This week is the last week of the regular season of the 30th season of the ISFL. Wooooooo! This week, tell us what you think the meaning of success in this league is? Is it winning championships? Winning awards? Destroying that one team that you hate? Or just having fun with your team? There are so many ways to define success, what would you define it as.
For me I believe that the meaning of success in this league is entirely subjective. For some people I know, success means winning the championship and competing year in and year out. For others, it's more about the personal accolades that someone can accomplish, things like winning positional player of the year, rookie of the year, Defensive player or offensive player of the year, as well as MVP. Those are fantastic reasons to keep coming back year in and year out, and as much as I would love to win the Ultimus every season, or have my shot at defensive player of the year, it's all about the locker room to me. I want to be able to have fun with a bunch of cool dudes and watch my little dots play some football, sometimes terribly. We haven't been incredibly successful in my tenure in Philadelphia, but I wouldn't change teams to anyone else. I'd rather get last place with a bunch of friends than switch to competitors every season in order to always have a shot. Philly picked me and that loyalty runs deep, not to mention that I feel like the general managers in Pat and Cody are by far the best in the league. We may not be competitive, but we know how to have fun and to me that is what makes the team and my player successful.
