(S4) - PT #1 - Life after football

[Muford]

Vincent Sharpei always had plans for after football, and he had originally started his business back in Season two but was sadly shut down. The Paint Shoppe was something that Sharpei wanted to do as an off-season job and one day do it full time, to eventually passing it off to his son but that’s not how life always works when the NSFL Dictators decide to take it down and ruin your hopes and dreams. But all that has changed once Vincent Sharpei signed his new contract with San Jose. A lot of plans have slowly been put into action and there has been an unnamed business partner that is working with Vincent behind the scenes to make sure that The Paint Shoppe will come back. This is what Vincent has been working on this off-season and has been so quiet throughout the last few weeks. He has done a lot of work behind the scenes to get his business up and running again, and that is his lifelong passion. Once football ends for Sharpei, The Paint Shoppe Endures. Vincent has already had mini Shoppes pop up throughout the United States and he is looking for it to go global within the next year.

After Chris' 30 year career is finished, he will be looking into coaching, hoping to spread his knowledge of defenses to newer offensive players and how to defeat them. What he wont do is bounce back and forth between retire or not. He's hitting that number and then calling it a career. If the coaching doesn't work out, he will just take his money, and do absolutely nothing... No getting up early, just going to bed when he wants, getting up when he wants and in between doing what he wants. Perhaps Mondays would be gaming day, perhaps not, maybe he would just sit there for hours reading, perhaps not. No matter the day or how he is feeling, the part he looks forward to most is the freedom, the ability to look outside on any given day and say...naaah not today, maybe tomorrow. After a lifetime of deadlines and schedules, first in high school then Navy, then Professional leagues, the want to just do nothing is quite strong in Chris. If it comes down to it, and he has to choose, he would want to stick with what hes been doing for so long, and if not, he is completely fine with just sticking with nothing.

Right now, there is no "after football" for Yellowknife Wraiths receiver Bailey Cook. There is only football, and well...who knows what will come after it. The focus is right now.

With all that said, he does have an avenue to potentially go down. Cook has always been an avid writer. He used to blog back in high school, and always aced his writing and English courses. In a scouting interview way back then, the reporter asked him about his academics and he listed writing as his favorite part of school. His interests in writing are quite varied, as he has done everything from poems to short stories, to memoirs, and of course, song lyrics.

Could Bailey Cook sustain a writing career after football? I'm sure he could. He is building up a reputation as a very likable person in the league and I would imagine that would carry over into his post-career. The man has a fanbase, and I know I for one would certainly read his writing when all is said and done.

It is nice to think about Bailey Cook as a writer, but like I said in the opening, there is only Bailey Cook as a football player right now. That is job one, and once he finishes that, it can be on to job two.

When Mayran Jackson has finished his career in the NSFL he already has his plans set out for some post-career success. One of his ventures will be writing as he graduated Cal Berkeley with a degree in Literature which some view as the most pointless degree one can get. However, Mayran is going to be writing a book that he says is already in the works. The title is NSFL related considering he still has it fresh in his mind. The title is "How Now To Suck At Football: Mayran Jackson's tails of Stormblessed's failures". It's no secret that Mayran Jackson has an ongoing feud with washed up receiver Stormblessed as he was the one teammate in Arizona that players had shipped off because he was the laughing stock of a generation. Thus, Jackson has chosen to write a book with Stormblessed on the mind and it looks to be a good one. From locker room stories to some superior statistics sharing of Jackson's lopsided numbers above Stormblessed's terrible numbers. Jackson also said he will have former teammates share their stories in the novel to create a more hands on and open view of Stormblessed's failures in he NSFL. Of note, Stormblessed still has less titles than Mayran Jackson.

Charlie Law already has his post football plans locked up in his mind. He took enough speech and acting classes to have a minor in theater in college, which sets him up perfectly for the broadcasting career he wants to go into. Of course, there's also commercials, television, and maybe one day movies. That's all well into the future though. For now the basic setup is clear. As soon as he hangs up the cleats he's going to be on the phone with networks. He knows that he'll probably end up starting at some third tier game setup or being some regional voice only part of the country hears. But...starting from a position of doubt and proving it is just what Charlie Law does anyway. Even now, he makes sure to take a little time each week to watch a few good and (in his view) bad announcers so he can glean ideas and the mechanics of what they do well or terribly. Because he knows that he's never going to want to leave the game he loves completely. And he doesn't really want to coach. So this is his perfect plan. And if those phone calls start coming in from Hollywood one day...well..he's not going to be mad at that either.

Despite being a linebacker in the most competitive football league on the planet, AC Hackett is of the ever more popular opinion that football sucks. When his playing career is over, Hackett intends to take a stab managing the true beautiful game: basketball. There are multiple avenues that Hackett can take to crossover into the big leagues, all eventually leading to the same place.

Channeling a voice that feels like fine wine down your earlobe, Hackett could go the broadcasting route. Growing up even into his college days, he idolized the people that narrated the fast-paced dance. Starting at youth games and working up, color commentary or play-by-play broadcasting represents one of the more natural ways that Hackett could break into franchise management.

If the broadcasting route doesn't pan out, Hackett could go the more traditional route to becoming an NBA GM, working as a scout in an organization and cutting his teeth in player evaluation. As a former defensive stopper, there's little doubt that Hackett knows how to measure up a basketball player, but there would be some transition when trying to both analyze and project a player's two-way potential. With contract negotiation down, player eval is the missing piece in Hackett's quest to a front office role, a piece filled as soon as he elects to hang up the cleats.

When Jimmy Cox retires from the NSFL, he has plans to open a chicken restaurant with his good friend @Gooney that will be named Jimmy Cox's Chicken Emporium. His first order of business after opening this new chicken restaurant will be to release an ad campaign based around the stardom of 340 pound quarterback Wallace Stone (@Evok), who will undoubtedly be the best quarterback of all time by the time Jimmy Cox has retired. Wallace Stone will be in the restaurant eating chicken, and then Vinny Cox will show up and say, hey whats up my dude do u want some more of that sick chicken and wallace will say for sure dude this is the best chicken ever made. His second order of business will of course be finding a reliable supplier. Since Big Bot (@loco) is a known drug dealer, he is obviously an expert on supply, and is able to create an illegal chicken smuggling ring to supply Jimmy's chicken, but only if Jimmy agrees to launder money through his chicken restaurant. Jimmy will take the pseudonym "Jimstavo Fring" and will get to work. Of course, Jimstavo is not no law breaker, and he pays the legislators to make sure that they edit the law to make chicken legal in the state of california. They tell him that it already is and that he's the stupidest man they've ever had a conversation with, but that doesn't stop Jimstavo from grindin.

King Bronko has an easy and foolproof plan after pro football. Some people have financial struggles after their careers are over, but that will most definitely NOT be the case for me.

Step one will be to open up a strip club with my good pal Reg Mackworthy. Me and him already know enough of the working girls to get a good following. Guaranteed it will be the best club in Arizona.

Next step is to get a job at NSFLN. They always need fresh new faces to make new shows and capture new audiences. I got the analysis, and I can definitely appeal to the younger sports fan crowd. As well as the female crowd

From there, I'll spend some time working on being a sports agent. Matt James told me that Roc Nation Sports has some openings...

After that, I'll start my coaching career. It'll be perfect. I'll model my personality after Mike Singletary. I'll be that one grumpy ass dude who gets pissed off at everything, busts balls at practice, and yells at the media every time they ask a stupid question (or any question, to be honest).

After i inevitably get fired from coaching after pissing someone off, I'll probably just open up a restaurant franchise.
