A fanfiction of this year's somewhat 'disorienting' array of disparate American football teams, arrayed in a distinctively 'diagonal' orientation, inspired loosely by Any Given Sunday (Oliver Stone). Enjoy (and thanks for reading),
====
There were no boundaries in football anymore. It was anyone's game. The pool was wide-open, and there was no standard for standard strategy, as the teams were basically in a matrix for diagonal kamikaze inventive gaming. The heavyweights would be potentially taken down by any given underdog or dark-horse, and the regular-season rankings amounted to nothing more but simple odds and attitude(s). Of course, the favorites, the Bucs, the Cowboys, and the Chiefs, were very strong in appearance. However, the dark-horse Eagles, the Steelers, Raiders, and even the 49ers boasted enough 'talent' to outshine the 'supposed' heavyweights. One sports-writer commented it felt like backyard football but on the national stage and hence completely kamikaze. Was this deformity, anarchy, or something else? Of course, in the rest of the world 'football' was called 'soccer' and quite popular, but in America, it was purely football, a throwing and tackling and defense and running game of two teams with helmets and grit and lots at stake.
Now, the Rams were a 'wild' team with very varied offensive styles and a new QB in Stafford, a transfer from the once-rising Lions. The Rams were underdogs 'technically' and not supposed to go far, but they eyed other comparable underdogs/dark-horses like the upstart Bills and the defiant Patriots, playing without a Goliath-QB who now played for the Bucs. The Bucs meanwhile would square off against the still-defiant Eagles who just might be able to take down the Bucs and their Goliath-QB, as they did when this special QB titan played for the now-aspiring Patriots. That was some time ago, and this year, in the playoffs, the Rams were poised to make a 'wild' run with their 'wild' style of kamikaze football. One sports-writer suggested this 'style' of diagonal sports was something like a computer-algorithm called 'Deformer' which referred to a chaotic-system grid-pattern of coordinate deformation indicative of free-range offense-defense axes.
If the Eagles managed to down the Goliath-QB boasting Bucs, they'd be able to perhaps get past some other heavyweights like the Cowboys and Packers, but would they defeat another rising dark-horse like the Bills or Patriots who had their own attitude(s) towards free-play and inventive offense and obsessive defense! This was a time of nihilism or anarchism or simply 'Deformer' algorithm football-play. The helpless football field cheerleaders, gorgeously uniformed/outfitted, were simply performing choreographed orientations of sports-cheering, felt like all they'd be doing was performing a sort of designed liberty-themed angel-fire dancing. Was this normal or the triumph of complex 'Deformer' sports? Fortunately, the clever 49ers QB, 'JG' who exhibited great swift-strides in running and throwing diagonal zone-shifts, just might offer this playoff bracket a sense of 'divine' dots...but who'd actually win?
