The morning sun bathed Brewster’s Café in a warm, inviting glow as Alexandra stepped inside at precisely 10 AM. The café was bustling with the usual morning rush, the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the aroma of baked pastries. Alexandra’s heart beat faster in anticipation of the meeting. She spotted Jeremy already seated at a corner table, nervously stirring his coffee. His eyes lit up when he saw her, a flicker of hope crossing his face.

“Alexandra,” he greeted, standing up awkwardly before sitting back down. She nodded in acknowledgment and ordered her coffee—a caramel macchiato, her favorite—before joining him at the table.

The silence between them was heavy, filled with unspoken words and lingering emotions. Alexandra took a moment to gather her thoughts. She had rehearsed this meeting in her mind countless times, but now that it was happening, everything felt surreal.

Jeremy took a deep breath, breaking the silence. “I’d like to go first if you don’t mind,” he said,

  • Blindside Beauty    The Gameplan of Screw You

    Alexandra stepped into the cozy yet bustling Japanese Sushi restaurant that had become a favorite lunch spot for her and Alicia. The rich aroma of soy and ginger mixed with the sizzling sounds of the grill created an inviting atmosphere. It was precisely 1 PM, and she spotted Alicia at their usual corner table, waving enthusiastically. Alexandra smiled, but her smile widened when she noticed a third person at the table."Heather!" Alexandra exclaimed, surprised. "I didn't know you were joining us today!"Heather stood up, a sly grin on her face. "Alicia thought it would be a good idea to surprise you," she said, giving Alexandra a warm hug."Surprise!" Alicia chimed in, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "We haven’t all been together in a while, and I thought it would be fun."Alexandra hugged Alicia and then took her seat. "This is a wonderful surprise. I've missed our trio."The three women settled into their seats and picked up the menus. Alexandra scanned the options, her eyes flit

  • Blindside Beauty    The Playoff Push

    The familiar buzz of Alexandra's phone pulled her out of her afternoon reverie. It was 4 PM, and she saw Jeremy's name flash on the screen. She quickly opened the message."Hey Alex, I was able to pull some strings and get an additional five minutes during halftime to give the Outlaws recognition for their undefeated regular season. We want to encourage the fans to come support the Outlaws during their playoff and championship push. Also, all the alcohol and food will be ready for you and your teammates in my owner's box. Hope you all have fun and enjoy yourselves at the game. - Jeremy."Alexandra's lips curled into a smile. Jeremy had always been a bit elusive when it came to showing support for the Outlaws, given his primary focus on the Colorado Cannibals. But today seemed different. She quickly texted back."Thanks, Jeremy! This means a lot to us. We'll be there. Looking forward to the game."After sending the message, she texted her teammates that were going to the game with her.

  • Blindside Beauty    Championship Week

    A few weeks had gone by since the Denver Outlaws began their dominating run through the playoffs. The team was on fire, and their momentum seemed unstoppable. For Jeremy, the owner of the Outlaws, the stakes were high, but his confidence in the team was unwavering. During the same period, his other team, the Colorado Cannibals, tore through their opponents to secure a spot in the OK Corral Bowl against the Omaha Cattlemen. With both teams heading into championship games, Jeremy faced a logistical challenge. The Outlaws' game was set for Saturday in Las Vegas, while the Cannibals' game was scheduled for Sunday in Denver. As both team owner and head coach, Jeremy needed to be at both events.Late one night in his office, Jeremy stared at his calendar, scribbling and crossing out potential schedules. His assistant, Melissa, knocked gently on the door. "Jeremy, you look like you could use a break."Jeremy glanced up, a tired smile on his face. "I wish I could, Melissa. I'm trying to figur

  • Blindside Beauty    The Game of Inches

    The Las Vegas sun was beginning its descent, casting a golden glow over the tarmac as Alexandra boarded her flight back to Denver. Her teammates were still basking in the afterglow of their championship victory, their celebration extending through the vibrant nightlife of Vegas. But Alexandra had always been different. She savored the moment but understood the importance of humility and focus. The championship was the pinnacle of her career, yet she knew that resting on her laurels could lead to complacency. As the plane lifted off, Alexandra gazed out the window, the sprawling city of lights shrinking below her. She felt a strange mix of exhilaration and calm. Winning had been a dream come true, but she couldn't shake the feeling that bigger challenges lay ahead. By the time the plane touched down in Denver, it was already 7 PM. She collected her bags and headed home, eager to unwind.The streets of Denver were quieter compared to the buzz of Vegas. As she entered her apartment, she

  • Blindside Beauty    Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    Jeremy's office was bathed in the soft, golden glow of the afternoon sun, casting long shadows on the polished wooden floor. His desk was cluttered with papers, reports, and a laptop where the faces of the WWIF team owners, the league commissioner Larry Helton, and the compliance officer were displayed via a conference call. The tension was palpable as the meeting began, with Jeremy's phone on speaker mode."Larry, are we all set for the meeting?" Jeremy asked, his voice steady but laced with the weight of the upcoming confrontation."Yes, Jeremy," Larry Helton replied, his authoritative tone clear through the speaker. "Everyone from the league will remain silent and on the line during your meeting with Terrell Hillis and Coach Lombardi. We'll intervene only if necessary.""Understood," Jeremy said, a sense of relief washing over him. "Thank you for your cooperation."Just as he finished speaking, the door to his office opened, and Terrell Hillis and Coach Bill Lombardi walked in. Jer

  • Blindside Beauty    Unexpected Opportunities

    After an intense training session, Alexandra sank onto the cold metal bench in the locker room, wiping sweat from her brow. Her muscles ached pleasantly—a reminder of the hard work she’d put in. She reached for her phone, noticing a text from an unknown number. Curiosity piqued, she opened it."Hi Alexandra, this is Jenifer Walter. Hope you don't mind, Jeremy gave me your number after our meeting. I'm in Denver for the next couple of days and would love to meet in person before heading back to Atlanta. Looking forward to hearing from you!"Alexandra blinked in surprise. Jenifer Walter. The name brought a flood of memories and admiration. Jenifer had been the first woman to play in the Wild West Indoor Football League, a formidable linebacker and occasional running back for the Texas Oilers. But why was she reaching out now? And what exactly was Jeremy up to?Taking a deep breath, Alexandra wondered, *Is Jeremy having Jenifer do his dirty work now?* Her relationship with Jeremy was a t

  • Blindside Beauty    Crossroads

    Jeremy Davis sat hunched over his desk, elbows planted on the polished oak, fingers steepled in front of his lips. The office—his office—inside the Denver Coliseum was a study in contrasts: the world outside was a cacophony of echoing footsteps, distant cheers, and the metallic clatter of preparation, while within these four walls, the air was thick with tension and the scent of old leather and fresh coffee.Melissa perched on the edge of the visitor’s chair, her notepad balanced on her knee, pen poised but unmoving. She watched Jeremy with the kind of concern that only comes from months of shared late nights and early mornings. Across from her, sprawled in the battered armchair, was Luke Elliot, owner of the Omaha Cattlemen and Jeremy’s oldest friend in the league. Luke’s boots were crossed at the ankle, his hat tipped back, a wry smile playing at his lips as he watched Jeremy wrestle with the decision.Jeremy exhaled, the sound heavy in the quiet.“So, here’s where we are,” he said,

  • Blindside Beauty    The Press Conference

    Jeremy Davis stood at the podium, the glare of television lights painting his suit in harsh relief. The press conference room inside the Denver Coliseum was packed—sportswriters, TV crews, bloggers, and a sea of Colorado Cannibals fans pressed against the back wall. The air buzzed with anticipation, the kind that comes before a storm, and Jeremy could feel every eye fixed on him.He gripped the edge of the podium, steadying himself. “Thank you all for coming,” he began, his voice resonant and calm. “I want to thank everyone at the Wild West Indoor Football League, the Colorado sports fans, and the media for your support and dedication to this team. Today marks an exciting new chapter for the Colorado Cannibals.”A ripple of camera clicks and shifting bodies swept through the room.Jeremy continued, “As many of you know, Terrell Hillis has accepted a position as the running backs coach for the Denver Mustangs in the NAFL. I want to wish Terrell the best in this new opportunity. He’s mo

  • Blindside Beauty    Ice, Fire, and Unfinished Business

    Monday night settled over the Front Range, the Denver skyline twinkling in the distance as Jeremy Davis sat alone in his office at the Coliseum. The echo of practice still lingered in his bones, his arm throbbing with a dull ache that felt both familiar and foreign. Somehow, word had gotten out-maybe a trainer, maybe a player with a loose tongue, maybe just the way news always seemed to find its way to the surface when you least wanted it to.Jeremy Davis was unretiring. The Cannibals’ owner and general manager was going to suit up and play quarterback.Now, ESPN, Fox Sports, local news, and every other sports outlet in the region wanted a piece of him. His phone had been buzzing all evening, interview requests stacking up like blitzing linebackers. He didn’t want to be a distraction, didn’t want the circus to swallow the team whole, so he’d scheduled every interview for after Saturday’s game. He made sure the networks knew: this wasn’t just about him. They’d get to talk to the whole

  • Blindside Beauty    Second Chances?

    The Monday morning sun glinted off the glass facade of the Denver Coliseum, but Jeremy Davis barely noticed as he strode through the side entrance, phone pressed tight to his ear. He’d barely slept, his mind a storm of doubt, hope, and fear. The league’s decision would come today. Would he be allowed to play? Or would his last shot at redemption slip away before it even began?He checked his phone for the hundredth time. No call yet from Commissioner Helton. He tried to focus on the Cannibals-on the team, on Trisha, on the promise he’d made to her-but his thoughts kept drifting to Alexandra.He hadn’t seen her since the hospital, but her words from their last real conversation echoed in his mind: If you want to get back to the NAFL, you have to fight for it. For yourself. For us.He wondered if “us” meant what it used to.A League DecisionIn his office, Jeremy paced, waiting for the call. When his phone finally rang, he answered on the first ring. “Jeremy Davis.”“Jeremy, it’s Larry

  • Blindside Beauty    The Owner's Table

    Sunday night settled over the Wild West Indoor Football League with a tension that was almost physical. In homes and offices across the Midwest, team owners and executives logged into a hastily arranged video conference, their faces flickering into view in a checkerboard of anticipation, rivalry, and curiosity. At the center of it all, in a quiet home office lined with league memorabilia, Commissioner Larry Helton adjusted his tie and prepared to referee what promised to be a stormy debate.Jeremy Davis was not on the call. He’d made his request official that afternoon, citing the Cannibals’ extenuating circumstances after Trisha Steinmetz’s devastating injury. The league’s bylaws were clear: an owner could only play for their team if two-thirds of the league’s owners approved, and only in “extraordinary situations.” It was up to the rest of the league to decide if this was one of those moments.Larry’s screen filled with familiar names and faces: Chad Ross of the Wyoming Cavaliers, F

  • Blindside Beauty    The Gambit

    Sunday afternoon sunlight spilled in golden patches through the hospital’s windows as Jeremy Davis made his way down the corridor, the familiar, antiseptic scent a jarring reminder of the night before. His phone buzzed in his pocket-another message from Jenifer, another update from the Cannibals’ staff-but he ignored it for now. There was only one thing on his mind: Trisha Steinmetz.Her text had come early that morning, brief but direct:“Jeremy, if you have time, I’d like to see you today. Room 427.”He’d barely slept, replaying every snap, every decision, every what-if from the previous game on top of when he does sleep, he has a nightmare of his own injuries. The Cannibals’ opener had been a triumph and a tragedy-an electric blowout soured by Trisha’s collapse and the news that followed. Now, as he reached her door, Jeremy steeled himself for the conversation he both dreaded and needed.He knocked gently and pushed open the door. Trisha was propped up in bed, her leg in a brace, h

  • Blindside Beauty    The Push

    The Saturday afternoon sun slanted through the windows of Jenifer Walter’s office, painting long golden stripes across the floor. The air in the Denver Coliseum was thick with the aftershock of bad news, but Jenifer had no time to wallow. She needed her leaders, and she needed a plan. She fired off a quick group text to the Cannibals’ captains and to Sterling “Lockjaw” Blaze: Jenifer: “Meet in my office at 4. Update on Trisha. Need your help. -JW” The hours crawled by. Jenifer paced, reviewing quarterback lists and scribbled play diagrams, but nothing felt right. She kept replaying her conversation with Jeremy that morning, his stubborn refusal, the haunted look in his eyes. She needed her team’s buy-in. She needed to rally the people who could move mountains-or at least, move Jeremy Davis. At exactly four o’clock, there was a knock at her door. Alexandra Jordan, Heather Wammack, Morty Sample, and Lockjaw Blaze filed in, each looking tense and expectant. Jenifer gestured for them

  • Blindside Beauty    Whiskey and Reckoning

    The morning after the Cannibals’ thunderous victory over the Wyoming Cavaliers, Denver was still buzzing. Headlines blared about the 113-0 blowout, the record crowd, and the Cannibals’ “unstoppable experiment.” But inside the city’s heart, in the quiet corridors of the Denver Coliseum, the mood was somber.Jeremy Davis had spent the night at the hospital. He’d watched the sun crawl up over the Rockies through a window in the waiting room, the taste of stale coffee and worry thick on his tongue. When the diagnosis came, it was worse than anyone had feared.He thumbed out a text to Jenifer Walter as he left the hospital, his hands shaking with exhaustion and anger.Jeremy: “Meet me in my office. It’s bad news about Trisha. I’ll tell you more when I get back.”He drove through the waking city, the streets still empty, his mind racing. The Cannibals had built something beautiful, something bold. Now, in a single, brutal play, it all threatened to unravel.A Bitter MorningJeremy’s office

  • Blindside Beauty    Opening the Gates

    The Denver Coliseum was alive like never before. It was the 2004 Wild West Indoor Football (WWIF) season opener, and the Colorado Cannibals were hosting the Wyoming Cavaliers after winning last year’s OK Corral Championship against the Omaha Cattlemen. Every seat in the Coliseum was filled, fans packed shoulder-to-shoulder, their voices rising in a thunderous, electric roar that rattled the rafters and sent a charge through the city. The Cannibals, defending champions, were back-and Denver was ready to see if their bold experiment could deliver a second crown.Banners from last season’s triumph hung from the upper deck, and the field gleamed under the lights, painted with the Cannibals’ fierce logo at midfield. The air was thick with anticipation and the scent of popcorn, sweat, and hope.In the tunnel, the Cannibals players bounced on their toes, helmets in hand, eyes blazing. Alexandra Jordan stood with Heather Wammack and Alicia Gresham, their faces set with determination. Trisha S

  • Blindside Beauty    The Cannibals Unleashed

    The Denver Coliseum was alive with a new energy. The rest of the Colorado Cannibals’ training camp was nothing short of electric. From the moment the sun crested the Rockies to the last echo of cleats on turf, something had shifted in the air. The players moved with a kind of reckless joy, as if they’d all been set on fire and dared each other to burn brighter. Alexandra Jordan, Heather Wammack, and Alicia Gresham were at the heart of it all. Their intensity was contagious-every drill, every rep, every snap was sharper, faster, more focused. They played like they had something to prove, not just to the league or the skeptics, but to themselves and each other. Jenifer Walter, ever the keen observer, watched from the sidelines, arms crossed and a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She didn’t know what had gotten into them, but whatever it was, she wasn’t about to question it. If this was what it took to make her team special, she’d take it. On the field, Trisha Steinmetz was a

    The fluorescent lights in the Denver Coliseum women’s locker room flickered softly as Alexandra, Heather, and Alicia finished changing after the first day of Cannibals training camp. The room, once a VIP suite, now gleamed with fresh paint, sturdy benches, and the unmistakable buzz of a team on the verge of something historic. But tonight, the air was thick with something else-shock, excitement, and the lingering aftertaste of Alicia’s bombshell announcement.Alicia, still glowing from her engagement revelation, zipped up her duffel bag. Heather, towel slung over her shoulder, stared at her in disbelief, then turned to Alexandra with a look that said, Can you believe this?Heather finally broke the silence, her voice rising in mock outrage. “You know what this means, right? We have to go celebrate! Alicia is getting married!”Alexandra and Heather both let out a cheer, the tension instantly melting into laughter. Alexandra grinned and nudged Alicia playfully. “So, you’re marrying a gr
