What's Going on in the Locker Room

Winning the division and then making it to the American League Finals in the first ever FFL Season might be considered pretty good for many teams, but not The Horsemen. Furious after not completing their mission of complete league domination, Darkseid has reestablished his roll as the ultimate ruler of this team. In a much debated move, Vandal Savage has been fired as head coach but still remains on the team in a leadership capacity. Along with several off-season moves in both acquiring players and off-list picks for Season 2 The Horsemen of Apokolips have also reestablished the infamous Hellfire Club to control the team's inner workings more tightly than ever. The new members are as follows:
  • Black King: Darkseid
  • White King: Vandal Savage
  • Black Queen: Selene
  • White Queen: Emma Frost
  • Black Knights: Deathstroke & Feyd-Rautha Harkonen
  • White Knights: Serpentor & Sinestro
  • Black Rooks: Grand Moff Tarkin & Kane of Runefast
  • White Rooks: J.R.R. Tolkien & Charleton Heston
  • Black Bishops: Hordack & Sith Lord #13
  • White Bishops: Gene Simmons & Mr. Sinister
  • Black Pawns: Chris Artrip (pawn leader) & Dark Jedi #1-7
  • White Pawns: Julie Artrip (pawn leader) & Amazon #1-6, & 11
  • **Sebastian Shaw refused to be any part of this new Hellfire Club after he was not granted his former spot as Black King.

With these offseason moves as well as several others The Horsemen of Apokolips are very prepared for another season and are guarenteeing even more success than they had in Season 1. There were a few problems in the locker room most of which can be attributed to the Joker and his boredom from not being played one time during season 1. The Joker laughed hysterically when he waited until everybody was sleeping to blow up the lock on the cages for the T-Rexes which resulted in the deaths of Amazons #3 & 18, and Navy Seal #12. He and Harley Quinn also agreed that the timing was absolutely perfect when he did the same thing to the lock on the Cave Troll pen right before their important match against Beckerman's Backyardigans which resluted in even more bloodshed when Navy Seals #19, 20, & 26 perished along with Navy Seal Chief #2; Navy Seals #4 & 5 would have lost their lives as well if it weren't for Chuck (Navy Seal Chief #1). Not to mention the death of Amazon #6. The worst part of this tragedy in the eyes of Darkseid was that Cave Trolls #1, 3, & 9 also suffered deaths because the team was unable to subdue them without killing them (take them alive is not really an order The Horsemen are good at following). Although most people are not sure that The Joker and Harley Quinn are involved (because somedays he denies it and others he is proud of it) most people have a feeling that it was he who convinced Fremen #34 that Jason Voorhies said something bad about his sietch which caused him to attack Jason and then quickly lose his life. Despite these tragedies Darkseid still vehemently refuses to remove the Joker from the team. The Horsemen are in no way expected to be any less of a powerhouse this year and the Watchers are predicting an especially big year for Achilles as well. The Horsemen have 4 balls in the draft lottery.

What's Going on in the Locker Room
Spirits could not be higher in the locker room after TEAM's victory in the 2008 Universe Bowl. Superman and Neo's "lead by example" attitude has spread throughout the team and despite the fact that many of the members of TEAM have never actually seen Unicron, the fact that they have a giant metal planet on their team tends to bring a warm and fuzzy feeling to anyone. Ethan Hunt, despite never getting a start is doing an excellent job training his fellow teammates and keeping them on there toes. The Tlielaxlu Masters are hard at work with all kinds of crazy genetic experiments but in true Tlielaxlu fashion they are taking longer than expected, especially since Mimmell has not been as receptive to their methods as their traditional "tanks". The only deaths that occurred were when a very bored Freddy Kruegar decided to wait until everybody was sleeping one night and kill Valkyrie #17, Phibian #2, and Kefka (just for the fun of it). Guardian #6 and Neo Cymek #4 on two seperate occassions also accidentally stepped on Dozer #7. Depa Billaba has taken Jedi Padawan #16 as her padawan learner. The Watchers are predicting a big season for both Neo and Trinity. TEAM has 2 balls in the draft lottery.

What's Going on in the Locker Room
A very skilled team that lacks depth; Team Fred seems to have a pretty stable locker room. Although being split into a good faction led by Cyclops and an evil faction led by Brainiac; even the two factions don't have much disagreement with each other, do to the fact that they are all basically "in it to win it" (you know like Yzerman). The only deaths that occurred were Compy's #32, 36, 48, 66, and 80 through several different accidents since they basically just run wild all of the time (or it may have just been out of boredom for some of the evil members of the team). Brainiac also decided to do some experiments on Navy Sailors #8,9, and 10. Sailors #8 and #9 died in the process, but Navy Sailor #10 came out of it with increased strength and speed plus a strange killer instinct. The Watchers are predicting a big year for the original X-Men (as well as Navy Sailor #10). Team Fred has 9 balls in the draft lottery.
