Billy Lynch, a New Novaffl Recruit Speaks Out!

Here is a story of a man, by the name of Billy "Badass" Lynch, known for heroism and grandeur and a touch of unbridled irresponsibility (when examined in light of his football demeanor) couched in frank "Southy" behavior. The last reference being tribute to his Bostonian roots, which of course he considers a mark on his record rather than a plus.

Leave it to the Irishman to explain his reasons for his angst, but good luck, you'd have to drill deep inside the psyche of a man married to a woman who received her post college education degrees at the precocious age of 12. Also, trying to figure out his roots will cause problems when you hear the incessant noise of "Dropkick Murphy's" blasting all around him as he enters the game.

Billy, made his impression felt when he was found by Ali in a pickup game and subsequently recruited by Madcap to fill in some defensive holes and to play center for the Spartans. He and Grover, had words and threatening gestures at one of the games including a perceived bad call by groverb when the Spartans owned the Rain and the Deckers in Season III.

Moreover, Billy has been commented as saying "Ill put you in the hospital" against some players on the Nonamers for what he thought were cheap shots.

In any event, people cannot deny the fact that Billy was the first Novaffl denizen to actually leave a game midway through - never to return -- due to a damsel being in distress on Route 1 in Alexandria (October 07). Essentially, Billy saved a woman from getting physically abused - in contrast to ad hoc Novaffl warnings via Ty and others who claimed it was too dangerous to get involved.

Is it easier to turn a blind eye or actually intercede? Billy did the latter. You judge his character and ask what would you have done?

In the end, as usual I let the reader evaluate Billy, and whether his chaotic ways are foolhardy, benevolent or a combination of both. Either way, this eccentric conservative has gained Novaffl's respect. Check him out here:

Madcap interviews "Badass Billy Lynch:"

Welcome, novaffl elite, today we have Billy "badass" Lynch

Billy, tell me where you originate from?

Billy: I was born and raised for the most part in Albany NY

me: Tell us about your high school and college experience?

Billy: I went to a military HS called CBA, then after the varsity coach was fired I transferred to a school called Shenendahowa and finished there.

me: I see, did you have personality problems with the team?

Billy: I was given a scholarship to Valley Forge military college and played one season before a head injury took me off the field for a few years

me: What position is your mainstay?

Billy: No. My mother did not want me to stay a a school where the football program was a mess

me: Billy, did you get in personality problems in high school and college

Billy: Free Safety. I became a safety in 9th grade

me: Yes, excellent my friend, are you saying no comment

to the above question

Billy: No. I never had an issue with any teammates.

me: What about opposing teams, kids from other schools? Is this a fiercely loyal Irish characteristic or unique to Mr. Lynch?

Billy: Sure. I tend not to like my opponents. If I'm playing against you, then I dont like you. Before and afterwards we can be friends but while on the field, I don't like you.

me: Also, briefly describe your first Novaffl league game, and what happened when Groverb moderated your game

Billy: Ha. I played some LB in that game and I was playing against a real loud mouth. He tried to take me deep and I covered him real well. When the QB throw the ball, I came over the top and swated it down. I'm used to having my down field arm around the WR cause its what you learn playing DB. But Grover saw it otherwise --------I got called for PI (Pass Interference)

me: I see what did you call Groverb after that call

Billy: Not sure but probably something bad. I dont like refs and WR's. But I have to at least respect the refs. So, it was his call to make and he made it. All I could do was go with it.

me: Isnt it true, "You said Im going to break your neck."Also this season, you said you were going to send someone to the hospital is this correct Mr. Lynch?

Billy: Hahaha. No.

me: Well, a witness says the latter is correct

Billy: Because some lineman was lining up in the neutral zone illegally

Billy: And yes, I did tell someone if they punch me in the throat again, there were gonna spen the night in a hospital bed. haha. This guy kept giving me a forearm to the throat

me: Lets talk about Groerb real quick, how about you reveal your announcement to the body Novaffl politic

Billy: and he meant to -- which is?

me: IS it true you have quit the Spartans in order to check out other teams?

Billy: It is true that I have left the spartans to join another team. But not for personal reasons

me: Tell the public which team you've joined this is what they are waiting for

Billy: I'm going to join the Cutters.

Me: Yes, is it true, you will fill the versatility gap with Straw gone? Sources say you can Qb. Also safety and WR

Billy: I can play a little QB but that's not what I will be doing there. I prefer not to play offense but I'll play where ever the team asks me to play.

me: I think we need to reveal the new GM of the Cutters Who is your new chief?

Billy: Not sure. I'm a little too fresh to know all the details I guess.

me: Just refer all management decisions to the Norseman. Novaffl knows who he is. (Brett Murder She Wrote REDRUM is the new chief of the Cutters)

Now lets conclude this interview with a Comparison to Joe Ferg's league, the tourney you played in:

Billy: Am I not supposed to swear on this?

me: Say whatever you want the real shit unbridled.

Billy: Fuck thoses guys! That league was fucking stupid. No down field blocking!! And they have all kinds of stupid fucking rules. Those dudes were ok guys but that leagues got some real fucking issues

me: Elaborate a litle bit on the rules that sucked the most

Billy: Like I said,no blocking other than on the line. And they have NO clue how to do a kick off or how to start the game. and the games are like 40 minutes long

the games are over way too fast

Me: One final thing, would you like to thank anyone in particular for finding the Lynch in the obscure Novaffl landscape?

Billy: Sure, I'd like to thank Jason from Steel Rain for finding me on craigslist (but never e-mailed me back to play) and for Ali for trading someone for me to become a Spartan and for MadCap for having me on his team and and helping me to stay out of some trouble during games!

me: is this the best pickup shit you ever played in?

Billy: I'm an honest guy and that being said. I played for years in a league in NY that was just great. But it was older and really well funded. So hopefully NOVAFFL can get to that level too. And I'll do what I can to help that out!
