Hello, and welcome to a semi irregular series of interviews I will be doing, called "Redefining Rookies." As a result of some terrible mock drafts done by some people not named, I came to the conclusion that people are getting snubbed simply because players are being evaluated at TPE levels, and not as players. as such I have decided to correct this egregious mistake by interviewing some of the new guys to the ISFL, through the eyes of someone who is new to the ISFL. I will be interviewing some top prospects that you might not have even known existed if you weren't paying attention, and give them an opportunity to let themselves be heard.
Our first interview is with @Moldycheez4 A corner from the Bondi Beach Buccaneers, and first overall pick of the S36 DSFL draft.

Hello Mr. Oexius, how has your day been So far?
Jason Oexius —
I have been nursing a 2 day old hangover
Gadget —
would it be better to get in touch with you another day then? I know those can be brutal.
Jason Oexius —
Nah you're good lmao Today is my free day So prolly the best day to do it.
Gadget —
So then, how have you found your time in the league so far?
Jason Oexius —
Pretty good. I have lots of good fun in this league.
Gadget —
anything in specific you like or dislike?
Jason Oexius —
Well, obviously the league wouldn't be what it is without the people in it so there's a big like. The people are super nice and always help if you need it, and what I dislike about the league so far? The Norfolk Seawolves, the bastards.
Gadget —
Why Norfolk in particular? is there some Bondi Beach Beef I missed out on?
Jason Oexius —
They won't let me catch their Pokémon, They're jelly of my mad skills bro
Gadget —
ah, any particular incident or just all around behavior?
Jason Oexius —
I was just minding my own business, ya know, catching em all. Next thing I knew after the draft I was no longer in their locker room I asked what was up and they said "team policy" pffft.
Gadget —
oh, so they had you on waivers, but didn't draft you?
Jason Oexius —
I was on the royals but they invited me In during scouting lol. No real beef but since I was kicked i been joking about it. Gotta catch them pokemans, and they have hindered my progress
Gadget —
so why did you pick your position?
Jason Oexius—
Corners are the most important part of modern defenses imo. If you can't defend receivers you can't stop touchdowns and if you can stop touchdowns you can't win the games, so naturally some of my favorite players are corners thus making me want to be a corner. Also it was a needed position.
Gadget —
did you know it was needed going into the draft?
Jason Oexius —
Yes I knew it was needed before I even made it, honestly just worked out though cause I wanted to make a corner anyways
Gadget —
how about your render, how did you decide your render?
Jason Oexius —
Mainly his jersey number, Malcom Jenkens just happened to wear 27
Gadget —
is there anything you would like to let the ISFL teams know?
buttersilkpanflakes —
I'm the best, Way better than Gadget here* (Source needed)
Jason Oexius —
I kid but I bring more to the table than just teeps (my ruggedly good looks for example) I guess I'll like them to know that. Also Jarvis finna be sacrificed when I hit the field
Gadget —
what exactly do you think you bring that makes you unique.
Jason Oexius—
Locker room activity and team contribution. I'm new but I try to help wherever I can really
Gadget —
what do you think makes you worth taking over a potential re-create? specifically, you are still a fairly unknown factor, and most teams can take someone who has already gone around. why should they take the risk on you?
Jason Oexius —
The mystery of course, they could go for some boring old recreate but why not have some fun trying something new
Gadget —
What drew you into the league? was it a friend or did you see it online somewhere?
Jason Oexius —
My man dude_man
He made a post on the Green Bay Packers SubReddit
Which if I remember correctly, is the same place you are from
Packer gang
Gadget —
Yep, I'm impressed you remember that, go Pack go
Gadget —
what kept ya here past the initial hump of getting in, which can be quite tough.
Jason Oexius —
Strangely enough, I find the updating pretty satisfying. Also reading the media really got me into it I thought some of it was really funny and I wanted to make my own stuff like that. Specifically I think one of the first ones I read was actually from dream sloth talking about sacrificing his kicker or some shit like that.
Gadget —
when are you going to post some media?
Jason Oexius —
My media? I've already dropped a couple
Most recently my rebuttal rankings to dreamsloths rankings
Gadget —
do you prefer the media as a way to make money?
have you tried your hand at graphics or would you consider a job?
buttersilkpanflakes —
It s a good way to make it but I probably make most of mine off Twitter.
As for graphics I would never be able to make anything like people make here so no I probably won't be trying that
I actually have an auditor job already that I got this season
Gadget —
ah, i could never be an auditor, too much thinking for me.
Jason Oexius —
Its pretty easy just a lot of counting I suppose ?
Gadget —
are you in any other sim leagues or have you looked at potentially joining them?
Jason Oexius —
Eh I got all my focus in on this one, I loves football and this helps make the off-season more bearable lmao.
Gadget —
how commited to Bondi Beach are you, especially with the draft coming up around the corner.
Jason Oexius —
I'm very committed to Bondi Beach, but I will be committed to anyone who takes me.
Gadget —
In the future, should you create a new player, would you want to go back to Bondi Beach?
Jason Oexius —
Probably, but thats a ways down the line. Glims and Artix might already be fired by then
Gadget —
Glad to see Bondi hasn't changed since I left.
Jason Oexius —
Fire glims and artix!
Gadget —
Now here's the important details that everyone needs to know, and you will be most judged on: Imagine it’s friday, what does your ideal friday night look like?
Jason Oexius —
It is Friday. And on Fridays its always 5 o-clock.
Gadget —
Either way, what does your perfect Friday look like?
Jason Oexius —
Surgery free ?
Gadget —
I'm catching strays for NO good reason
Jason Oexius —
Lmaoo, I don't know probably bar hopping downtown with a bunch of buddies. You can never not have fun doing that.
Lol I've made myself sound like an alcoholic in this league LET IT BE KNOWN I DONT ACTUALLY DRINK THAT MUCH
Gadget —
"I actually drink that much" -Ouexilus
Jason Oexius —
Slander i say! Only 7 days a week!
Gadget —
Do you have a drink of choice? this is a graded question.
Jason Oexius —
I mean nah I'll honestly drink anything besides patron and fireball
Used to love fireball but can't drink it anymore and patron is just the worst thing I've ever tasted. I like amaretto sours quite a bit, but rum and coke probably the main choice.
(Grader's notes, fine taste, if a little bland, B+)
Gadget —
Finally last question, why are you going to loose DROTY to me?
Jason Oexius —
Because when I lose to you it will only be in your dreams
Gadget —
is there anything else you want the world to hear?
Jason Oexius-
Fire Glims!
Gadget —
Fire Glims!
Jason Oexius —
Thank you for having me inspector.
Gadget —
Thank you, and have a great day.
