Mr. Stickman is wanting to get his grubby little hands on another 1st Round 2025 Rookie Pick (Okay, my hands are actually clean, I get a bit germophobic sometimes...).    Seeing as there's been some interest in one of his players recently, I figure why not see what I can get for him (especially after the game he had last week!).

He is offering one WR Amari Cooper (And I can add a 2025 redraft pick in the mix.  I do have two 3rds Rounders, so I could add one of those to the offer to a good, likely playoff team.  I also have two 2nd Rounders, one of those could certainly go to a team that... might not be a playoff team this year.  Keeping in mind that I'm openingly planning on cleaning some house this offseason, so the Sabercats will likely be picking within the top 5 in next year's redraft).  If you are concerned with being down a rookie pick, I do have three 2nd rounders at the moment, I could swap one of that helps.


I am absolutely willing to adjust the terms of the deal if someone needs a WR that just proved that he can still get 20 points on a good day (and for those worried, any injury concerns seem to be alleviated, he's been practicing this week without limits) especially if a likely top 5 overall Rookie Pick could be in the mix.   But the Sabercats receiving a 1st Round Rookie Pick is a must for this offer.

Well, that was disappointing.    After the unsuccessful hunt against the advanced weaponry of the Nightriders, the Sabercats looked more like prey rather than predators.  Perhaps next week, we'll have better luck (and a QB that doesn't throw footballs right after seemingly rubbing his hands with a huge slab of mayonnaise...).   We'll be on the prowl for a spark to our season, the Buffalo Bolts will do just fine!  

Since we're on the road (and Buffalo hasn't announced what they'll be wearing), the Sabercats will break out the white away uniforms for this one!   Nice thing about being on the road, we won't have annoying celebrities around to mispronounce our team name (famed singer Kitty Purry called us the Kittycats and other singer Gentleman Googoo thought we were called the Sabertooths.   At least they did better than actor Dickolas Rage, who apparently thought we were called the Rams and/or the Chargers.  Like wth?!   Go back to screaming about invisible bees again!)

Today, the LA Sabercats begin their official opening day season (that for us, started on Thursday) will a fun home matchup against the Boston Nightriders!  Boston certainly made a bunch of moves and had a ton of draft picks to revamp their team, they'll be a nightmare in the near future for everyone else in the AltFL to deal with.

However, that's old news for the Sabercats, who, since the 2023 offseason, have practically a brand new team, with literally only 4 of our 26 players having played in LA since 2022 or earlier!   Will this newly updated roster be able to finally make a serious run at not only their first playoff appearance in the AltFL, but also their first AltFL Championship?   That remains to be seen...

For today's home game, we will debut our new home jerseys.   These sweet new threads showcase a more dynamic and stylish look that's sure to stay beautiful for many years, like a Hollywood star with just the right amount of plastic surgery!   

Join us in rooting for the LA Sabercats as they take their first step in the 2024 Walk of Fame in our matchup against the Nightriders!  Get ready folks, it's Hunting Season in Hollywood!

*Salutes* Goodbye Jimmy Golden and Ed Edwards!   They're still two of my favorites that I ever submitted and how funny is it that they couldn't have been any more different in personality, yet both excellent players!   I'll miss them (although like Wally alluded to, I could see Golden making it to TV for sure!)

Third worst... ouch.   But rebuilds are necessary, hopefully the Heralds will turn it around soonish!

Mr. Stickman, thank YOU for this amazing feedback as only you could do. I love your thoughts on each team, thank you for taking the time to do the entire league. Very much appreciated!

Anytime Steel!  Oh, and loving the Logos By The Years graphic!   What a fun trip down memory lane!  I always forget how many logos Chasonne has gone through over the years!   They don't keep a look too long, and that's awesome since there are definitely real life teams that switch it up a lot!

This was also nice because I now remember a few truly great logos that I wish could come back someday (Portarra Pioneers first logo is an all-time great and ripe for throwback uniforms!  Yubay Glaciers and their original melty pizza logo!  Anything Lecayne Saints- wonder if that city will ever get a team again-)

As per usual during the Los Angeles Sabercats' Rookie Draft Announcement, Football Owner Stickman, flanked by his prized wiener dogs Ketchup and Mustard, approached the podium.  Just as Ketchup was beginning the sentence, a sudden cry appeared out of nowhere land.

"Having the dog talk for you?"  the voice cried out mockingly, "How... passe!.  You want a dramatic selection, honey? Let me show you how it's done!"

The lights went out and when they came back on, Football Stickman was nowhere to be seen (and was probably dead, don't ask me how I know this), the two dogs wrestling on the ground biting themselves, and Basketball Stickman, complete with his Phantom of the Opera Mask (with a fabulous, yet classy, L.A.-graffiti art style painted on it) standing with his arms wide, expecting an ovation.  None came.

"All proper Press Conferences contain Comedy and Tragedy.  I begin... with Tragedy" he began loudly, though by the end was near whispering.  "I regret to inform everyone that I will no longer be owning my beloved New Orleans Revelers.  Yes, I'm afraid a bad business deal with the local mafia has forced me to resign my position effective immediately.  But I don't want to retire, heavens no!.  So, I'll just take over this lovely little franchise instead.  You do admit that I'm SO much more entertaining than that boring old account owner, don't you?"  No response. 

"Huh.  Tough crowd.  City of Angels my... OH!   You wanted to know the Comedy?  Why, it's only this, the Los Angeles Sabercats 1st Round Rookie Selection!"

Curtains that had magically appeared behind the eccentric mystery man opened up to reveal Stickan's Crockettes doing their dance (although they were now wearing cat themed clothes, the "Killer Kitties" as Stickman would reveal later).  When the dance was over, the girls split in two groups, revealing the horrifying sight of Buffalo Bolts QB Patrick Mahomes, tied up and gagged (and also attempting to scream in horror).   "Yes, I pi

I'm stunned.  Dire went with Caleb Williams?!?!?!   Astounding!  (JK, most obvious first pick we've had since Trevor Lawrence, even if I personally think he's a little overrated)  He's in a hell of a great position for a rookie, so he should be able to produce right away.

Finally, for the Rankin Division

Abrieden Bucks:  Much as I'll always love the Friday the 13th vibes the old logo had, the maturation of Abrieden's logo is a fantastic look!  I like that quilted feel the new buck has, very unique!  The contrast in colors works better now with the navy blue being darker and the yellow being brighter, so that's nice.  I think the gray is nice for outlining the logo and numbers, works better than white and yellow did with the old set.  Yeah, one of the best updates in the THL!

Bancana Kings: Go Banana Kings!  Anyway, considering that this team had a similar color scheme to the Bucks before this year, the updated color scheme was probably neccesary (helps that the HE RONs changed their jerseys colors too).  I like the black and gold here, along with the tie in reasons for why the color change.  The new number font feels like it fits well too.  Not as a huge of a fan of the "Mummy" lines, it's a bit much, but that appears to be the point (actually, if I recall right, I think the HE RON's old logo was Egyptian based, which would actually have been the mummy lines fit in with them better.  Not that I was complaining about what we had).  This is now just a really solid uniform, crazy how just changing colors can make a huge difference in quality sometimes!

Kavalos Electrics: *Chef Kiss*  What a perfect uniform.   That green and yellow jersey is my personal favorite in all of Torland.  The logo is super creative and looks great as always.  I don't think there's one thing I'd change on this set! 

Kurohara Killers: I always forget there's two whale themed teams in the THL.  It's logo is simpler in nature (no hidden puck and hockey stick inside of a smile here!) but I think the orca with a stick logo is pretty charming in and of itself.  The Killers' black and orange is a winning color combo (although I still remember them having yellow and green in the set too at one point!).  It's a pretty basic set, especially for the

For the Elam Division

Chasonne Heralds: My favorite team gets a huge update!  While I'll always love the original logo the best, Chasonne's new logo is a great update that stands on its own!  I especially like the subtle pieces of the sheet music C and the overall shape being an e for the Elam family.  Very clever!  I think the new number set just fits better with the new look, so yeah, the Heralds are a winner in my book!

Cobantle Cardinals: What are the St. Louis Cardinals doing here?  Lol, just kidding.  But yeah, I can see the baseball team was an inspiration for this design.  That being said, they look great!   Of the two teams that have a pretty similar color scheme (Fort Bevin also having that red primary, navy secondary look going on), I think Cobantle is the better looking team, so great work there!   The cardinal on the hockey stick logo seems like a classic already, not a bad impression for a brand new team!  Overall, very nice!

Kirkenport Captains: They've always had one of the better looks in the THL and Kirkenport's slight color hue adjustments hasn't hurt that feeling one bit!  I think I even like it slightly more now than before, just because I feel like the greater contrast in the midnight and cream helps the blue pop out more.  Not much more to say, just another good, solid THL look.

Narva Neptunes: MY EYES!!!!!   THE BLUE BURNS SO BRIGHT!!!  Seriously, the white and neon ocean blue contrast so much with that ultra dark green that it kinda messes with my eyes a little, lmao!  I kinda dig it though, it makes Dead Ned look a lot more spectral and less like the images of a fever dream.  Not sure if that was the intent or not, but if so, it definitely works, nicely done!  While I'm sad to see that awesome forest green jersey go, I still think the Neptunes are overall a better looking franchise for its changes!

Trowburgh Herons: Oh my lord.   You weren't kidding, nobody embraced the 90s quite like Trowburgh did, that's for sur
