ELLIOTT C. SAMUELS vs PROFESSOR MAXWELL

ELLIOTT C. SAMUELS: Mod OC!

OC2: @antlerontwitch

VOTE BASED ON THE INFORMATION BELOW CUT!!

Propaganda Content Warnings: Organised crime, maiming for ELLIOTT. Torture for PROFESSOR MAXWELL.

ELLIOTT C. SAMUELS:

PROPAGANDA: Elliott was born into a very notorious crime family, on par with the mafia in his home city. He was raised being taught how to defend himself, then how to kill, then how to get away with it. As he grew up, he saw his only friends being killed for not being good enough, and he started to hate how he was raised. He tried to flee his family when he was 18 and change his identity, but a dirty cop brought him back to his family. His family decided the only acceptable punishment was that of a snitch; his tongue was cut out, and he was rendered mute for the rest of his life. He ended up running away again and, a bit wiser this time, he managed to fully escape his family. He ended up starting a band with some friends, who he trusted to keep him safe, but he ended up being roped into covering up a murder with his band. Yeesh. He just cannot catch a break!

THEME SONG:

PROFESSOR MAXWELL:

PROPAGANDA: Aroace but too twinkified (he's been shipped with his best friend and a prisoner smh), literally meets God (scp-343) and calls him a bitch to his face, covered in scars (recent and old), feels like he's 80 when he's in his 40s, constant and deep eyebags, was shown the universe's worst horrors by God (Canon God), has been sliced in half, torn apart, beheaded, tortured by God (not Canon, me) - he goes fishing but only in the ocean on his own rowboat, the only person he can talk to confidently is his life long best friend, long, messy hair, tall but not taller than his best friend

2020 NFL Draft Big Board

My consensus big board for the 2020 NFL Draft is currently comprised of 20 big boards that have been updated in the last 30 days to create one giant big board that gives a big picture view of where each player is currently being ranked around the web.

(OC) Frenchifying the Canadiens (An Alternate Reality)

(This is the squeakquel threequel to Moneyballing the Senators and Covertly Tanking the Wild)It's August 2019. Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins are sitting in the Montreal Canadiens' war room when the phone rings. It's Geoff Molson, the team president and co-owner.Hey guys, it's Geoff. I'm gonna cut a long story short - the province's Minister for Sports has apparently stumbled on some... compromising information about this organization. For legal reasons I'm not gonna get into it, but it implicates all of us in the front office. The good news is that he says he's not going to put it out there for the sake of the franchise and the city. The bad news is that he has one demand, and I don't think we'll be able to get out of it. He's a bit of a nationalist, you know? Very vive la Québec francophone and all that. He says the worst thing that ever happened to les Habs was when they started letting Ontarians and Americans on the team, and that he stopped watching when they made Saku Koivu captain. He told me he'll shred all the dirt he has on us if we make the Canadiens a 100% Québecois team by October. I know that puts you in a tough situation guys, but good luck guys!Bergevin and Timmins look at eachother in shock."Well at least this will save us a shit-ton on amateur scouting""This isn't funny Trevor, what the hell are we going to do? I guess I'll start sending out feelers and hopefully we'll be ready by opening night. If we rush this we'll lose every trade and look like imbéciles""No, Marc, we have to get all of this done now. Tonight. You think we'll lose these trades if we hurry? If McKenzie somehow gets wind of this and tweets it out we're gonna be icing a fucking QMJHL team this year. We need to do this all at once before anyone figures out what's going on.""Merde you're fucking right.""Think about it though Marc. If you brought a Cup to Montreal with a bunch of Anglos and Americans on the ice you'd be a hero, sure. But if you get les Canadiens une Coupe with all French guys they'll add your biceps to the fucking fleur de lis. Let's just do it and be légendes, frère.""Alright. Get me a list of every son of a bitch in this league with an accent aigu in their name, a six pack of Taureau Rouge, and 29 more phones."Six Hours Later​Bobby Margarita @TSNBobMcKenzieIt's probably nothing, but I'm hearing that the NHL trade line has about 12 trades pending.​Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNICHabs have signed Pominville (1.5M), Chartier (0.75M) and Bourque (0.7M) to 1 year contracts.​Bobby Margarita @TSNBobMcKenzieA lot of talk around the Habs right now.

The Canadiens' front office pulled off all of these trades simultaneously, and not a single other GM realized what was going on. Sure they guessed that the Habs were targeting their French players (what else is new?) but they were as shocked as anyone when they started getting frantic texts as soon as they had submitted the deals to the league.Hockey media is a mess. TSN has interrupted their coverage of Canadian U20 Cricket regionals and dispatched the Bellicopter to retrieve Bobby Margarita from the Muskoka wilderness; analytics bloggers are frantically assembling heat maps and charts to make some sense of the madness; podcasters are recording 6-hour episodes.Bergevin and Timmins are asleep, and will be until the afternoon. They'll wake up to a copy of Le Devoir and the Montreal Gazette on the front porch of the Bell Centre with competing editorials:Montreal Gazette - August 11 2019"What the Hell did Bergevin Just Do?"MONTREAL, QC - NHL teams aren't put together in a day - it takes years of scouting, developing, trading, and signing to put together a team that can compete for the Stanley Cup. To succeed, managers have to be able to set aside their biases - for certain types of players, for action, and for nationality - and make rational, measured decisions.Apparently nobody told Marc Bergevin that.On Saturday night, Bergevin blew up a team that finished as close to a playoff spot as is humanly possible. Usually in hockey "blowing up a team" means trading a few core pieces; in this case it meant a rabid simultaneous onslaught of 13 trades replacing 90% of the roster and a large chunk of the prospect cupboard. And why? So that the insecurity of nationalist Francophones can be resurrected on the Bell Centre (excuse me, Centre Bell) ice, and the worst nostalgic tendencies of our society can play out below the retired number banners of Doug Harvey, Larry Robinson, and Bernie Geoffrion.Maybe this team will be a Cup contender, maybe they won't be. But the message that Marc Bergevin has sent to the thousands of children who watch the Montreal Canadiens (many of whose Weber or Price jerseys are now suddenly out of date) is one of exclusion and tribalism. And he, and Geoff Molson, and every element of our province responsible for this idiocy should be ashamed.Le Devoir - 11 Août 2019"Bergevin: le sauveur du hockey québécois"MONTRÉAL, QC - Avant jeudi soir, le mandat du directeur général des Canadiens, Marc Bergevin, était controversé. Pour chaque échange intelligente, il en avait un autre qui était horrible. Mais maintenant, il n’ya aucun doute: Marc Bergevin est un héros.Les Canadiens de Montréal participeront à une coupe Stanley ce printemps, et ce, avec une formation entièrement née et élevée au Québec pour la première fois en près de cent ans. Les enfants de la belle province seront inspirés, et le hockey québécois retrouvera enfin sa place sacrée au sommet. Une nouvelle génération de fierté française, de renouveau national et de domination du hockey est à portée de main. Et il n'y a aucun doute sur qui est responsable. Vive Bergevin!​How did it turn out in the end? Let's just say that the Fleurgevin was hanging in every classroom in the province by the summer.Hope you enjoyed, if you have any ideas for a future thing like this let me know!
