“Player Chatter” is a new series consisting entirely of player quotes, thoughts, and feelings from around the league. All current AUDL players were sent a handful of prompts earlier this week designed to be as open-ended as possible. Additionally, players were asked to vote in a single-question, multiple choice survey.
From the standpoint of intensity, drama, and fierce, elite competition, Saturday’s 30th all-time meeting between New York and DC was about as good as regular season ultimate can get. Even when reason and odds both strongly suggest that the most important Empire-Breeze matchup this year will come in the playoffs, the Week 3 appetizer was unbelievably delicious, just like most every recent battle between these two star-studded franchises.
Throughout the 2023 season, the AUDL’s weekly honor roll will be revealed each Monday, honoring seven players whose individual exploits merit recognition. The players are listed alphabetically by last name.
