a. I mean, this Manhattan team is certainly looking very strong. It does seem like they're built to do well and put up a good fight against the Argonauts. The big question is, relative to the Argonauts, have they really taken the big step up that they need in order to defeat the Argonauts? It's going to be a tough call for sure.

b. The only way I can see the Seattle Argonauts losing out to the Manhattan Rage is really only two scenarios. The first scenario is that the Rage genuinely dominate the Argonauts, playing much better than anticipated. The other one is that the Argonauts basically run out of gas. Manning can't find the back of the net, Podcalzone struggles to finish checks and his age starts to show, and the team basically takes a big step back compared to Manhattan.

c. I truly do believe that the key to the series is how the top players in Manning and Lind perform. Having followed the Argonauts during the regular season, Manning looks like another level compared to, well, how about the entire league, save for a select few. I'd imagine they'll still be playing at that top level, even though the coaching staff of their opposing teams will be doing anything in their powers to shut them down.

d. In my eyes, it has to be the Seattle Argonauts. This is a team that was truly dominant during the regular season, with a team that was just clicking through and through. Manning is on a historic tear, Podcalzone and Salming bring veteran expertise to the lineup, and Willie Miller, as stinky as his gear may be, is that steady and reliable presence in the crease that gives the Argos what they need to dominate the competition.

Honestly being able to pick the battlefield is a total game changer. As far as I am aware, those living war boats can probably dominate in any scenario. Realistically, neither would really thrive in the air, unless they somehow sprouted wings. We'll call it a draw for in the air. However, for a scenario where there actually is a good likelihood of determining a winner, I would say that the boats with eyes can defeat the herd of bulls if the battleground was set in an aquatic setting. I mean, that just makes sense. I don't know how well bulls can swim, and assuming these war boats with eyes are truly sentient, then they can aim pretty damn well. Just fire some missiles out at the bulls, and they won't be able to evade them at all. Even on land, I can see the boats winning, to be honest. It will just turn into a stationary battle station, equipped with machine guns, missiles still, and a steel superstructure that is very much capable of taking on some damage from a few bull horns. Boat wins easy, both in the sea and on land.

Yeah, honestly, I could totally see a scenario where the entire SHL marketing department tries to buy in on the very... funny number aspect of marketing this particular season for the league. However, all it takes is one rational person to remind everybody of the fact that... there are likely kids watching these games in this totally real universe where the SHL is very much a real entity. Therefore, it would be best to "keep it PG", or so to speak.

So, what would be the next appropriate move? Well, for starters, the next move would be to brand the season in a very subliminal or subtle way. A way where adult fans can easily go and say "haha nice funny number", while most kids should be oblivious of the nature of the marketing. So, I don't know, something a bit lame like "Keeping things nice" or "Hockey and chill" would... yeah honestly, there's a reason that I'm not an expert at marketing.
