the topic in public view. Staff is not allowed to make rulings based on public sway. Doing so will offend the staff member.

 

 

Since 2 matchups have been affected by this; The following will be issued as make rights for the teams and their troubles

 

 

Cowboys vs Chiefs – Tie; The offender is reminded to not do it again. If offended, the suspension is to be served.

 

Cardinals vs Raiders- Tie; the offender is given a warning.

 

Moving forward, these cases will be handled accordingly and the rulings will be played out whereas the rulings from these cases were not due to 4.1.5

 

In closing, guys follow the rules. When a rule is broken, respect the ruling. Quit disrespecting staff. The rulebook is straightforward. We cannot grow as a community if this is how we’re going to play in the league, breaking rules, crying about decisions, etc. Just play the game the right way and no one will have issues. I apologize on my behalf for how rocky the season has been but that’s how it normally is. It’s a process of ironing things out and releasing this to the public is a good first in the right direction. Good luck to everyone tonight.

Interview with Panthers Owner

ItsScaly Interview

Questions

Answers

How do you feel your week went after taking over a sinking ship? And how do you feel your week 2 will go?

Well the record of 2-10 is obviously not what we want to start out with , but with the 5 forfeit losses when you look at it we went 2-5 which isn’t the best but still something to work with , I’ve been working with the guys a lot across all 3 lines so I think we may surprise some people in week 2

Questions

Answers

After your first experience as owner how are you feeling moving forward as owner as the season progresses? And how likely are you to take ownership again next season?

Honestly when I first took over this team it was a lot to handle and I was thinking to myself did I make the wrong decision after leaving the current best team in the league , but after it’s kinda slowed down and I’ve got my guys together I feel good , I really feel like I’m meant for this role , currently I love running with my guys so definitely have plans of being an owner next season

Questions

Answers

Already having to take over a quitting team besides that, do you feel that having the panthers puts you at a massive disadvantage against the rest of the league? And do you feel you can compete and why?

Ya man taking over the quitting team was definitely a lot to handle I was given 4 players to work with but honestly the panthers are low key good in my opinion, they have a top 3 edge combo in reddick and burns , then they have alot of speed on both sides of the ball , the biggest problem may be the injuries with players like CMC and Jaycee horn going down last week . Honestly yes I do feel we can compete all of these guys know each other we just haven’t played team play together so I just think chemistry is just what we are missing which just takes time , I truly believe as the season goes on we will be one of the biggest surprises in the league

Questions

Answers

Ik you have only been an owner for one week but who do you feel has the most potential on your team? And why?

I know you asked for one person but I’m going to give this to two people , buckets and brownies have been very committed to finding their own schemes on offense and defense . They are just as competitive as me and we expect big things out of our line

Questions

Answers

Which team do you feel like is your biggest competition this season? And why?

well not to make yours or Dirty’s head bigger then they already are but it’s pretty obvious that the cardinals are currently on top of the league , James and dirty are very good qbs and have complete control over their lines , the only weakness on the cardinals in my opinion is their 3rd line I’ve never seen 3 grown men argue as much as greatlynx, banks , and joker do

Questions

Answers

Which team is the weakest and why?

I’d have to go with the bucs , they have too much talent to have the record they do , but to go a little different direction with that answer .. by far the most disappointing team in the league is the raiders , they talked all that trash and drafted all their boys just to have a negative record and struggle against teams that just came together!

Questions

Answers

Do you see yourself and your team making the playoffs this season?you are only 4 games behind the Cowboys, And if so how?

Our goal is definitely to make the playoffs but it will take more then my line playing well with our bad start , I know my second line is practicing hard to continue to improve but to be honest with you I’m worried about my third line they will need to show me something over these next few weeks , if the third line can win half their games then I feel good about our chances I will just have to see it with my own eyes

Questions

Answers

In your opinion (Besides yourself)  who is the favorite to make it to the superbowl in the AFC? And NFC?

In the nfc it’s the cardinals definitely currently and in the afc it’s kinda a toss up the afc has been kind of disappointing in my opinion, it was looked at as the stronger conference and I truly think the nfc is not that far behind , I’ll give it to the bills slightly over the ravens right now though

Questions

Answers

What are the odds of you not having any FFs in week 2?

I want to say 100% but it will all come down to my 3rd line I think we have the schedule down but my 3rd line has not played together much at all we are breaking in a new qb so we will see how that all goes I’m excited to see what they got 

Questions

Answers

Last question, Winning record in week 2 as a team?

No doubt , I expect to gain at least 2-3 games on the cowboys this week in the playoff race , definitely excited for week 2

Anything you would like to add on conclusion.

just want to give a shout-out to the owners for letting me become an owner and I hope to show you that you made the right decision

FINAL THOUGHTS

    Its without a doubt that the panthers have a up hill battle to climb. If anything of what Scaly has said is going to be true then the climb will start now. IMO the climb will be steep. The panthers are a tough team to win with regardless of who you have. Much less having a tough start but if you get guys in games you will get guys to win games. so i think they will definitely be much better this week than before

Week 1 Power Rankings

Week 1 of the VFL has concluded. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has participated thus far players and staff. Without you guys, no VFL would exist. While we did have a rough start on Day 1, I strongly believe the league bounced back strong. Each team played a total of 12 games in week 1, below are the leagues power rankings. Ranks are sorted by Overall Record and if there is a tired record, Points for is the tie breaker. 

1.) Arizona Cardinals (10-2) Last week: --

No shocker here, I figured this team being a playoff contender from the beginning after draft night. Management has done well in terms of obtaining the best talent. What’s even more impressive is this team handed over 3 reliable players to save the Panthers franchise and still managed to pull the best record in the league. They lead the league in many categories; Points for (267), Points Against (118), Team passing yards (2094), Passing TDs (16), and second in team DEF INTs (15). 

2.) Buffalo Bills (8-4) Last week: --

I must say, I did not expect this being placed at the second best team after week 1. I projected the bills to be played in 3rd to 5th. Despite the many hurdles this team had to get through in terms of using ECUs, they were able to finish 3rd in the league in Points for (197), 5th in Points Against (166), 2nd in team rushing (617), 1st in team sacks (18), 1st in team DEF INTs (17), and first in DTDs (7). 

3.) Baltimore Ravens (8-4) Last week: --

Tied with the best record in the AFC, the Ravens are a legit threat in the league. They were two points under from surpassing the Bills and claiming the second spot. Its been fairly quiet in terms of the team, no player stats were reported nor any type of news. 

4.) Green Bay Packers (6-6) Last week: --

Considered to have the second best scoring offense in the league with 211 in points for and second in the league in terms of Points Against (124). They have at least two solid lines that can compete with any line in the league. It seems they went into a slump with having the leagues worst losing streak of 3 games. However, I think this team has to take two forfeits. 

5.) Kansas City Chiefs (6-6) Last week: --

Biggest shocker so far. I expect this team to be top 3 in the league given the roster and team they have. I think once players familiarize themselves with the rulebook and enforce those practices on the field, I believe this team can bounce back in week 2 and do some serious damage. 

6.) Dallas Cowboys (6-6) Last week: --

The Cowboys have exceeded my expectations this week. I had this team being ranked 9th or 10th in the standings. Management has had to do many roster changes due to inactivates but they have been handling it well and still able to compete. I think almost half of their roster now is players from either TC or the free agency. the second and third pick already dipped, but that hasnt fazed the team. 

7.) Las Vegas Raiders (5-7) Last week: --

WB Clan where ya at? Not gonna lie, you all had the league on alert in the first half. Some of us thought this team was going to swept the league and take over. I expected this team to be ranked 1st overall with how well management talked highly of their players and from previous maddens, I have ran into some of these players and they are decent. I do expect a bounce back week for this team. 

8.) Cleveland Browns (5-7) Last week: --

This team is better than their record. A lot of their games were decided by 7 points or less. Aries, I’m going to need you to step up and be the man of this team, Redwater cant do it alone anymore.  

9.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-8) Last week: --

Whats going on here boys? Arguably the best madden team in terms of Superstars and X factors. I expected this team to be ranked between 4th and 6th. Maybe the team is trying to figure out their chemistry. I expect a bounce back in week 2. 

10.) Carolina Panthers (2-10) Last week: --

The curse of the Carolinas continue. Ownership has changed 3x since late August. Kudos for Scaly for stepping up and trying to turn the team around. This team endured alot in the first week. Original management and most of the roster quit 15min before opening kickoff. This caused alot of panic in the league but after replacing the team with good talent, this team can turn it around easily. I expect a better record in week 2 since half of the losses were forfeit losses.

Q:  How do you feel about your chances at making the playoffs? Ik its early but seeing the division you are in how do you feel your chances stack up

A:    As a person I never count myself out, I consider my team to be either the best or 2nd best in the league

Q:  in the league thats a big statement there is some good talent here

A: People are gonna be surprised by the Packers, we don’t have big name players  but I trust these guys and I hate losing

Q: After having a week of preseason to figure out your team who do you feel has the best line on your team? And to follow up on that best user and why?

A:     Hmm, I like these questions, good shit. But honestly I have to say Dfeets line is going to be really good, they just have to get on the same page, I think they could be our heftiest line, as for User I will always believe that I’m the strongest user in the game

Q:  What do you predict your week one record will be?

A:   With a few mishaps here I think we finish 8-4

Q:  What team is your biggest threat in the league and why?

A: I’d have to say the only team I consider on our level are the Cardinals just because you guys have a harsh depth chart in game and user wise

 

Q: Who do you believe is the least threatening in the league? Be honest

A: I’d have to say the Cowboys, even though Kuhrow has found some glitches, I think the Cowboys are going to be the easiest team to beat this season

Q: even though we have madden teams like the panthers and raiders? as well as the obvious struggles from the browns

A:   I think the Browns will figure their stuff out and the Raiders are actually a formidable foe, their team has chemistry and that’s huge when it comes to sports games, and the Panthers were a toss up in this question tbh

Q:How do you feel your madden team stacks up to the rest of the league? 

A: As long as Rodgers stays healthy/stays on the Packers, I think we have a top 5 Madden team in the league

Q: with dline OP and the Bak still out do you feel confident with your oline to hold up

A: I picked my Quarterbacks that play similar to me, getting the ball out fast will eliminate the need for Olinemen

Q: What do you look forward to after season one? and do you see yourself remaining owner after season one?

A:I look forward to having a bigger draft board season 2 and I’m definitely gonna be an owner season 2

Q: What do you feel the league can improve on the most coming from an owner?

A: Helping Outaker out with running the league better, get him some more people to take a bit of the decision making off of pretty much just him.

 

Q: Which team is going to be the dark horse or the surprise team of the season?

A:Probably the Raiders honestly

Q:you feel they will be a surprise. Surprise how good or bad. bc in my recent power ranking i had them ranked 4 i believe

A:you feel they will be a surprise. Surprise how good or bad. bc in my recent power ranking i had them ranked 4 i believe

Q:besides yourself what team would you pick to win the superbowl and why?

A:Probably the Cardinals, just due to chemistry and Madden ability

Q:alright thats all the questions. do you want to say anything to the rest of the league or anyone before we end this

  A: “Good luck boys, les have a great season”



TX FINAL WORD

IR brady has been around these leagues for a long time. So he is well aware of the talent that floats around the league. Yet he is still confident enough in himself and his teams ability to get wins. After myself gazing at their schedule i have them going IMO at best 7-6 this week. Not far off of what brady predicted. That is an at best scenerio. For me the packers will have to rely alot on Rodgers with a shaky OL which will be a problem no matter how fast you get rid of the ball it is going to be intresting to see how thing shake up. Wish you guys the best.
