Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

 

My name is IJ. I’m writing this letter early because I know what I want, but don’t want to forget later in the year. There are a lot of good people in the world, and normally I’d ask for a cure for coronavirus or some shit like that to make everyone happy. But fuck that.

 

It’s Madden Season.

 

Here’s my top 5 wishes for the M21 cycle:

 

  1. More Engagement from All League Members - I don’t know how everyone else feels about it, but I know its been said before and I’ll say it again: Redzone is better off when people actually give a shit. This league is unmatched when we’re getting consistent blogs, tweets, podcasts, videos from EVERYONE and not just the usual suspects. It’s time to step this shit up so we can all be more invested in what we’re doing.

 

  1. Success for Spence - I spent a whole lot of time arguing with Spencer last year about whether or not he would be successful with the Steelers. We know how that turned out. Spence is a good kid, and the last thing I want is for his RZ legacy to be stuck among the Turtles, White Gregs, and Glenns of the league. I’m at the front of the line for a Spence playoff run.

 

  1. Lemme Run It Back - It’s no secret that I FUCKING HATED Madden 19. Easily one of my least favorite years of the series, and I spent the whole cycle with my beloved Dallas Cowboys. The fact that happened hurts worse than having baby Mahomes and baby Kareem Hunt in M18. I’ve also stated many, many times, despite all its flaws, Madden 20 is one of the most fun in the series imo. If that fun factor carries over to M21, I’d love to run another cycle with my Boys, where I can be fully invested in the team and game.

 

  1. Parity - At the beginning of the cycle, it truly felt like everyone had the chance to breakout, go on a run and make something happen. Looking back, even though we had some first time Super Bowl champions, the playoff picture was largely familiar in terms of users. I don’t necessarily know what can be done to improve parity in the league, but I hope we see more new faces finding success and adding competition.

 

  1. What’s Beef? - MORE. RIVALRIES. Best part of RZ hands down. Tiko vs Pat. WG vs Moji. WG vs Spence. WG vs…..you get the idea. When people are invested, the competition is better, when the comp is better, people fight. I know Adel is promoting a more positive environment for RZ, but I need that negativity in my life. RZ beef has provided some of the greatest moments in recent memory, from Tiko’s Moonwalker video, to “Oh, damn Silk!” The league is what it is because of these.
