15. Going to Disneyland! Who was the Ultimus Game MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
MVP of the Ultimus has to be the entire secondary. Is that a cop out? Absolutely not. When push came to shove and we needed a big play, the safeties and cornerbacks were there to make sure we got the job done. Whether it was a sack, pick, touchdown, or simply shutting down the big play offense of Berlin, we stood tall and prevailed against the toughest tests. As for our celebration, the first stop is definitely to the many restaurants that Disneyland offers. Whether it's me, Mac, Bobbo, Mendoza, or Quak, we all love to eat. After throwing back a few chicken legs, we move on to the candy stores that dot the entire Disney campus. Gobstoppers, Reese's, bubble gum, and even a few Swedish Fish fill our bellies before we go on to our final task. Is it smart to have enormous meals and then ride the world's most exciting and thrilling roller coasters? Perhaps. But that's precisely what we do! Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, you name it! I may or may not have had to escort Roberts to the nearest restroom while he had a reversal of fortune, but we had a fantastic time celebrating together as a unit. We're all about the team and could not care less about individual glory. We ball out as a unit and we go to Disneyland as a unit. Defensive backs for life!

22. You’re in charge of entertainment for the Ultimus or Ultimini half-time show. What would you do?
Oh this one is easy. For the entertainment of the halftime show, I bring out the starting lineups for the team that finished last in the overall standings and force them to sing karaoke and perform a dance routine. If they refuse to do this, they lose all of their draft picks, so it would be a sure thing that it would happen. While many shows are semi-fun, semi-entertaining, and semi-engaging, this new entertainment show would be incredible. It would spawn years worth of jokes, memes, and impressions, as well as bringing a light hearted atmosphere to ISFL to take the edge off of a sometimes drama-filled league. The actual musical numbers and dance routines could be made up by the individual franchises and they would have a wide latitude about which to pick from. Plus, it adds an extra element of camaraderie and familial relationship when all the teams could come and watch, join in, and celebrate with not only the worst team, but also the two Ultimus participants. On top of that, you'd also get some extra motivation to avoid coming in last place. The first overall pick is great, but avoiding having to do a scripted dance routine and sing live in front of millions of viewers? That's enough to potentially kill tanking for all time in the ISFL. More parity, more entertainment, more memes. What could possibly be better?

25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?
The pick here for me has to be running back. In many ways, I consider safety and RB as mirror images of one another as far as their role in the team and play to play scheme. My speed and agility would have also translated perfectly to the running back spot and I think I would've truly thrived there. Also like safety, it's becoming more and more of a committee approach where the unit eschews individual glory for overall team success, which is right up my alley. But I have to say, the feeling of scoring a bunch of touchdowns for my team or seeing my little dot race down the field after a big run is really appealing. Plus, the fact that I could be the main threat on the offensive side and be one of the top fantasy options is also really exciting. If and when this player retires, I will take a long look at running back when I make my future selection. But I wouldn't want to just be a runner, I want to be involved in ever aspect of offense. Catching passes, returning kicks, everything! What could be more exciting than lifting the Ultimus Trophy after accounting for 100+ yards and a couple of scores? After seeing the success of our duo in New York, it's clear that RB would be an awesome position to play going forward.
