(S10) - PT 3 - Memories - Justice - 09-15-2018
Before Justice left LSU for the big leagues his fellow teammates thought this was the time to throw the biggest rager the school has seen in years. Ty Justice, being the party animal savage he was going through school, almost at career destroying levels, was of course down for the whole thing. This place was going to have everything, booze, women, drugs, you name it. The LSU rookies spent the entire Friday setting up, if everything was going to go according to planned everything would be good by Saturday night. We're talking moving tables into the frathouse for beer pong, rearranging the furniture inside to make for space, sending invites out to as many people as possible through a Facebook event while making sure it wouldn't be a hotspot for any cops that want to stroll through for a check up, the works. Finally, Saturday arrived, boy did it ever. Must have been thousands of beers in total, litres upon litres of hard alcohol, all for some sophomore wide receiver making it big in the DSFL. The amount of booze and cocaine Ty Justice ingested that night would probably be enough to kill anyone else, but Justice is a trooper and he wasn't going to let anything take him down.

Ben Horne has had many memorable moments in his life. However, the most influential, in terms of his football career, was Super Bowl XXXII, The Denver Broncos vs Green Bay Packers. Of course Ben was too young to remember this Super Bowl live, but his father had a VHS recording of the game. One day, when Ben about 9, he found this tape in a stack of old VHS tapes his parents were going to sell at a garage sale. In typical curious fashion, Ben watched the tape, 90’s Super Bowl commercials and all. Up to this point, Ben was pretty neutral on sports, but this game changed that. This game was more than a 1 time affair, but a game with a long back story. The Denver Broncos, and then old man John Elway, had lost 4 Super Bowls. John may have been one of the best QBs of all time, but without a Super Bowl ring, he was just a regular old Dan Marino. On the other side was the reigning champions and their gunslinger Brett Favre, the first player ever to win the NFL MVP award three times. The Broncos were underdogs. The game was a constant fight, with a close score throughout the match, until Terrell Davis, coming off a 1750 yard rushing season (and getting 2000 yards the next season), busted through the defense (which included the late great Reggie White) for a touchdown with less than 2 minutes to go. Terrell Davis would become the Super Bowl MVP. This game illustrated that football was a highly strategic and competitive sport with a backstory. And from this day forward, Ben would become obsessed with football, and a lifelong Denver Broncos fan.

Lennox didn't really know his parents for a large chunk of his childhood. They had moved to the United States shortly after his first birthday, and he didn't join them until after his tenth. "I remember when I got off the plane, with my Aunt Gloria," Lennox recalls. "First time I'd been out of Jamaica, and I was going to effectively meet my parents for the first time."
Arriving at his new home in Palmetto Estates, he was greeted by not only his parents, but two younger siblings. "I didn't know I would be meeting a younger brother and sister, too," he explains. "But there they were. It was like getting a whole new family in a way. Miss Rita was my mom more than this lady, and I never had a dad."
But if not for that flight, that arrival in Palmetto Estates with Aunt Gloria, Lennox would never have gotten a US education, never would have played football, never would have made it to the DSFL. "I'll never forget that day, it was the start of a new life, but I have to remember where I came from." Lennox insists. "Luckily, my mom and dad never forgot either."

Known by many around the world as a pure figure who would never commit sins for any reason, Dan Schneider has experienced many different memories over the years that he likes to ponder about whenever he's just sitting at home at night. Just to cover one of those fun memories of his, this one only occured more recently following the drafting of him by the Portland Pythons. How would any self respecting human being celebrate upon being drafted to a sports team like they've always wanted? That's right, go to a Chuck E Cheese and get black-out drunk in the bathrooms. Bringing alcohol into a child's restaurant for the purpose of public intoxication has never been an easy task, but Dan has done this many times before so he's practically an expert at this point. The key is to just not so you don't get tackled by the security and given community service time. The truth is that Dan is just a fan of seeing the Chuck E Cheese band while sipping a nice glass of Pepsi. He's always been a huge fan of visiting the band but his signing made him want to travel back to his roots so he could harness what it meant to be Dan Schneider. It surely worked, because he still loves some weird stuff.

One of the most defining moment for Curtis Saul was when he decided to leave his hometown, Newcastle Upon Tyne, right after college to move to the United States. He took that decision solely for his future as a football player. He knew that in England, there wasn’t a lot of possibility to play American football for a living. He would have to move to the states if he really wanted to be known and to possibly join a team. Once in the United States, he quickly enrolled into the DSFL draft in order to be selected in one of the most famous development leagues for the National Simulation Football League. He had a few months before the draft so he had to find a way to live and still practice while he was in a foreign country. Fortunately for him, he was speaking the language and was able to quickly find a part time job and an apartment to rent. The move defined his life as he was able to 100% focus on his dream of becoming a National Simulation Football League player and helped him realize he would do anything he could in order to be able to achieve that dream. Nothing would stand in his way.

Cameron Taylor grew up playing hockey, and he was pretty darn good at it too. Being Canadian, it was just a way of life up there. Everyone played. So Cameron will never forget the day his high school football coach approached him. At first it was very confusing. Why was a football coach talking to a hockey player. Those athlete group almost never intersected. Well, Cameron was going to be that common link. The coach promised he could continue to play hockey during the fall and winter and then start football in the spring and summer. It was a great way for Cameron to cross train a little bit and to try something new. Who knew that over ten years later Cameron would be a starting safety for the Yellowknife Wraiths in the NSFL. After a successful career at Michigan, a trophy winning season in the DSFL, and tack on a Ultimus in S8 of the NSFL, you could say that Cameron Taylor has had a very fortunate football career so far. And really, it all came down to that day that the football coach wanted a hockey player to hit people on the field rather than the ice. Had it not been for the coach, Cameron would probably be off in the SHL enjoying a different mediocre career.

Originally, Will Foster actually didn’t want to be a football player. He actually had an incredible interest in hockey, a surprising development for a kid from Bucksnort, Tennessee. However, he found that his path to a professional hockey career was often impeded. Surprisingly to people unfamiliar with the area, Foster actually grew up within a reasonable drive of several youth hockey leagues in the greater Nashville area, and his parents were willing to do whatever it took to help their son fulfill his dream.
However, his first trip to Nashville to join such a league was met with incredible resistance, as many white-haired old men met him at the door with staffs and canes saying new people were not allowed to join the leagues. Foster and several other players were turned away that day, out of fear that somehow adding more future hockey players to the world would diminish the quality of hockey in Tennessee. Foster was met with great disappointment and sadness … until a local pee-wee football coach saw him walking back to the car with his parents, head hung low, and approached him.
“Did they turn you away too, son?” the coach asked.
“Yes,” Foster said between tears.
“They don’t know what they’re missing,” the coach said. “You clearly look like an athlete. Say, have you ever thought about playing football.”
Foster hadn’t. His dream had always been to be a pro hockey player. But considering the circumstances of the day, he was willing to give anything a try. He signed up to play football that fall, and the rest is history.

When Zoro was very young, he trained the art of swordmanship at Koshiros dojo in Shimotsuki Village. There he met Kuina, a young beautiful woman who also was the daughter of Koshiro. She was an incredibly skilled swordsman, or woman i guess. Kuina and Zoro sparred every day and kuina would always win. So Zoro started trainign with 2 swords to get the upper hand, but she would still beat him. That is when he started training the three sword style, where he grips one sword with his teeth. He started gaining on her but she was still the best swordsman in the dojo. After 2001 fights Zoro had still not won a single fight, but he challenged her to a fight with real swords, and she accepted. However the day after the vow she fell down the stairs and died when she was getting a sharpening block. He blamed her for running away from the vow, but he was just a kid who was finally about to beat his rival/love interest. From that day on Zoro went on to become the strongest swordsman in the world, while making Luffy the pirate king. Of course that is now ancient history, as Zoro is long since retired, before he join the NFSL.

Being on the best DSFL team for about two seasons, some of Adriana's fondest memories are of her time with the Luchadores. Signing her first contract as a free agent, winning her first Ultimini, being drafted by them... But it's really her second championship with Tijuana that was the most memorable. She just had a record breaking season, ending up with the offensive rookie of the year and quarterback of the year trophies, and the Luchadores were heading into the playoffs as the favourites to win it all. It wasn't going to be easy to repeat, with the Marshals and the Pythons in their way. The final was as epic as it could get, ending in overtime, on home turf, with their second title in as many seasons. And this time, Adriana didn't sit on the bench, just watching her teammates do all the work like the previous season. She had a great game in the finals, with 2 TDs. It was her last match playing with her favourite target, Xavier Flash, so it was bittersweet, but at least they made the most out of it. Even if this season is a bit more difficult, at least she'll always have S9 and the Luchadores' second championship to look back to for happier times.
