After being awarded an expansion team after the league's inaugural season, Las Vegas GM [[User:RavensFanFromOntario|RFFO]] saw an opportunity to be a playoff competitor immediately. He dealt most of the team's draft picks and pursued free agents aggressively, highlighted by signing quarterback [[Josh Bercovici]] to a 5-year, $33 million contract. This bold strategy backfired quickly and the franchise has been bad ever since. A few weeks before the [[2019 NSFL Draft]] the GM notified the [[NSFL Head Office|head office]] that he would be stepping down effective immediately, tapping his co-GM [[user:Ben|Ben]] to replace him, which the league agreed to.

However, as the head office found during their deliberations, this wasn't as bad as it appeared initially. Only one of the retiring players had updated regularly that season and by waiting to post the topic after the offseason began, this gave Las Vegas a bunch of expiring contract that they could trade for assets to build the team. A few days after the topic the head office announced the [[user:cosbornballboy|cosbornballboy]] would take over as GM of the team. In one of his first acts as GM he traded for a quarterback without consulting the team's current quarterback, Wallace Stone, about a position change which caused a falling-out between the two. After a couple days of similar mis-steps that grew from that initial mistake, Cosborn stepped down as GM and was replaced by [[user:bovovovo|Bovo]].

In the first season as Second Line, they achieved the 2-11-1 record, with both wins coming against winless in the {{nsfly|6}} [[Colorado Yeti]] team.

The New Orleans Second Line is a professional American football franchise based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Second Line currently compete in the National Simulation Football League (NSFL) as a member club of the league's American Simulation Football Conference (ASFC) which currently only has one division. The franchise was established in 2017 (S2) in the league's first expansion as the Las Vegas Legion before relocating for 2021 (S6).

New Orleans has not been very competitive during its franchise's tenure, still seeking its first winning season. The franchise peaked in 2022 (S7) with a record of 4-10. After a mass retirement scandal led to the team's relocation and a change in management, New Orleans has acquired some exciting young talent and looks to begin a new chapter in their history while expanding their reputation as the league's "meme team".

History of the New Orleans Second Line

After being awarded an expansion team after the league's inaugural season, Las Vegas GM RFFO saw an opportunity to be a playoff competitor immediately. He dealt most of the team's draft picks and pursued free agents aggressively, highlighted by signing quarterback Josh Bercovici to a 5-year, $33 million contract. This bold strategy backfired quickly and the franchise has been bad ever since. A few weeks before the 2019 NSFL Draft the GM notified the head office that he would be stepping down effective immediately, tapping his co-GM Ben to replace him, which the league agreed to. Ben hired Keygan as his co-GM just in time for the 2019 Offseason to begin.

The new duo dedicated the team to build through the draft but unfortunately, the timing could not have been any worse. With the establishment of the Developmental Simulation Football League for new prospects, the 2019 draft was the smallest and worst in league history. The Legion went into the draft with 5 of the 8 first round picks, the first 5 picks in the franchise's history and just the second time the franchise would pick in the top 40. In particular, Ben and Keygan targeted well-known and reliable-earning players from the SHL to create a cohesive, active locker room and discord. The actually worked out pretty well. Even though the NSFL was, at best, second priority for most of the team the discord was very active and Keygan spent the entire season pointing out how Las Vegas had more users online in the main NSFL discord than any other team.[2] After that season, though, a culmination of events led to many of those SHL users getting fed up with the league which eventually led to Keygan posting a retirement thread for 7 players on the team, including himself.[3] Only 6 of those players actually retired - Wallace Stone did not intend on retiring[4] - but 2 other players posted separate topics. This mass retirement sent shockwaves through the league and the head office scrambled to deal with the fallout since Ben, the head GM, was on vacation in Europe at the time and while aware of the developments, in general, he was in no position to take action.

However, as the head office found during their deliberations, this wasn't as bad as it appeared initially. Only one of the retiring players had updated regularly that season and by waiting to post the topic after the offseason began, this gave Las Vegas a bunch of expiring contract that they could trade for assets to build the team. A few days after the topic the head office announced the cosbornballboy would take over as GM of the team. In one of his first acts as GM, he traded for a quarterback without consulting the team's current quarterback, Wallace Stone, about a position change which caused a falling-out between the two. After a couple days of similar missteps that grew from that initial mistake, Cosborn stepped down as GM and was replaced by Bovo.

Bovo oversaw the selling-off of the assets that hadn't yet been traded and soon hired tbone as his co-GM. The team headed into the 2020 NSFL Draft with a decent amount of mid-round picks to start the rebuild anew. To complete the fresh start they desired for the team they also began exploring relocation options and the following offseason the team, after much consulting with the team, announced it would become the New Orleans Second Line starting in 2021 (S6). Like Ben and Keygan, Bovo and tbone put an emphasis on building through the draft and strove to have the best scouting in the league by targeting DSFL GMs. As a testament to this strategy the franchise has seen its players win 3 consecutive rookies of the year. In last year as Las Vegas Legion, they won one game, against San Jose SaberCats in Week 7 with a score of 37-19.

The single most important event in franchise turnaround was the 2021 NSFL Draft, where General Managers were able to draft three franchise calibre players: Brian Mills with 1st Overall Pick, Jaylon Broxton with 5th Overall Pick (via Outlaws, acquired in the trade for Wyatt Fulton and Andreas Waiters[5]) and their Quarterback ever since Borkus Maximus III. In the first season as Second Line, they achieved the 2-11-1 record, with both wins coming against winless in the 2021 (S6) Colorado Yeti team. With the team still far away from contention the priority was set on developing young players and acquiring further assets using the vast cap space team head.

Ahead of the 2022 NSFL Draft mentality changed and GM Bovo decided to start trading for established players - starting with Julian O'Sullivan [6]. Due to overall lack of quality picks (they sent away their 1st rounder in O'Sullivan trade) and shallowness of the talent pool of the draft New Orleans didn't gain any memorable players in the 2022 (S7) draft. Team visibly improved to a 4-10, but still was placed last in the very competitive ASFC.

2023 (S8) marked possibly single biggest positive franchise turnarounds in NSFL history. To make it possible two big deals were made before the season start. First they traded for established star linebacker Vincent Sharpei[7] to create most dangerous defensive trio alongside drafted in 2021 (S6) Brian Mills and acquired a season before Julian O'Sullivan. Just before 2022 NSFL Draft, their young star demanded trade to the Orange County Otters that resulted in a defensive backs swap of Jaylen Broxton and Vladimir Fyodorovich[8]. In the draft with the second overall pick, Second Line Management was able to solidify their secondary picking Safety William Harrison. This year for the first time franchise in franchise history team was able to qualify for the playoffs and played in the ASFC Championship Game winning against Orange County Otters 20-17 on 46 yard field goal by Peg Leg with 0:10 remaining on the clock. Next, they travelled to the Ultimus Bowl VIII game to the Yellownife, where they lost 24-13 to the Wraiths.

With team clearly being ready to contend further moves were made to strengthen both secondary - trade for franchise Cornerback Benson Bayley[9] - and offensive firepower acquiring multiple NSFL Tight End of the Year award winner Paul Di Mirio[10]. These acquisitions combined with the internal growth was enough to secure best record, 12-2, in the league. In the playoffs they defeated Otter County Otters 39-21 and Baltimore Hawks 37-24 en-route to their first Ultimus title in the 2024 (S9).

Rivalries

As a franchise that has spent its entire existence dwelling at the bottom of the standings, strong rivalries haven't had the opportunity to develop. However, as the Legion, the franchise had something of a rivalry with fellow expansion team the Philadelphia Liberty. In recent years, any time a Second Line player begins acting up in the discord they're threatened with being traded to the other perennial cellar-dweller, the Colorado Yeti.
