Anthony Barr flexes in the mirror, the physique is flawless, high elves buy his sponsored hair products but is it enough?

A season 1 contender for player of the year. Season 2 was disappointing, not even selected for the Pro Bowl squad, Barr looks at his reflection. Is it worth anything? Is he the killer everyone believes he is?

Today is the day, he comes up against long standing rival Dont'a Hightower of the team people fancy to win the superbowl. Don'ta is supported by the likes of Khalil Mack and Deone Bucannon both fearsome opponents on their own yet Barr knows, the only truth is when you and your opponent look each other in the eye and one of you knows the other will take everything you can give to visit more pain on you, than you can visit on them to break not only your body but your will. Barr knows that Hightower will fall underneath him. Hightower will break.

Barr grins, after today he will be the the PREMIER killer within the DLE, Hightower, Khalil, these are yesterdays men, the new man, the one to take centre stage is here. Barr will rule the division. Today Barr and the Sluggers will lay down the marker that other teams will be measured by and fall short too.

Then Barr sniggers, thinking of work the groundsmen are doing, as special welcome to the Sluggers ground, regardless of how this goes players WILL die, the Patriots will break and Barr will get more revenue from his sponsorship, maybe even that deal with luxary leather and witch elves will happen.

The future is good, the future is Barr and Sluggers.
