The road thru 7 years: AFC NORTH
A Brief Chronicle of 2019 through 2025. The ups and downs. Division battles, individual achievements. The moves that bring victory or defeat. The transformation of a league over 7 vicious seasons.
The AFC North has had a great cast of characters this cycle and most of the rotation was from the Steelers. The Browns, the old Browns, and the Bengals have been consistent with the same 3 owners from the start. Unless I’m wrong (it happens) Elder statesman woods in his mid 40’s has held his own vs upstart college grad meats, and young current college student Rowincuh and they have had some bloody battles. New Steelers owner MadBomber has one full season to show the afc North and the SML what he has before madden 21.

The Bengals have had one owner, Rowincuh, a good kid, in college and an always positive presence in the chat. The AFC North is a brutal division and despite putting together winning seasons and having good success, the Bengals haven’t been able to secure a playoff berth. They have made a combination of good draft picks such as qb Sherman and smart trades like Billingsley to build a potent offensive squad. Other decisions have been questionable, like trading Mixon, but that is the nature of the beast. This may not be the cycle for rowincuh but he is a young future star in the SML.

The Steelers have had a laundry list of owners from Axtion Jaxson, Busdriver? Seals, and now the one and only MadBomber. Supposedly a big sensation in the Primer the Bomber has leapt onto the Sml scene with a lot of high quality content at a stage in the madden cycle when most people are burning out and falling off. A clear asset to head into madden 21 with, the madbomber looks ready to explode in the SML for good.

Meats has been with the league for a long time. He makes cool graphics and took the reins of a strong Ravens team this season. A madden bowl contender level roster out the gate, meats enhanced the team drafting some offensive linemen and stand out half back Freddie Golden. Meats is a co-host of the only live sml live streaming show. He has several super-bowl appearances as an announcer. Maybe this is Meats season now that Konk is gone.

Woods has had some ups and downs this cycle with the Mighty browns, from contending with division rival Meats to the erratic play of Baker Mayfield. The browns however have been a drafting machine. Picking good players that made talented veterans tradeable which in turn became more talented players while keeping the cap low. The Browns have the personnel game figured out. In addition Woods is an excellent chat presence and all around liked member of the league. He looks to end the cycle with at least one Simbardi.
The road thru 7 years : NFC SOUTH
A Brief Chronicle of 2019 through 2025. The ups and downs. Division battles, individual achievements. The moves that bring victory or defeat. The transformation of a league over 7 vicious seasons.
The NFC South is one of the SML’s most cut throat divisions, most stable divisions, and the activity level from this division is always high. The Buccaneers under the leadership of Noleoverlord began the cycle with a stranglehold on the division but recently had a serious injury has caused him to require an interim owner. It will be interesting to see how he alters the dynamic of the NFC South. The Panthers are helmed by the always dry witted and ruthlessly intelligent MikeFML. His frank articulation of the obvious and cynical appraisal of every matter under the sun keeps the chat continuously interesting. The New Orleans Saints belong to be always awesome, always smooth and always positive ZZTheGREAT!! ZZ doesn’t consistently win games but he is always a potential upset every week and any season could be his. He cohosts the 3rd most popular SML network Show and keeps the chat fun. Finally the NFC South is rounded out by the Master of the Meme, NYT. His team building skills have positioned him to have a strong final season in madden 20. His brutal Yankee charm makes him invaluable to the league chat. This division has no weak links when Nole is healthy and it is interesting to see what the new owner will bring to this quadruple of teams.

The Buccaneers have only had one owner for the first 7 seasons of the cycle but the swan song will be orchestrated by an interim owner due to an injury to the mighty noleoverlord. The Bucs have taken the core of their team and built it into a powerful contender. Built through the draft the bucs still have many role players from the original roster. The new owner inherits a Winston lead passing game with dynamic receivers and a running game that features the injury prone homerun hitter French. Causticcrusader has been brought up from the Primer and this is his chance to secure an SML team in M21. Welcome to the show.

MikeFML is an SML Pillar, from providing an essential and unique presence in the chat and community he is also the commissioner of the primer which has been feeding us a dependable stream of SML caliber owners that keep the league running at an optimum level. Mike can beat anyone in his division specifically and the league generally. Mike understands the chess match and strategy as well as the physical brutality of the game. Like Belichek he knows when to trade away good players and make sure he gets something for them. The NFC South Rivalries are some of the best in the SML and Mike is a big reason.

Saints owner, co-commish, cohost of the 3rd best SML network programming, zz is the class of the Sml. ZZ is another owner that though not in possession of the best win loss record in the league, fights his hardest in every game he plays. He has fought through this cycle with an assortment of washed up vets and high draft pick stars. Always a fun and friendly voice in the chat, ZZ is an essential element of the SML Family. Wins and loses with style and grace, ZZthegreat makes the SML a lot greater than most leagues.

The Owner of the Falcons is the humor bone of the SML. Always sharing the ultimate combination of inappropriately hilarious memes and gifs, Nyt is an invaluable asset in the SML. His spot on call outs of bullshit when he sees it has time and time again been the best part of the chat on a given day. Building primarily through the draft NYT has built on his core nucleus of Falcons and is a regular presence in the NFC playoff picture. NYT has built a strong team and is competing during a part of the madden cycle that he is usually too busy working to be a force during. It’s been a strange year.
My prediction on the Finish:
1st Falcons
2nd Panthers
3rd Buccaneers
4th Saints
Up next we will be putting the battel hardened AFC North under the microscope in the third installment of through the years.
The road thru 7 years : AFC EAST
A Brief Chronicle of 2019 through 2025. The ups and downs. Division battles, individual achievements. The moves that bring victory or defeat. The transformation of a league over 7 vicious seasons.
This week’s look is at the AFC East. Arguably the toughest division in The SML. 3 of the 4 owners are handpicked from the primer. Elite owners that hit the ground running and have all made significant noise in the league. Comprised of Konk’s abrasive and instigating chat presence and super bowl appearance; QB’s insightful eloquence on every subject imaginable and dedication to the league and his super bowl win; KJ’s always fun and interesting chat presence and potential to play spoiler any given week; and finally the SML veteran and super bowl runner up Royce, this division is one of many Jewel’s in the SML Crown.
*this Entry was made before the departure of the Bills owner Konk. The SML is an ever evolving entity and thus alive.

From the Owner Prolific, to Konk the Bills have been an AFC power. Building through a combination of free agent pickups, blockbuster trades and smart drafting the Bills remain relevant and are never an easy win for anyone. A combination of Dangerous madden player, strong team builder and strong active chat presence Konk is an interesting SML character. Bang Bang Bang Niner Gang. As of posting this, polarizing Bills owner Konklusians has been replaced with primer star LatinYank. A powerful addition. Welcome to the show.

Royce has been the only jets owner and plays against talented owner’s week in and week out. Known as a good defensive player and strong runner Royce is a factor in any playoff race. He is not a big shit talker, the type of man who lets his game do his talking. His weekly articles are must reads. Any league would be lucky to have an owner like Royce and the SML is proud to have him.

The First Dolphins owner took an early break from the game but is back with the bears. The Current Dolphins KJSlander is great guy. Good family man, Titans fan and great SML owner. Active in chat, always works to get his games in. He has had a rough time finding a qb for his team. That is the Story of the SML 20 Dolphins. QB troubles. Kj plays tough and never rolls over. If you want the win you have to fight him for four quarters.

The Patriots have had a strong Run, from Brady to Goff. Envy to QBStud. Envy was an active but controversial owner, basically a combination of Meats and Konk. Considered Prime’s Achilles Heel Envy burnt out quick and has been replaced by a more stable but equally active owner in QB Stud. A former high school qb, this player dissects defenses like a surgeon. Sitting with one super bowl championship already, the Patriots have the roster and the owner to get another one.
I predict a division finish to be:
1st Patriots
2nd Jets
3rd Dolphins
4th Bills *(this prediction was made prior to the recent ownership change)
