TIER 2
Question 9- 410 Words
I came here from the Pro Baseball Experience. I know a few people over there who have a lot of experience here and they genuinely love it. Now, I'm not very well-versed in football by any means. I don't watch the games and I couldn't tell you who the first string cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars is (then again, who does) to save my life. I came here looking for something else to do while PBE was chillaxing in the offseason and here I am today! I joined in November, knocked out all of my rookie tasks, and chatted with some (two) DSFL General Managers. One of them was Mag, the former London Royals GM. We had a good talk and I was excited to potentially go over there. Then I talked with South, the Pythons GM, and we hit it off. Eventually, he brought me on and I switched from a Wide Receiver to a Running Back (which was HELL. Position swaps are HELL.) That's how I got here. But obviously, that's not the question. The question is... what keeps me interested in this league?
Well, that would not be the livestreams. Despite them being like 20 minutes long, I have better things to do (Just kidding, I don't, I just don't watch the streams lmap). But in all honesty, what keeps me invested in this league is SouthPaw. My top sim league priority is the Pro Baseball Experience. Baseball is a sport I know, love, and find comfort in. I'm definitely starting to feel that way about football as well, but for the majority of the season I was a semi-active. I'd come in, do my PTs and activities, update every week, and then ghost my Locker Room. Honestly, the only reason I kept doing these updates was SouthPaw. He constantly reminds me (and all the other Sneks) to update constantly. I always do it because I am a man of the people, but I digress. South has genuinely kept me in this league and has prevented me from going IA. I'm a member of the Pythons War Room now, and that's pretty much all because South has kept me invested in the ISFL. Now, I'm working on becoming a more active presence here and (despite me never talking in main and the draft being over I think) trying to make Gio Bianchi the best running back in the league. I tend to aim high with sim leagues.
Question 12- 429 Words
Ah yes, expansion. When leagues grow and player bases spike, It is only natural for the league to create new teams to accommodate these new players. Now the expansion franchise I'd like to see is one that specializes in having a kickass locker room where it's not necessarily all about winning, but about having a good time. Obviously, this seems like a dumb thing to say. But I, personally, would rather be on a team that goes winless that always has their spirits high than a team that goes undefeated but has a ghost town of a locker room and a toxic environment. That's why I love the Portland locker room- we win, yes, but it's also a very relaxed and fun environment to be in. Ultimately, I want to see a team that lives by the motto of "Football is good, but fun is better," or something like that. I don't know, I'm pretty shitty with catchphrases. Names, on the other hand? Now that's where I shine.
I'll mostly be focusing on the name of my new ideal expansion team because I don't know jack shit about any of the GMs in this league other than South. I am a semi-active, as mentioned before. Also as mentioned before, I'm looking to change that. Maybe I could start with knowing all of the GMs, I don't know. Anyways, naming.
I love naming things. Whether it's my computer (whose name is Dave), my dogs (shoutout Tess and Fiji), or my Kevin Harvick Cardboard Cutout (whose name is Kevin), I love to name things. So uh, here's my name for a potential new Sim Football franchise...
The Connecticut Colonials!
Look. Connecticut is not a place populated with Pro sports. The only professional sports team that we had at the top level was the Hartford Whalers, who played in a mall and ditched to North Carolina in the 90's. See? not the best place to have a team. But this is Sim Football Land, where anything is possible. So fuck it, CT Colonials it is.
Now, why the Colonials? Why the alliteration? Well, golly gee, I'll tell ya, sport! The naming was actually pretty easy. Connecticut was one of the original thirteen colonies that helped birth the great nation of America. And by great, I mean "in shambles, ruined, and probably gonna get nuked sometime in the next decade." But I digress. Colonials is a great name because, well, it pays homage to CT being old as hell and being a founding part of our country.
Ok that's it, gib TPE pls.
