S79 PT #5: Analytical Comments Due: Sunday, November 17th @ 11:59 PM PST

Well we didn’t make the playoffs, but we are excited for next year. My player needs to be better at every facet of the game. This is consistent with rookies, but he will specifically look to improve in the offensive zone. Doing this will overall help the team make the playoffs next season. As a team, we just need to get better. Team chemistry will help this team improve greatly. We all need to improve as individuals, but work together to be a better team. Specifically, we will want to work on our defense. We give up a ton of goals. There is no doubt in our locker rooms mind that we will make the playoffs next year. We are expecting great things and to see a massive leap into next year. We will have a new gm next season, but our team cohesion should combat this. Whoever comes in will only help this team be a better unit.

Option 1

It is a bold choice to invite someone who can barely say a sentence in english to do a fifteen minutes TV segment. Henri isn't really nervous about it, he already knows it's gonna suck not his fault if he tanks their ratings. After all he knows one thing or two about tanking. He will obviously mention that since his junior days that he always end up on the bench midway through a series so the Seattle fans can expect a choke artist. Texas is obviously a tough matchup, but if there is a possible way to a conference championship game this bracket is their best odd. They would face a weak Minnesota or Winnipeg if they somehow upset the Renegades. The Pacific bracket has the best two teams in the league, the Argos would stand no chance. That would be the main focus of this interview, but how it will come out of Losanov mouth is a different story.

Option 1
Kristian Seppanen, the star right defenceman (often abbreviated to RD) and assistant captain for the Atlanta Inferno hockey team of the eastern conference of the Simulation Hockey League, otherwise known as the SHL, would go on air to talk about Kristian Seppanen's mentality going into this series. Hockey is a random game, and the future isn't set in stone, so Kristian Seppanen encourages his teammates to always view themselves as the underdog heading into a matchup. With that mentality, the team knows to leave it all on the ice. Kristian Seppanen has been very disappointed in his performance this post-season. He's only really been contributing with blocked shots, and it hasn't felt like great games otherwise - but his defensive rating is at an all-time high for him, so he's just gotta keep doing what he's doing defensively and hoping that things start to click again offensively to help the team over the hump against a strong Philadelphia team. Then, hopefully, if luck goes their way, the Atlanta Inferno might make the finals.


Prompt 2:
James is invited to commentate on a high-profile MMA match that everyone is looking forward to. it's been hyped to high heaven, and James's reputation as a tough guy on the ice means that he's a perfect match. Unfortunately, James thinks he knows a lot more about the sport than he does. So he spends the next 12 hours relaxing, using the punching bag in his home gym, until the time comes and he comes across as a shmuck for people who revere the sport. Most of James's experience fighting comes from street fights where you play dirty to win, and much of his commentary comes in the form of "see, there would've been a good time to kick his opponent in the crotch. It was undefended, and that wins you fights." "I personally would've spit in my opponent's eye at that crossroads, a real misplay by Johnson." and the like. The pay is good, and James's reputation really isn't affected all that much at the end of the day since everyone who actually knew much about James knew that it would go like this. Still, not a good look for the people who hired him.

"I'm the best there is at what I do... and what I do isn't very nice."

RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

Clarence was asked to guest announce for a celebrity boxing match this past weekend. He knows nothing about boxing but the payday was too good to turn down. However, once he was on commentary he elected to talk over his co-commentators and just scream into his headset for the entire night with phrases like "Ker-pow" and "wakakaka." His ignorance of the sport did not discourage him from making steaming hot takes and sharing bizarre stats and confusing references. During the main event he said "That punch reminded me of the time Jim Buckwood threw a left hook at Bucky Phelps in 1982, that was on the undercard of the 'Shakin' at the Station' event." He would ask his co-commentators opinions but then cut them off mid-sentence. This irritated his co-workers and the people at home but when they attempted to give him feedback he just accused them of bullying. Maybe commentating just isn't for him. But it doesn't stop him from trying!

Sunrise would refuse the other league gig, mostly because he would not see himself prepared enough for the job. He would probably say that he would be open to participate if there is still interest after a bit of studying the sport but with the offer as it is, he would likely refuse it. Money is not an issue for him and he is doing fine enough with his finances as it is.

Hard to really be that money-driven when he is paid well enough by his team and can still rely on the money from his father's farm and village, plus he would probably be able to get a job as a chemist without much trouble from mere power of word and academical resume. It would probably be fun to learn about a new sport too, so better not to burn that bridge over a lack of care.

Unless that's cricket. Screw cricket.

Written option 2: Jauhnne Hawky would actually declines the offer, mainly for three reasons. The first one being it was never about the money Spiderman. He does what he does out of his love for the sport, the pay is just a bonus. The second reason being Jauhnne does not particularly care for sports that are not hockey. They are just not his thing, almost like it is in his name or something. The third and final reason would be Jauhnne does not like being in the spotlight. He does not like being hounded by people day and night, so something like this that would only get his name out there more would not appeal to him. Only having twelve hours to study up on a a sport he does not care about, not to mention part of those twelve hours would be travel time, seals this particular deal, as he would make an absolute fool of himself.

Billy Herrington doesn’t back down from a challenge, especially when there’s an opportunity to showcase his larger-than-life charisma—and earn some extra cash in the process. When the call comes in for him to guest star as a color commentator for a professional curling event, he accepts without hesitation, even though his curling knowledge is limited to vague memories of seeing it during the Winter Olympics. For Billy, it’s less about the sport and more about bringing energy and entertainment to the broadcast. With only 12 hours to prepare, Billy takes a balanced approach. He spends the first few hours watching highlight reels and Googling basic curling terminology like "hammer," "end," and "hog line." Then, he shifts focus to researching the players and teams to sprinkle in fun anecdotes and stats. His goal isn’t to become a curling expert overnight but to be informed enough to crack jokes and keep the audience engaged. When game time arrives, Billy leans heavily on his charisma. He peppers in humor, likens curling strategy to hockey plays, and isn’t afraid to poke fun at himself for his rookie mistakes. The audience loves it, finding his outsider perspective refreshing. By the end of the broadcast, Billy’s earned rave reviews for his infectious enthusiasm and adaptability. He walks away with a newfound respect for curling—and maybe even a few new curling fans among hockey lovers.

Solaire of Astora would gladly accept this humbling offer to go color commentate in another sport, and he wouldn't care which league it would be, PBE or ISFL, because of his close friends he has in both leagues, Blacksmith Andre and Siegmeyer of Catarina. He would mostly just talk these two guys up massively, and talk about how great they are at their respective sports and how much they make the team they are on so great, and talk about how much they are a value to the league they are in. Doing this, while he doesn't really know anything about the sports, he still knows about his friends and can talk about how great they are in general, and how they add to the teams they are on. It's crazy to think, that no matter what happens, that Solaire has his people to always talk well about and make sure that they would probably get pretty tired hearing how much he wants to talk well about his friends, but you gotta do what you gotta do to make sure that it can sound good enough for the commentating.

After many years of only caring about the Montreal Canadiens, Tony Marineau decided to give a bit of spotlight to the other Montreal based hockey team, the Montreal Patriotes!
Here's a preview of tomorrow's podcast.

Written option 1

His time in the Vancouver captaincy this season has prepared him for the limelight of the studio booth, so he’s a comfortable lad. Its no secret that the Vancouver whalers weren’t up to anyone’s expectation this season, although with the evaporation of talent as players moved on the SHL last season, it’s hardly surprising that they were terrible. For Oliver personally, it was a good season. The on-ice results were okay for the veteran, but this season was more about growth within the locker room and fostering a positive culture while the team battled through adversity. Oliver battled through the difficulty of this season, while watching the waiting Wolfpack and learning as much as he could from Seamus O’Slapahan, who Oliver will be replacing this offseason. In one of his last media appearances in Vancouver, Oliver was comfortable and gracious as he prepares to take his next step.

Written Option 2

Unsurprising, Jamie Fraser had never heard of basketball until his arrival in America, but he was soon fascinated with the other indoor sport played by giants. While he still lacks the knowledge of the intricacies of the sport, his understanding of strategy and conflicts has carried his understanding of modern sport well and his insight quickly became valued by reporters. Eventually he would be regularly asked for his opinions on the NBA, especially when playing away games in cities where the association had teams. With the Patriotes not making the playoffs, one smaller market team in Canada invited Jamie to the set for some playoff matchups this season. Uncomfortable about the role but interested in the opportunity, Jamie cautiously accepts. He does not do any additional preparation and relies on what had worked for him up to this point and while it was passable during color commentary it was a resounding success in pregame, half time, and postgame shows.
