A man who was frozen in 1990 in an attempt to save his life has been thawed, and now he wants to play in the NSFL.
Balthazar Crindy, then a college athlete who was diagnosed with strange symptoms after returning from a Caribbean Cruise, was thawed just last year after a "cold case" investigation resulted in a corrected diagnosis. Crindy was in fact not suffering from an unknown disease that might be cured one day in the future. He was suffering from malaria, which was cured in the 17th century with quinine. One treatment regimen and malpractice suit later, Crindy is a free agent, in more ways than one.
Crindy's parents have since passed away, and he has no direct family members alive. His high school sweetheart is a vegan Yogalates instructor who drives for Uber and manages AirBnB properties. Crindy has no idea what any of those things are. They no longer keep in touch.
During discovery of the malpractice settlement, correspondence among the military research doctors revealed that the scientists were desperate for a patient in excellent health to be a test subject for their new cryogenic freezing apparatus, which was an advanced prototype at the time. (Not like the long-term cryostasis devices available now, of course.) Crindy, told he was suffering from a unknown disease that may be cured in the future, signed all the necessary consent forms. The cryogenic freezing process was legal, but now has been revealed to be based on a motivated malicious misdiagnosis.
Locating the scientists who irresponsibly put Crindy on ice in 1990 was easy - they are serving time in federal custody for a variety of charges including kidnapping, practicing without a license, barratry, mail fraud, conspiracy, prescription fraud, real estate fraud, and criminal FEC violations.
Crindy, 22, once a star tight end on the LSU football team in 1989, now desires to enter the NSFL and play the game he was born to play... 51 years ago. He appears to have recovered fully from being served 28-years on ice, despite the primitive cryotechnology in use at the time. He has been focusing on rebuilding muscle mass and a modern training plan.
He brings an old school mentality to an old-school position that is adorably out of touch from 2018's reality, complete with an irrational fear of Russians, a belief that there will never be a good comic book movie, a sense that now-President Donald Trump is a successful businessman, a misunderstanding of phones, and a very large mustache. In other ways, Crindy feels right at home as in 1990. High school past time Dungeons and Dragons is now as popular as ever, TV shows like Stranger Things appear to be "present day", and Stephen King's IT was just made into a movie.
