Jeremy’s Journal
September 7, 2027

I had a chance to check out my WSAFLopolis syncapp today, curious to see who was still on a roster around the league and how the rookies did in Week One. I want to tell you all that I do not plan to post all of these every week. Of course, I am egotistical, so I would like to see how I compare to the guys drafted before me. Also, I’ll scan from time to time to see if any players drafted behind me are having some outstanding games, too. Maybe I’ll post a few of the outstanding jobs by some of my fellow rookies, but it will take too much time of writing about others and too little time writing about me! J

Without further introduction, here are some of the Week One Stats:

The only player on my rookie LB sync list who had a better stat line than me was Burt Hoang in Columbus. He had 8 tackles and a pass defensed.

The amazing thing to me was the guys picked ahead of me who sat. Kahlid Stargell, the fifth overall pick, got hurt in the first quarter of his game. C.J. Diaz in OKC and Wright, who we played against, were both healthy inactives. Turnbull with Amsterdam was injured.

An undrafted rookie won the Defensive Player of the Week award. Shane Boxer, a cornerback for Memphis, had three picks in his first game. Damn!

In non-rookie news, our QB, Lajun “Pete” Burks, the old fart, won WSAFL Offensive Player of the Week honors in his 3-TD effort. I guess he’s not ready to let Kim play just yet.
