The Waiver Wire Episode 1 - New Target


Week 13
November 27th, 2019

Fox River Penitentiary


PA System
Prisoner #072295 transport to visitation.


Narrator
For the past year, Ezekiel Elliott has been serving a life sentence
 without the possibility of parole
for his involvement in several murders linked the the Barksdale organization.
Today, he has an unexpected visitor.


Kanye West
Hear me... and rejoice.
For you are about to be graced by the presence of the almighty Donald J. Trump.
Kneel, as you NFL players were designed to do.
Your Savior has come to rescue you.




Ezekiel Elliott
Yo. What the fuck is this shit?
You're a sellout.
Doing the bidding for your master.
And if the President still has a problem with the NFL's kneeling.. then tell him--



President Trump
We're past kneeling.


The President has entered the room with secret service canvassing the area.


Ezekiel Elliott
You got some nerve coming in here.
The news is saying, they about to lock your ass up.
After that shit you just pulled, we might end up as cellmates.
There ain't no way you're winning the election now.
They're about to impeach you.
So I don't know what it is you came here for...
For what? To make an example out of me?


President Trump
Trust me.
I haven't come all this way to make an example out of you.
That would be an incredible waste of time. Believe me.
An incredible waste of time.
And there won't be an impeachment either.
It's one big hoax. Phony.
But let me tell you what's real...
The Star in Dallas.

Ezekiel Elliott
The star in what...?


President Trump
I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand.
Information like this should be left to those with really high IQs.
Those like myself or those like Kanye.
I am very smart, believe me.
I am very good with words.
I use the best words.


Ezekiel Elliott
The fuck are you talking about man?

President Trump
Let me explain this in laymen's terms for you.
Ezekiel, you possess a foreign power.
A cosmic entity that is beyond this world.
This power has made you the best player on the Dallas Cowboys.
Ezekiel, you are very good.
But your talent is not God given talent.
Your talent comes from a special source.
A powerful source.
A Fantasy Stone known as The Star in Dallas.


President Trump
You see, Zeke.
May I call you Zeke?
Zeke, in 2017, I came looking for you.
The Explosion in Dallas was because of you.
I blew up an entire football stadium because I needed to get to you.
You are a piece of a puzzle that I am trying to complete.
If I collect all six Fantasy Stones,
I could simply snap my fingers....
And Make America Great Again.


Ezekiel Elliott
You're even more insane than they say you are.



President Trump
I am the chosen one.
And I have to do the things that my predecessors failed to do.
I will beat China.
And then I will eradicate this country of its illegal immigrants, the liberals,
the inactive Fantasy Managers, and all of their supporters.
They cannot be allowed to stay in America without repercussions.
They must be eliminated so that that the children of tomorrow
can have full bellies and nothing but clear blue skies.
This is the only way that American jobs, factories, production,
trade, and the American economy can rise once again.
Countries like China are catching up.
They're ripping us off left and right.
 But with the snap of my finger...
America rises to the top once again.
This country will thrive because of my actions.
With the snap of my finger,
 I can deport every illegal immigrant and all of their supporters.
They'll cease to exist... just like that.


Ezekiel Elliott
You're talking about genocide.



President Trump
I'm talking about salvation.
I'm a survivor, Ezekiel.
And I know you are too.
You spent last season riding with your homies and living the life of the streets.
And look where that got you.
The Cowboys won't offer you a new contract.
And now you're facing life behind bars without the possibility of parole.
Where are your homies now?
What happened to your posse?
We told you to shut up and carry the football.
Instead, you and your people wanted to make a statement.
You protested the National Anthem and made me destroy the XFL.
Then... once I took football away from you.
You further ruined your life by turning to the streets.
Now, you're spending the rest of your days behind bars.


Ezekiel Elliott
That ain't nothing man.
You know what they say.
You only do two days.
The day you go in and the day you come out.

President Trump
What is that? Your mantra?
You people need to start looking at the bigger picture.
Guys like Jim Brown and Kanye, they understand.
They know what I am trying to do for this country.
I need the Star in Dallas, Ezekiel.
I'm giving you a chance to be apart of the solution.
Behind these bars, you have nothing left.
Your homies can't do anything for you.

Ezekiel Elliott
And what can you do for me?



President Trump
How about a Presidential pardon?

"What exactly have I won?" - Rocksonberg


Present Day
Week 1


Narrator
Over the course of the offseason, 
Prop Vinny and Kevlo Stanfield have been arranging regular meetings 
to discuss the future of the drug trade in San Francisco.


Prop Vinny
It's that time again.
A new season in the West Coast Cousins.
It's only a matter of time before the SCGD unit comes back together and the heat is on us again.
But this time, we'll be prepared.
We have a league of our own.
The New Day Co-Op.
Never before has a group of drug dealers been able to come together for a common cause.
I'm proud of what we've achieved and so long as there is trust within in the Co-Op.
The playoffs are within sight.


Kevlo Stanfield
As long as you keep the supply of blue meth coming in...
I don't see why not.

Prop Vinny
The Greek may be gone.
But the flow of blue magic has been steady with his protege Carson Wentz able to produce the crystal meth to the same quality as this... Rocksonberg.
We don't really need The Greek anymore so long as Wentz is willing to do business.


Kevlo Stanfield
What about Oumar?
The boy locked up, but word is, the faggot still breathing.


Prop Vinny
You let me worry about Oumar.
Come this Sunday, he should be in for a surprise.
I got some people on the inside ready to take him out at a moment's notice.
Talk about bad Luck.


Narrator
Since last season's Finals loss, Victor Oumar has been sitting in county jail awaiting his court appearance for the murder of a delivery lady.
And inside County Jail, Victor Oumar is an unpopular Fantasy Manager,
having robbed many of the inmates residing at 850 Bryant.


Narrator
Victor Oumar sits alone in his cell, realizing he won't survive long in the confines of a jail cell.


The door opens and Derrius Guice walks in.
Victor Oumar prepares for a fight with the runningback,
as Oumar squares up, Guice pulls out a shank.


Guice smirks as Oumar is prepared to die.

Derrius Guice
LeGarette Blount sent us.

Victor Oumar is relieved and daps up Guice.


Derrius Guice
Come on.
We got work to do.

Narrator
Over in the Seattle Crime and Government Department, 
the SCGD Unit has returned for a new season in the WCC.
Today, Det. Howard runs their first meeting.


Det. Howard
So what we have here...
Is a new target.


Det. Howard
Kevlo Stanfield.


Kyle Rudolph
Wait a minute.
Kevlo Stanfield?
I thought this fucker's name was Marlo Stealthy?


Det. Howard
It was.
However, over the offseason, 
Marlo Stealthy legally changed his name to Kevlo Stanfield.
We figure, he thinks the heat is getting onto him.
And by changing his name... maybe he'll be off our radar.
Either that, or he was recasted by a new Fantasy Manager.
We're not exactly sure which one yet.


Det. Minh
Be that as it may... Kevlo Stanfield is considered extremely dangerous.
Marlo Stealthy was a strong regular season Fantasy Manager.
He put up points, but ultimately, he didn't amount to much here in the WCC.
On the other hand, this, Kevlo Stanfied.
We don't know anything about him.
We're starting from scratch.
We suspect that he's responsible for the bodies found in the vacants last season.
Our goal is to tie him to those bodies and we got ourselves a case.
Gather more information about Kevlo and build from the ground up.


Det. Tai
I don't know about this one.
He doesn't seem like a kingpin to me.
Just some up and coming punk.
He's not a real threat.


Det. Minh
Yeah? And who is the real threat?


Det. Tai
Kenneth Bell.

Det. Minh
Oh hell, boy.
Are you gonna at least pretend like this shit ain't all about you?
Kenneth Bell has been quiet all offseason.
And by the looks of it, he didn't draft so well.
There is no case to build on Kenneth Bell.
And until there is, the bosses want us to Kevlo Stanfield.



Det. Tai
Fuck the bosses.
What do they know about real police work?
You let a fucker like Kenneth Bell stay on the street, he's gonna build his army.
If his draft wasn't good, his free agency acquisitions will be.
You can't win if you don't try.
The target is Kenneth Bell.
It's always been Kenneth Bell.
And the longer we let him stay on the street, the less likely we are of catching him.
Am I the only one who sees this?

Det. Minh
Are you really that arrogant?
What the hell is wrong with you?


Det. Tai
What is wrong with me?
The fuck is wrong with you?
I put this team together last season and we nearly got the job done.
And now, you're about to fuck this entire thing up.
If nobody will back me up, I'll do it myself.
I'll catch Kenneth Bell.
And if you don't like it, you better stay out of my way.
Because I ain't afraid to hit an old man.

Det. Minh
You're not even worth the skin off my knuckles, junior.

Det. Tai storms out of the office.


Det. Minh
Forget about him!
We don't need him.
Joyce, what's the latest on the Blue Magic?
A couple of Kevlo's corners were found to be slinging the blue meth.
Is The Greek back in town?


Det. Joyce
Not that we know of.
There's no sign of The Greek... or this Rocksonberg from any of my sources.
The Waiver Wire is quiet...
All indications say he's still MIA.
But the blue meth is still flooding the streets...
If he's not supplying it... someone else is.


Narrator
In an undisclosed location, Rocksonberg is visited by his kicker, Robbie Gould.

Rocksonberg
So... a new season is upon us.
What did I miss last season?


Robbie Gould
Quite a bit has happened since you left.
Some cousins in the WCC got married... someone got engaged.
Andrew Luck retired.
Oh... and The Baugh won the 2018 League Championship.

Rocksonberg
You're kidding me.
That shitty actor who plays the same character in every movie?


Robbie Gould
Afraid so.
Oh... and Blue Magic.
It's all over the streets.

Rocksonberg
What? How...?
That impos... Wentz.
Carson Wentz.
I need to make a phone call.


Robbie Gould
I don't think that's a good idea, Rocksonberg.
You're out the game.
No one can touch you if you're not in the game.
And it's $20 to get back in the game...
It's not worth your time.
You cannot lose if you do not play.
So why not quit while you're ahead?


Rocksonberg
What exactly have I won?
Two WCC League Championships... but none of them for money.
And to top it off, last season's embarrassing finish.
12th place in 2018.
No, I will not stand for it.
They won't remember me for my victories, only my losses.
So I have to erase last season's memory of me.
And I will not let some injury prone, overrated, second rate cook, 
use my formula and ruin my product.
No. This is my legacy!
Get me a phone.


Rocksonberg dials an unknown number.

Rocksonberg
It's me.
I'm ready to talk business.

Narrator
The mark of a true champion is defined by their consistency.
To be the hardest worker in the room, means to go above and beyond.
For the 2018 League Champion, that journey has been year round.
Inside the Iron Paradise, there is no offseason.


The Baugh
All work is what?
Easy work!

Narrator
Between media events, filming Hobbs & Shaw, 
returning to the WCC, scouting Fantasy Players,
 lifting weights and his continued search for Justinmonger.
The Baugh has kept himself busy in his first title defense here in the West Coast Cousin.


Narrator
Today, The Baugh is working out with his first round draft pick.
Tight End, Travis Kelce.


The Baugh
Come on Travis!
Push that shit!
You get out when you put in.
Show me you deserve to be a first round pick.


As The Baugh is wrapping up his workout session, he's interrupted by an unexpected guest.


Mr. Nobody
Early morning workout, huh?
No rest for the wicked, I guess.

The Baugh
I'm busy. What do you want?


Mr. Nobody
I would've thought you'd be back with the SCGD unit 
looking to arrest Ronald McDonald or something.
But here you are... exercising.

The Baugh
I ain't in that unit no more.
Those pieces of trash couldn't handle the Mustang Way.
Plus, I ride better solo anyways.
So are you gonna keep wasting The Baugh's time
or are you gonna tell me why you're here.

Mr. Nobody
I thought you should know, all that work you did last season.
Arresting Jesse Barksdale. 
Bang up job, honestly.
Real good work.
But I'm afraid it's all for nothing.
Barksdale is being released later this afternoon.


The Baugh
Bullshit.
He has at least 6 more months.

Mr. Nobody
Good behavior.
I know. What can I tell you?
The correctional system is a joke.
But don't take my word for it.
See for yourself.





At Fox River Penitentiary, Jesse Barksdale is released from prison.
Having served his time, he returns to the outside world as a productive member of society. 


Jesse Barksdale
Haha! My man.
And we got my draft in order?
Two elite wide receivers added to the team?
That shit is tight.
Too sweet, mother fucker.

Kenneth Bell
Haha. For life!
Welcome home my brother.


Jesse Barksdale
Man, there's sign on the other end of that door that says
"Never Again."
That's the only thing I want to take away from this mother fucker.
I don't ever want to see the inside of this ugly ass building ever again.

Kenneth Bell
Haha. No doubt.
Let's take you home, my man.


Kenneth Bell
So now that you're home.
What's the first thing you want to do?

Jesse Barksdale
I want the throne, baby.
I want the throne.
