10. Through a random lottery drawing, you have been named the league's new commissioner for a day. Congrats! What improvements would you make to the league if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?
Let's put the International in Internations Simulation Football League and either start to relocate some teams or add some new ones to bring some flair into it.
At the moment the breakdown of United States team to Non-US teams is 11-3, and Yellowknife Wraiths are still on the American Continent. So to spread some love I think moves should be as follows:
Colorado Yetis -> Himalayan Yetis
Forcibly move the Colorado Yetis over to the Himalayas (Shoutout to @"dylparl"), and I would let the team vote on the country. This list on Wikipedia has the available countries as Butan, China, Indai, Nepal, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Players choice for that one.
Orange County Otters -> Osaka Otters
Apparently there are Otters in Japan, and mythology surrounding them. They can either be playful little scamps like the kitsune and tanuki, or disguise themselves as women to lure men into a moat and eat them. So I think that can be fun/terrifying enough to warrant a relocation there. Also keeps the alliteration in place.
Chicago Butchers -> Buenos Aires Butchers
Did you know that there are some articles out there that call Argentina the Meat Eating Capital of the World? Well that and many other places claim that title. Either way I'm a big fan of alliteration and think that this would be a great fit for a breath of fresh air for the Butchers.
San Jose Sabercats -> Baghdad Honey Badgers
Boom! Capital of Iraq is also the territory of Honey Badgers, at least it shows it as an extant region on Wikipedia. Honey Badgers are famously both aggressive and intelligent, and also not an extinct species! I think this would help add a little coverage and a fun mascot for an experiment in relocation.
Bejing Giant Pandas
This could be a new team, and I chose this because pandas are just a cool animal and any person who denies that is just wrong. Grab a large potential market with China and add this wonderful animal into the league.

Describe your player and/or team’s journey through this latest season. What were the highlights? What were the lower points? What might you have done differently? What are your expectations for next season?
I'm going to be a little selfish and only talk about my player here rather than the team. Currently my player is Chappy McChapperson, who plays for the Dallas Birddogs. I am pretty proud of my players journey with the Dallas Birddogs and I have to thank the GMs and the players around McChapperson. So high points for McChapperson, he was named to the DSFL All-Pro team, nominated for Best Performance for his Week 4 game against the Dallas Grey Ducks, and led the league in Passing Touchdowns and longest reception. Now low points, he led had a three-way tie for the most interceptions in the league, and could not out-do the Tijuana Luchadores defense in the playoffs. A personal low pointI have is the McChapperson needed like one or two more passing touchdowns to break the DSFL record of 39 Touchdowns, and he was so close at 37 Touchdowns.
In terms of things that needed to be done differently, McChapperson needed to be much more consistent in his performances. He posted some bangers of multi-touchdown, 300+yards games, then turn around and become an interception machine. Or worse, like in the playoffs, not show up for the game at all. He needs to become much more of a clutch player to help the Birddog's become the team that they are meant to be.
Now the roster around McChapperson has been fantastic, Dallas sports two of the top Wide Receivers in Lane Frost III (1304 Receiving yeards), and making a fantastic debut was DSFL Offensive Player of the Year Silence Suzuka (1469 Yards) who topped out the receiving yards this season. With these two weapons at hand the future looks bright for the Birddogs and I am looking forward to being their quarterback for the future. I would hope to see an Ultimini appearance in the coming years.
