Tier 2
Task 8 -
Examining the team is something that I have always done, even when I wasn’t a General Manager so asking me to do so for the Chicago Butchers right now is super easy for me. First of all, in my opinion, we have two very weak areas, which I will gladly address right now in this paragraph. The first and foremost issue that the Chicago Butchers have faced this season, is age. The Chicago Butchers, no doubt in my mind, is easily the youngest team in the league right now. We have three players under Season 21, and outside of that, the rest of the team is made up of Season 21, 22, and 23 players. Those three that are our old heads are Sean O’Leary, Mike Hockhertz and Stevie Vassallo. Two of which are season 19 in Vassallo and O’Leary, and one of which is 18 which is Hockhertz. So inexperience for our players in the big leagues has been a huge downfall, so to speak, in the ISFL this season. Our team is just packed with so many young players that it makes complete sense why we haven’t really been able to compete. Our second biggest issue on the team is the lack of talent on the Defensive Line. I will say, Our team has actives at literally every position, but defensive line. Our Defensive Line consists of John Smirh (myself), Mario VonPebbles, and Simeon Works. Outside of that, we do not have a second Defensive Tackle, which means we have to play Vassallo at Defensive Tackle. That hasn’t been the worst thing in the world, but in all honestly, with the strength and weight difference, we really need an actual Defensive Tackle to fill that hole. In my eyes, those are the two biggest issues that we have faced in Chicago this year, and those are some great issues that we can easily fix coming up. We continue to get everyone on the same page and get them updating and working through whatever issues that they might have, and we add a defensive tackle and we have the ability to compete with the best of them. We really need to hit on a couple of Free Agents that myself and Bayley have talked about getting, and watching every other team regress and lose some players to retire this season, I think Chicago will be in great shape to start competing this next season.

Task 11 -
Ugh, the issue with drama in this league, is I swear to god every time I think there will be none, something ends up popping off and I somehow, someway get involved in it, whether it would be investigating some shit, or defending some shit and being totally incorrect about the whole situation. There are two huge moments of scandals that I remember very vividly, and that drives me insane. The first, huge, controversy that I will discuss today will be the TPE scandal of Season 2. I was, and to this day, am still very close friends with Er and we were talking one night, figuring out just a bunch of TPE opportunities and other shit like that, when we brought up how the hell Noble was able to keep on top of all of the TPE tasks while being so “Busy” with his real life. He would literally complain daily about how busy he is, all the time, and Er was PT head at the moment so he had all the stuff on his computer. He sent me the link, and I clicked on it, and noticed… Noble had been claiming the PTs, but had been doing them after the time they were due. How the hell could someone be cheating so easily in front of us. So, we did some investigating. Er started at one end of the season, and I started at the other, we compared his PT list, to when the PTs were completed, and had found out that Noble had either A. Posted his PTs after they were due, by editing the post, or B. had not even completed them and yet still gave himself credit for the PT. I remember writing up a long message to, if I remember correctly, Ballerstorm, and explained the whole situation and what Er and myself had found. It was passed along to Head Office and the punishment came down swiftly. After the fact, the Noble copy pasta came out, where he talked about being a 15 year old boy yada yada yada I’m important in Canada some shit like that. This alone almost drove me to leave the league and not deal with all the shit that was going on, because if someone with such power, someone who the league trusted, was so easily and readily able to cheat, how could I continue to trust the league in keeping the interest of the people at the top of their hearts.
