I considered writing this entirely in-universe, but I really wanted to add some of my own perspective as Booker’s career spanned more than 2 years in real time. On the 16th of February 2020, I stumbled across this reddit post from slm, found it interesting and saved it for later. I’d actually come across DDSPF before as I’ve got a couple thousand hours across the Football Manager series and had tried to look for similar NFL games but only come across the Front Office series, Draft Day etc. And they didn’t scratch that itch for me. A sim player experience seemed like it might go some way to doing that. A few hours later, I was unable to sleep so I spent an hour or so looking around the site before creating a player at 3:48am. In the next hour I created an update thread, did an activity check, did my first free training, posted a render and completed a point task before going to sleep around 5am. I(N)SFL became a big part of my life for the next 18 months before I began to lose interest due to being in three leagues and my life getting much busier, so my last few seasons I didn’t engage with the league much beyond earning.
Here’s the retrospective that Booker deserved, but never got at the time.
The Season 38 Awards Ceremony featured the induction of an incredible 11 players into the ISFL Hall of Fame alongside the usual ISFL awards. Among the 11 inductees was former cornerback Brandon Booker. The former Philadelphia Liberty and Orange County Otters player was present at the ceremony and held an Orange County jersey as he was presented with the allocade and his Hall of Fame ring. The 39 year old, who played college football at Arizona State University before being drafted by the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers in the 5th round of the Season 21 Developmental Simulation Football League Draft, spoke warmly of how he came from relatively humble beginnings and his rise to becoming an Ultimini Champion and a first-round ISFL draft pick. Booker joined a Myrtle Beach defensive backfield that had just reached an Ultimini, losing to the Minnesota Grey Ducks, and so had to compete for a starting spot with other highly-drafted rookies such as Johnny Hellzapoppin and Jonathan Altidor in addition to returning second-year players such as Rotticus Scott. Booker established himself as the Buccaneers’ CB2 across from Scott, and Myrtle Beach overcame their Ultimini heartbreak. The DSFL Defensive Back of the Year nominee helped the Bucs triumph over the Kansas City Coyotes by three scores, with Myrtle Beach allowing just 10 points during the playoffs – the defensive backfield allowed fewer than 300 yards passing and zero touchdowns across the two playoff games.
These impressive performances caught the eye of ISFL scouts, and on draft night the Philadelphia Liberty traded a third-round pick to move up two slots to 4th overall, where they selected Brandon Booker (the second cornerback taken, after the Austin Copperheads selected Colt Mendoza of Dallas with the first pick). The Liberty had three selections in the first 18 picks and hoped to rebuild their secondary with safeties Matt Cross and Wesley Eriksen joining the team alongside Booker. Booker earned the CB1 job in preseason, and immediately established himself as one of the ISFL’s premier cornerbacks. In his four seasons in Philadelphia he was selected to two ISFL Pro Bowls and nominated for three individual awards, including being nominated for Cornerback of the Year. In Season 24 he had the finest season of his career so far, leading the ISFL in forced turnovers (7) and defensive touchdowns (2) while also adding 10 passes defended and 3 sacks. In Week 12 he returned an interception from Yellowknife Wraiths quarterback Colby Jack for a 75-yard touchdown as the Liberty went on to win 23-20, but this was just one of three wins the team managed over the course of the season.
At the end of Season 25, the Liberty were 25-36 over the course of Booker's career - contrasting somewhat with Booker leading all cornerbacks in interceptions, total turnovers and defensive touchdowns since the day he was drafted. His sole playoff appearance to date was a 32-25 loss to the Colorado Yeti three seasons prior. Reports began to circulate around the league that the star cornerback had asked for a trade, and soon afterwards Booker’s agent informed media insiders that the Liberty had agreed a trade with another NSFC team, the Sarasota Sailfish. Booker boarded a plane to Florida, and spent the next few days at the Sailfish team facility meeting his new coaches and teammates. New information leaked out, and it was suddenly being reported that the Liberty had backed out of the trade with Sarasota, and agreed a deal with the Orange County Otters that would send Booker to California in exchange for multiple players and draft picks. Booker’s agent immediately flew back to Philly, and after some negotiations secured Booker’s release from the team: making him an unrestricted free agent.
The fourth-year player was coming off another impressive season in which he’d secured four interceptions and his fifth career pick-six, and was the league’s most-coveted free agent. Booker signed a six-year, $24m contract with Orange County, where he’d spend the rest of his career. This contract made him one of the highest-paid players at his position, and he continued to play like it. In the second quarter of his regular season debut for Orange County, Booker returned a punt from Arizona punter J.J. Jay-Jaymison for a 98-yard touchdown – an ISFL record which still stands. He deflected three passes in a high-scoring affair that ended in a 45-42 victory, with fellow Hall of Famer Alex Dasistwirklichseinnachname breaking Outlaw hearts with a 53-yard field goal in the final minute of the game.
His first interception as an Otter came two weeks later on the road against Honolulu, when Booker picked off an errant Luke Skywalker pass in Hahalua territory to set up a score as Orange County triumphed 31-7. Booker successfully made it back to the ISFL playoffs, but his signing with the Otters coincided with a relative slump for the ISFL’s most successful franchise. They unfortunately fell to the New Orleans Second Line in the wildcard round in S26, before missing the playoffs entirely in S27 – though Booker’s individual play remained stellar as he moved into the top five all-time in career pick-sixes. Booker managed four more turnovers and yet another defensive touchdown in S28, before setting the league alight again in S29. Booker intercepted five passes, forced three fumbles, defended 23 passes and returned one of those interceptions for a touchdown as he was again nominated for Cornerback of the Year and selected to the Pro Bowl. Booker would add another 11 turnovers and 49 passes defended in the next three seasons, as the veteran cornerback looked to defy Father Time.
In Season 33, with Booker’s speed starting to desert him and with the emergence of talented cornerbacks Richard Leaking and S28 first-round pick Anton Bruckner, Booker transitioned to the safety position rather than matching up with wide receivers a decade younger than him on the outside. He continued to make plays, deflecting nine passes and recording five sacks when blitzing. Orange County ended their 10-year wait to return to the Ultimus, finishing the season 9-7 before navigating their way through the ASFC playoffs. The Orange County defence sacked Austin quarterback Jackie Daytona five times and allowed just two scores as they beat the Copperheads in the wildcard round before overcoming the ASFC favourite Arizona on the road 34-29 in the ASFC Championship Game thanks in large part to talismanic running back Goat Tank Jr.’s 174 total yards and two touchdowns.
The Ultimus pit the Otters against the Baltimore Hawks, who were ending an even longer drought – having not played in the league’s championship game since Season 17, almost half the league’s existence. Orange County’s defence started the game on fire. Richard Leaking intercepted a pass by Gimmy Jaroppolo Jr. on the first drive and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown, giving the Otters the lead inside a minute. Three plays later, Booker rolled back the years by forcing a turnover of his own – knocking the ball out of the hands of rookie tight end Lenard Graf and recovering the fumble deep inside Baltimore territory. Goat Tank Jr. would run it in for a 1-yard touchdown on the resulting drive, setting up Baltimore for its third possesson and third turnover. On 2nd down, Jaroppolo Jr. attempted to escape pressure but was brought down by rookie defensive end Leonardo McTurtle and spilled the ball. McTurtle recovered the fumble, and an impressive stand by the Baltimore defence limited the damage to 3 points – but Orange County had forced 3 turnovers in 8 plays and were up 17-0.
On the next drive, Baltimore finally got their first first down. They crossed midfield, before a third down sack by defensive end Will Stern forced a punt, meaning Orange County started their first drive from their own territory with a 3-score lead. A 56-yard completion to Owen Holloway on 2nd down meant that the Otters were back on familiar ground two plays later, and a rushing touchdown by Goat Tank Jr. on 1st-and-goal meant that the first quarter ended 24-0.
The Baltimore offence finally got in gear in the second quarter, putting together a 14 play, 75 yard touchdown drive that took almost 7 minutes off the clock. An Orange County three-and-out gave them a chance to cut the deficit and Baltimore duly responded, with Jaroppolo completing a second touchdown pass. A sack by Brandon Booker on 2nd and 10 of their third and final drive of the quarter helped ensure that Orange County ended the half with a 10 point lead.
The two sides traded three-and-outs to start the second half before an Owen Holloway touchdown restored Orange County’s three-score lead, to which Baltimore responded with a field goal. Orange County entered the fourth quarter with a 14 point lead and the ball, which is where things went wrong. Rookie quarterback Tron Carter made his first big mistake with 13:42 left in the 4th quarter (after a conversion on 4th and 8 from near midfield) when he had a pass intercepted on the 1-yard line by Baltimore cornerback Raeni Clarke. She returned it 27 yards before Baltimore scored with a one play, 72 yard drive. 7 point game.
Carter marched Orange County down the field in response, but the five play drive was arguably too short, with the quarterback completing four of four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. 14 point game again, now 9 minutes remaining. Four minutes later, Jaroppolo Jr. was completing his fourth touchdown pass of the day to cut the lead in half again. It wasn’t over, but Baltimore still needed at least two big plays to go their way. They got the first with 4:08 remaining, when Tron Carter threw an interception on second down. First down Baltimore in OCO territory. Five plays later, the Hawks were staring at 4th-and-2 on the 26-yard line. Dante King broke through the front seven for a 19-yard gain, and on the next play Jimmy Garoppolo Jr. found Lenard Graf in the endzone for a touchdown. The game was tied, for the first time since 14:09 in the first quarter, 42-42. Orange County receive the kickoff with 2:19 remaining. An incompletion, a four yard reception, and a drop on third down resulted in a 25 second three-and-out. Baltimore’s first play of the resulting drive was a 41-yard catch and run, taking them into long field goal range. The Otters defence held, and rookie kicker Daybe Downbad made the 51-yard field goal.
Orange County’s final drive started on the 11 yard line, with a minute and six seconds on the clock. Field goal to tie, touchdown to win. Three straight incompletions set up 4th down and 10. Carter’s pass to Holloway was completed behind the first down marker, and the wide receiver was tackled four yards short. Dante King ran for a first down, and Baltimore kneeled for the victory.
Booker played one final season, but that was his last playoff game. In Week 10 of Season 34, Brandon Booker intercepted his 37th and final ISFL pass, picking off New Orleans quarterback IsHe ReallyInvisible in the 2nd quarter of a 27-24 loss. This interception moved him up to 4th all-time in career interceptions, and meant he finished his career in the top 5 in both career interceptions and defensive touchdowns, and top 10 in career pass deflections and punt return average. Orange County finished the season 5-11, and Brandon Booker announced his retirement after 13 ISFL seasons.
By the time he was eligible for induction into the ISFL Hall of Fame Booker had seen younger players like Lip Gallagher match and then pass him in interceptions, but he stands out as one of the best cornerbacks in ISFL history. Playing in an era which included multiple Hall of Fame cornerbacks such as Harrison Andrews and Andrew Witten, Booker accumulated more individual statistics than anyone else at the position and was the most consistent of a group of incredible players. Booker didn’t have the highs that some others at the position did, and didn’t experience any playoff wins until his penultimate season, but he just kept churning out statistically impressive seasons throughout his career.
I’ll return to my own narration now and say that looking back, I can’t have any complaints about how Booker’s career went. On DDSPF16, I constantly tested for the best way to apply my next c. 100 TPE and felt like I reaped the rewards in that my player was the most statistically successful at his position over that time period. I knew from the moment I read BigKicks’ article about regression that I wanted to play the full 13 seasons, and that I wanted to make the Hall of Fame. I really would’ve loved to win that Ultimus in S33, and I was worried that my player might not make it into the Hall of Fame due to the lack of playoff and awards success, but once you remove that element I really have to be proud, if that’s not ridiculous, of how good Brandon Booker was. When I made that player creation post at almost 4am, I never thought that my player was going to retire with the 4th-most interceptions and 3rd-most pick sixes in league history. And when I remember how much time I spent writing media and testing the sim, how many hours I spent on discord talking about the league, I would’ve found it incredible to learn that my player turned out to be so good.
In the article I wrote when I recreated a couple of weeks ago, I was pretty nostalgic about my player creation but taking the time to look back over Booker’s success and the Ultimus heartbreak has felt very worthwhile. However, I don’t think I’ll ever play as a defensive back again. How do I realistically top this? If instead of creating Tolliver I’d created another DB, and finished with 34 career interceptions, 200 pass deflections, 7 defensive touchdowns and made an Ultimus appearance I’d be… disappointed. And that player would be one of the best of his generation. So spoiler alert: Tolliver is not switching to DB.
I think this will be the last time I write about Booker in detail, as his last game was in Season 34 and we’re heading into the Season 40 draft. I’m a bit sentimental, so before I start writing media about my new player and about the league again I wanted to revisit his career one last time. Thank you to those eight Hall of Fame voters, all my GMs, all the players I GM'd, and everyone else in this league who makes it fun. For my first player in any sim league, Brandon Booker was pretty fucking good.
Here’s the retrospective that Booker deserved, but never got at the time.
The Season 38 Awards Ceremony featured the induction of an incredible 11 players into the ISFL Hall of Fame alongside the usual ISFL awards.

A 56-yard completion to Owen Holloway on 2nd down meant that the Otters were back on familiar ground two plays later, and a rushing touchdown by Goat Tank Jr. on 1st-and-goal meant that the first quarter ended 24-0.
The Baltimore offence finally got in gear in the second quarter, putting together a 14 play, 75 yard touchdown drive that took almost 7 minutes off the clock. An Orange County three-and-out gave them a chance to cut the deficit and Baltimore duly responded, with Jaroppolo completing a second touchdown pass. A sack by Brandon Booker on 2nd and 10 of their third and final drive of the quarter helped ensure that Orange County ended the half with a 10 point lead.
The two sides traded three-and-outs to start the second half before an Owen Holloway touchdown restored Orange County’s three-score lead, to which Baltimore responded with a field goal. Orange County entered the fourth quarter with a 14 point lead and the ball, which is where things went wrong.

She returned it 27 yards before Baltimore scored with a one play, 72 yard drive. 7 point game.
Carter marched Orange County down the field in response, but the five play drive was arguably too short, with the quarterback completing four of four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. 14 point game again, now 9 minutes remaining. Four minutes later, Jaroppolo Jr. was completing his fourth touchdown pass of the day to cut the lead in half again. It wasn’t over, but Baltimore still needed at least two big plays to go their way. They got the first with 4:08 remaining, when Tron Carter threw an interception on second down. First down Baltimore in OCO territory. Five plays later, the Hawks were staring at 4th-and-2 on the 26-yard line. Dante King broke through the front seven for a 19-yard gain, and on the next play Jimmy Garoppolo Jr. found Lenard Graf in the endzone for a touchdown. The game was tied, for the first time since 14:09 in the first quarter, 42-42. Orange County receive the kickoff with 2:19 remaining. An incompletion, a four yard reception, and a drop on third down resulted in a 25 second three-and-out. Baltimore’s first play of the resulting drive was a 41-yard catch and run, taking them into long field goal range. The Otters defence held, and rookie kicker Daybe Downbad made the 51-yard field goal.
Orange County’s final drive started on the 11 yard line, with a minute and six seconds on the clock. Field goal to tie, touchdown to win. Three straight incompletions set up 4th down and 10. Carter’s pass to Holloway was completed behind the first down marker, and the wide receiver was tackled four yards short. Dante King ran for a first down, and Baltimore kneeled for the victory.
