29) Some positions are still under appreciated. Talk about the offensive linemen and/or special teamers on your squad. Show how they have contributed to the team, both on and off the field, and why they deserve recognition.
In my opinion. The most underrated position in all of sports goes to the Punter position. They can flip the field even when all hope seems lost. A great punter is a defenses best friend! I've decided to show some appreciation to the player who seems to be the best punter in the ISFL right now. Dougie Smalls was called on an awful lot this past season, but he made the most of his opportunities. Off of 113 punts, he was able to pin opposing teams inside the twenty a total of 23 times, good enough for second-most in the league. On top of that, he averaged the second-most yards per punt, which of course mixed with his large amount of punts gives him the lead for most punting yards on the year. Sure some of this is due to the fact the offense wasn't where it needed to be ability-wise. However, a punter can only do so much when it comes to getting chances to kick. Smalls made sure to take advantage of every shot. With that being said I hope the Silverbacks figure out their offense because this poor guy is going to be in a wheelchair in his forties if it keeps going this way. If that's the case they better pay this man!

26) Present your argument for the playoffs MVP. Show their stats and impact on the games that they played.
I will be focusing on the DSFL playoffs for the Ultimini Championship. I think it was close between two players, both of which from the Luchadores. Quarterback Mike Boss Jr. and, rookie WR Quavious McGrady. For me, McGrady's impact in each game slightly exceded that of Boss. McGrady walked away with a total of 15 grabs 195 yards, and 3 Touchdowns! That's just in two games, and no other receiver was even close to him on his squad. I believe without him Boss may have had a bit more trouble putting away the Buccaneers and Royals. For a rookie to put up performances like that is something that can't be understated. In each game, he showed grit and determination, and that showed in the close matchup with the Buccs where he was awarded Offensive Player of the Game. He was targeted early and, he was targeted often, and he showed he could not only succeed but thrive under pressure. I think McGrady has a lot more to show not only in the DSFL but the ISFL. He performed in the playoffs must have sparked the attention of some of the scouts and GMs up in the ISFL, that I'm certain. If he can continue to produce as he has, he should have quite a career.

15) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S25 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
I'm very new to the league. I originally heard about it about 4 days ago, spent a few days reading and learning a little bit, then I made my player. I haven't had the chance to do all that much yet, but im excited to possibilities. I think what seems really cool is how everyone takes this at least partially seriously. It's not like if a team wins everyone just pretends they didn't care cause its all fake. It feels almost real. Similar to DnD but with sports, and I never thought I'd find something that combined two things that I love like that. In my head Roleplaying and Sports would be nearly impossible to combine, but it looks like its been pulled off very well here. I also enjoy how much depth there seems to be. Real drafts, GMs having to make decisions, players having to improve, or possibly leave a team that maybe isn't improving to their liking.
It gives us the power to make decisions that will actually have effects, whether negative or positive. Things that we are responsible for, and with those decisions we can succeed in this league, or flame out. Unlike DnD there aren't any real safety nets here. If you leave a team, and end up on a squad thats worse, the "DM" cant just make it better for you, or try to improve the "game". You made a poor decision and, now you have to deal with it as best as you can. Maybe you demand another trade? But, now people see you as whiney more than likely, or a drama queen. This is something you just can't get from Madden, or Elder Scrolls, or anything even slightly similar. Your decisions have real weight, and they affect real people, and not just in a fantasy sense. A few bad decisons can ruin months, maybe even years worth or work.
You also have the chance to succeed and, truly become someone who has left a mark in the league. Whether that be as a really good player, or something even more stressful (yet also rewarding), like building and maintaining a dynasty full of real people that you need to keep tabs on. I guess what I really like about this whole thing is that, even though its fake, we aren't real football players, or GMs. The stakes are real, winning and losing feel real, and the realationships you build, whether good or bad are all real.
