This is my update on my time in Seattle. This article will also give some reasons players will want to live in Seattle. I also included some pictures of interesting places to visit in Seattle.



I have been very busy after I signed my contract with the Seattle Stormtroopers. I have had many practices. I have also had a preseason game. I will be playing my first regular season game on Monday.

I previously mentioned that I had decided not to hire an agent. I knew that most agents would want between 10 and 20 percent commission. I do not want to pay that. Some people think its crazy but I was able to hire a personal assistant and a travel agency and an accountant. Their combined salaries were less than some agents wanted.

I had my personal assistant look for a place for me to stay. The Crowne Plaza Hotel was selected for me to stay. This hotel was selected for the following reasons:
• New Sleep Advantage™ beds
• Expert concierge services
• 24-hour fitness & business center access
• Event & meeting space for up to 400 attendees
• On-site dining at the Regatta Bar & Grille
• 34 stories of fabulous cityscape views
• High-Speed Wireless Internet (additional fee)


Seattle might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about a city to move to. Seattle has a lot of sport teams.

I visited the following site in order to find out some other interesting places to visit.

This was the information that I was provided.

This article showed that their are several things to do in Seattle. The Seattle Stormtroopers should also be one of the best teams in the UFSL. This should attract free agents to our team.

Hopefully this article will look better than my attempt last week.

Content 1.75/2 A lot of this article seems to be directly taken from that website. If so, there weren't 500 words of your own content. There were more than enough words if you include that, so I'm not taking a lot off, but still it does seem to match up a lot.

Creativity 1/1 A look at the player's actual life, as opposed to football stuff, yes it's creative.

Grammar 1.75/2 Enough considering the length of the piece. I'm usually a little harsher than most, so you'll probably end up rounding to a 5, but I left you right in the middle so it's at the next guy's discretion.


its - it's
personal assistant and a travel agency and an accountant - personal assistant, travel agency, and accountant.
sport - sports
interests people - interests that people
Catapault - Catapult
their - there

4.5/5
