(S46) PT #2 - The Butterfly Effect

[Asked Madden]

Fuck, I've just had to write something similar in the wiki task so here I go re-writing it for this one. As Mooty Poop-Eater was abandoned in Scotland by his family he could very easily have gone a different route other than CB. At a young age his athletics profile had him playing wing in the local rugby team, whilst he was very fast, he didn't have the stamina to run on the pitch for 80 minutes a game. There was something in his blood that stopped him doing it. He also felt like there should've been more breaks to allow him to be force fed adverts for toys he didn't have or blue pills he found in his foster parents bathroom.
There was a juncture in his young career - learn to get fitter and shirk those innner urges and needs for breaks, or set up a football team in Dumfries and follow his ancestry

Written option: Every player's career is made up of a number of turning points. What would have happened if you had gone down a different path instead – like choosing a different school, playing a different position, or being drafted by a different team? Describe the moment in question and how your career would be different from how it is now!

When I initially made my character I wasn't certain on which position I intended to play. I wanted to play defense, but I figured that playing offense within the league would be significantly more "fun" given you'd be able to put up big numbers in the box score. Initially I thought about playing WR, designing my character as a small/slot WR and really embracing the idea of being a "role player". I'm not sure what changed my mind, but upon further consideration I went with cornerback. CB is obviously a valuable position mechanically, but the real reason I chose the position came from following the same logic that had me leaning WR. Of course it's fun to play offense, so what's more fun than that - shutting down opposing WRs. Erasing them from the box score. Clamping them up. Wearing them like a seatbelt. Putting them behind bars. I could go on all day. I realized that I genuinely cherish the idea of erasing my opponents. Flying them out to a beautiful tropical island and leaving them stranded, forcing them to create a "SOS" sign out of driftwood and bones. I no longer cared about scoring "tuddies" or juking defenders out of their socks, rather I wanted to prevent the enemy from having *any fun*. I mean really make them suffer. Evil stuff. Someone has to be the bad guy, build some narratives - and I want that to be me.

What would have happened if Bread Bowl didn't dedicate his career to saving the TE position? Well, let me start by telling you how much Bread Bowl cannot wait to retire. He misses his farm and hates the TE position. However, if he was to go back in time and switch positions, he would go back and play either LB or WR, the two positions he played as a child on his high school football team. He was an elite WR, racking up thousands of yards and nearly a hundred touchdowns in his three years starting on the varsity team. He wasn't as good as a LB in his earlier times, but his senior year he had an elite playtime in which he became feared by any team that played against him. He feels that he could have achieved well as a LB, but maybe not as much as he achieved as a WR. Truth be told, any position is better then playing TE.

Well for Khali he started out as a Basketball player playing alot of center given his size on his last season he made a switch too defensive but the league would sadly fold into his first season he needed too figure something out he than decided he will give it a shot at the game of football he started working out and practicing and than was drafted too the DFSL Dallas Birddogs where he started on his tenure of being an Offensive lineman and getting drafted by an ISFL team sortly after with the Austin Copperheads he went up insantly and is in his sixth season with the Copperheads he has been named too the pro-bowl on 3 out of 5 occasions and just recently the Copperheads won IFSL gold crowning him with a championship. I think if Khali would of picked a different position stuff would of not played out way it has for him and he may of not been as elite as he has in different position lucky for Khali he has exceld at the position of Offensive lineman

Choosing Gratz College over Yeshiva University and Spelman College was a pivotal moment for me. Each offer had its quirks. Gratz offered a scholarship package that included unlimited kosher snacks in the locker room. Yeshiva promised a unique blend of Torah study and football training. And then there was Spelman, who, in a bold move, offered to rename their team the 'Fighting Schvitzers' in my honor.

Ultimately, choosing Gratz College set me on the path I'm on now. It wasn't just about the perks; it was about the sense of community and belonging I felt there. The decision shaped my college experience and laid the foundation for my career in football.

If I had gone down a different road, who knows where I'd be? Maybe I'd be dominating on a different team or playing a different position altogether. But I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I'm grateful for the opportunities that have led me to where I am today.
