Interviewer: Good afternoon, Reginald. Thanks for taking the time to speak with us. You've taken over as the lead running back for the Orange County Otters this season. How has the transition been for you?
Reginald Hammerfall: Oh yeah, it's been a wild ride taking over as RB1. It's been both an honour and a challenge. I knew stepping into Shrubbery's shoes would be big, but I've been ready for this moment. Every yard I gain, every touchdown I score, it’s all about proving that I belong here, leading this team.
Interviewer: You've rushed for 635 yards on 148 attempts and scored 8 rushing touchdowns this season, plus you've added 354 receiving yards and another touchdown through the air. How do you feel about your personal performance?
Reginald Hammerfall: I’m bringing the thunder, no doubt about it. Those numbers show the hard work I’ve put in and my commitment to this team. But I'm a perfectionist, man. I always believe I can do more, push harder, and take my game to the next level. It’s about elevating my play, being that unstoppable force on the field and becoming a legend.
Interviewer: You mentioned your commitment to the team. How has the dynamic been with the rookie, Animal Blundetto, especially with him vulturing some of your touchdowns?
Reginald Hammerfall: Look, Animal’s got some skills, and I respect that. But it’s frustrating when I see those red-zone opportunities slip away. I’m a competitor, I want those touchdowns. It's all about finding that balance and making sure we maximise our potential. I know he’s got to grow too, but those scores are what I live for, man.
Interviewer: The Otters have had a tough season with a 5-8 record after releasing several big names in the pre-season. What’s been the impact of those changes on the team?
Reginald Hammerfall: It’s been rough, no doubt. Losing key players shakes things up especially when we felt we were so close to competing for the Ultiminus and establishing a dynasty. Our window was well and truly open, you know? I dunno what goes on behind close doors. It is what it is. But right now, we've had to rebuild our chemistry. I believe in the heart of this team. We're resilient. We’ve got to dig deep, keep pushing, and stay united. This season’s been a test of our character, and I’m ready to be the guy that gets us back to where we should be as a franchise. I mean, we haven't really competed in years. We don't want to known as a has-been franchise, y'know?
Interviewer: You've always been known for your intense focus and competitive nature. How do you keep yourself motivated during tough times?
Reginald Hammerfall: It’s all about the bigger picture. I remind myself why I’m here and what I want to achieve. Every setback is just a setup for a comeback. I watch game tapes, hit the gym harder, and make sure I’m always improving. Plus, I’ve got a great support system with my family and teammates who keep me grounded and motivated.
Interviewer: With the season winding down, what are your expectations for the rest of the year and beyond?
Reginald Hammerfall: I’m always looking to finish strong. Every game is an opportunity to prove ourselves, to show that the Otters are a force to be reckoned with. Looking ahead, I expect us to come back next season even stronger. I’m talking playoffs, I’m talking championships. We’ve got the foundation, now it’s time to build the empire.
Interviewer: Reginald, thank you for your time. Your passion and determination are evident. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
Reginald Hammerfall: Thank you, brother. The Hammer’s just getting started. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come!

Interviewer: The London Royals own a 9-1 record, to what do you attribute the success?
Juan Carrasco: Team leadership from the coaches to the GMs deserve a lot of the credit, along with a strong core of returning players. But I think the majority of the credit needs to go to the new players who have played great thus far. Dexter Morgan has been amazing at QB, Kim Yeon-Seok at CB, Hot Dam beside me in the trenches, all of our new receivers. We knew we had a chance to be good, but we’ve been able to be great because the new players delivered.
Interviewer: You gained a lot of notoriety in the offseason for your inability to sack a traffic cop, how did it feel getting your first DSFL sack this season?
Juan Carrasco: That moment with the traffic cop was a real low point for me. I’m glad I had the chance to reflect on my shortcomings and move past them this year. And I’ve seen the results on the football field. Getting that first sack was a blessing, but being able to continue stacking them up is my focus now. The job’s not done this season, I want to bring an ultimini home to the London fans who have been so supportive.

Interviewer: Good afternoon Josh, and thanks for sitting down for a quick interview.
Josh Patterson: Happy to be here Nigel, how's the family?
Interviewer: Good, Good, thanks for asking, you had a big year last season, winning the MVP in the ISFL but ultimately falling short of winning the Ultimus, how are we feeling right now with only 3 weeks left on the season?
Josh Patterson: Great question, first off, last season was something special, I will always remember the hard work all my teammates put in throughout the season, and I fully credit them with winning that MVP. I just go out there and throw a ball, takes my amazing receivers to catch it, Keanu and Orange are great teammates and I really couldn't have done it without them. It was disappointing to not win the whole league and lift the Ultimus last season, but it's just more motivation to keep working and bring it home this year. I have to run, but appreciate the questions Nigel. Have a great rest of your day!

The ups and downs of the ISFL season is on full display to the public but it’s important to remember that those dots have lives outside of what we see on the gridiron. For a small peak into the lives of an ISFL player, I have reached out the Baltimore’s Carter Goad who has agreed to sit down for an interview.
So Carter, what does your life look like outside the ISFL?
Goad: I like to think that I live a fairly normal life just like most people. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family and like to spend time with the wife and kids as often as football allows me to. The off-season in particular is something that I look forward to. Getting to spend an extended period of time at home sure does wonders for relaxation and time away from the season grind.
So where do you call home?
Goad: The family has put down roots in Northwest Indiana about an hour or so from Chicago. It’s a great place to be as you are close enough for all the amenities of a large city but also have the space and nature of more rural areas. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore around Lake Michigan is definitely one of my favorite spots.
Do you have any particular hobbies that you work on outside of football?
Goad: Yeah a few. In the summer, I love to find time to play ultimate frisbee. It’s one of those sports that anyone can play and it’s a good way to stay fit. I also enjoy mathematics and number puzzles. After I retire from the ISFL, I’ll probably pursue a career in teaching mathematics. It’s one of my passions.
Thank you for answering our questions Carter and I wish you the best of luck for the rest of the season!
