PLAYER PROMPT

Slip McScruff sticks to the script. He has a social media intern (his little brother) who handles the negative press by blasting out memes about nachos and corn dogs. He gives a series of interviews along the lines of "We have to try harder and get more pucks in deep and on net". He is the media scapegoat for the team, taking all the heat so the rest don't have to. Once he absorbs all the negative press, the guys treat him to dinner and throw in to the end of season gift pot. If there are enough stinkers that Slip has to answer for, he could afford a new truck. All the other players are incentivized to not pay up, and Slip can't influence the play either way. It's a win - win - win, because even the journalists have an easy time with the trained media dummy. This is the secret to how Slip can afford to live on the minimum contract allowed by the league.
