After much thought, I have decided that I would like to keep my kicker, Ahron Linkler, in SEA Pro if at all possible. There are a few teams I have been in contact with that are on the short list, but if you would like to be added to that shortlist, make your case here.

I would like to have forum access to any interested teams so that I can get a better feel for the team before I commit.


His profile:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=65110

To be honest, as a player that I started mid-season 1 when I didn't fully understand the player development ins and outs, he doesn't have the highest possible kicking stat (112 after VET abilities and equipment), But what he doesn't have in raw stats he makes up for in pedigree. As LSP will tell you, he doesn't choke in close games. EVER. I have made that a priority since day one by investing in confidence, calm nerves, and the clutch VET ability. And it has worked.

The second thing I have focussed on is accuracy for long kicks, and I believe I have that licked. Back in season 3, before kickers got nerfed, he went 50/53 back in SEA AAA, and 9/10 from 50+ yards (including one 64.5 yarder). After the nerf, it took him a while to get back into the long kicking game, but this season he went 10/16 (3/3 in the playoffs), which is second only to Alex Wolfendisco (a very respectable 9/10) from 50+ yards.

The pitch is this: have Linkler on your team, and never lose another game due to a missed kick inside 50 yards. And win a couple that you would have lost with kicks outside 50 yards.

Since season 4, there has been one game that he could have won, had he not missed any of his FG opportunities:

And one game that he could have tied had he sunk all his FGs:
http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=291826

And two games where sinking all the blasted PATs would have given us a fighting chance. But no kicker seems to be able to sink all of their PATs. I actually see this more as the game's fault than Linkler's, but I admit I'm biased

He has literally sunk the winning FG in at least 15 games in those four seasons.


I will be evaluating where I'd like to go based on:

1. Team dynamic and unity - are people mature and courteous with a light-hearted humorous but dedicated attitude? (hence the request for forum access)

2. Existing kicker - I don't want to be responsible for displacing any existing kickers that want to continue playing on your team. Therefore, I will require a PM from the existing kicker explaining why they aren't continuing.

3. Team Pedigree - obviously a team with a proven track record of winning or at least trying to win will get a leg up. But if you can show that you have made great strides and a top tier kicker would finally put you in the hunt, I'm not above helping out some teams who haven't even made the playoffs, just make your case.

4. Owner and GM character - I have really enjoyed GLB, mostly with Linkler on the TBP squad because of one thing: JT. He is amazing, and while them are tall shoes to fill, I'd like an owner who puts real life first, enjoys the game, is not rude, and treats all agents and GMs with respect.

Notice what's not on the list? Money. I trust that any owner fulfilling the above criteria would give Linkler enough money for equipment when the need arises if at all possible, so I really don't care what his salary or bonus are, as long as they are enough to keep training. So please don't try to win him by offering an outrageous contract, that just shows a lack of prudent leadership, not a genuine desire for getting Linkler on your team.

I can offer you #1 thru #4. But are you okay with the backup spot? Buddy Buttlips likes his reacharounds, both giving and receiving.

Alright....as tough as this is for me to do, I figured if I answered your questions publicly, instead of in a PM, you would realize that we are serious about getting Linkler on our team. Regardless of the humiliation that ensues

I'm glad that you want to keep Linkler in SEA, and there is definitely no better place for him to finish his career, than with LSP. I mean come on....you kinda owe it to us, considering you dominated us for the last 6 seasons, singlehandedly knocked us out of the playoffs 4 times in a row. No one else in this league can appreciate you for being the best kicker in GLB, like we can

Also, all of your requirements will be met or even exceeded:

1. Okay....maybe I don't have the whole mature thing down yet....and well....most of the time I'm courteous....light hearted.....crap....next question(Tiger will give you forum rights )

2. I own the kicker for LSP, and as soon as you would accept, I'm cutting his sorry ass http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=174143

3. 15-1 our first two years in the Pro's....not gonna find better than that in Garuda. Unfortunately the playoffs have been a different story, but hey....now that the Panda's are gone, The sky's the limit baby! And LSP will be around for a long time in the Pro's. We've already started developing our players to continue our winning ways for years to come. Hell, we'll be around long enough for when Linkler retires, and you bring over Erik Guillermo

4. Tigerbait is, IMHO, the best owner in GLB. He knows alot about builds, gameplanning, and is a heck of a recruiter. Has sunk alot of money into this game, and wants to make sure not only that LSP is a winner, but makes sure that all of the agents on his team are well taken care of.

Well anyway, there's my plea^^ We would love to get you over here, if for no other reason then to stop the bleeding from your beatdowns.

You are right I have no idea who you are and honestly I don't give a fuck who you are. I do know that your team is 7-9 and failed at getting to the Pros. I don't know how what I said was stupid but if you feel that way, good for you.
And I can't wait to get see you get to the Pros because that we will be a guarantee W on the schedule.

No not really, LSP is the only logical choice as Outlawz and Taint already confirmed. I don't know why anyone else would even offer when it is painfully clear he belongs nowhere else but in a Pelican uniform and to rob us Pelicans of this privelege would be a sickening manifestation of greed on the part of whoever else signed him. Since he has dominated us for so long, and we now have the ability to sign him, we must do so and noone else should even thing of prying him from us..that would just be imprudent and terribly inappropriate.

LSP+Linkler= CHAMPIONSHIP in season 8 book it
