Marquee Baller Q & A
w/3rd & Long. special correspondent to the MWS/

Today we sit down with Reality Wynn a final four player at nationals 4. Reality came out of nowhere to get into the final 4. Many people on the east coast had never heard of him or his game. He played with Denver and with his stick control and the use of the big Denver WR’S took him to the final 4. Reality lost to ICE Ellis who went on to win the championship.

We expect to see Reality in the finals at upcoming tourneys in the future. He is a baller who plays the game with passion and class. Good Luck at Nationals!

3RD&Long: Tell us about the LABC?
RW: The LABC is a new league started recently, I wanted my own identity for a league and I spoke with the commissioner from the MPL about breaking away, got his blessing thus the LABC was birthed.

3RD&Long: Why leave the MPL?
RW: Basically the LABC will allow me to do a little more, linking up with other ballers and hosting more tourneys and get more support and assistance with tourneys and events.

3RD&Long: What would you say about the notion that that the West Coast is weak.
RW: People said that stuff last year, a lot of east coast cat’s woofing. However I did not see anybody east of the Mississippi in the final 4 of the Nationals last year. In fact the champ knocked out quite a few of the west coast guys, including Headbuster.

3RD&Long: Let’s talk about the Nationals 4, you lost to ICE what do you remember about that loss?
RW: Strong Flood that play is what I remember more than anything else. I wish I had seen the play to get a better understanding of when he was going to run it. I would have been better prepared to stop it. I found out later he could only run it when he was in the middle of the field, when he was not in the middle of the field I was playing to try and stop the strong flood and he would run the sweep. It was just a great play I wish I had found it.

3RD&Long: What would you is the strongest part of your game?
RW: My stick control is the strongest part of my game. That is one of the reasons I don’t like online play, it takes away from your stick control. I try to play as straight as possible no goaline etc. In fact I put 2002 in the playstation and found that goaline audible down did not work like this years version.

3RD&Long: What about online play and your thoughts about it?
RW: I am in the BFL online league. I think it is good for tourneys and leagues. I do feel it has closed the gap between players with people taping games and getting better by playing so many games. Also fewer secrets are out there now.

3RD&Long: Who are the other top ballers in your league?
RW: I would say Powder, Lance he has won several tourneys The Goat, Act Right is getting his game together and the EA sports champ for LA
C Web.

3RD&Long: I know you are huge Cowboy fan do you plan on using them in Miami.
RW: Yes I do. I think out a show of respect you should run with your squad. They look pretty good with the updated rosters they have 4 WR’S with 90 or better speed and the LB’S got a great update with Hardy.

3RD&Long: Your thoughts on Vegas and what you saw at that tourney as far as game styles.
RW: I saw a wide range of talent and skills, lots of goaline and a lot of the big 3. I think you will see Mike Vick in Miami a lot.

3RD&Long: What can be done to make the Nationals experience better.
RW: We need to schedule more activities other than just the game itself perhaps outside of the hotel a dinner or something.

3RD&Long: I saw in the Nationals video you were telling people how the west was going to win it, what do you think happened.
RW: ICE and the strong flood play. It caught us off guard and the blitzes people were running we were not ready for them.

Thanks again Reality!
