PT #4: Statues (206 words via Google Docs)

I think our most deserving person currently is Sam Torenson. One of the most recent record holders for the Liberty he has just recently retired as the career rushing records holder. Sam Torenson played for Philly for 7 seasons and throughout that time he was active in the Philly locker room and a key part of past successes for the franchise. Torenson leads all Philly players with a total of 9,207 career rushing yards which is just under 2,000 yards more than the second closest. He also has a whopping 60 rushing touchdowns in that span which puts him 3 over the second closest.

There are many names that I think will be added to this list in the coming years such as Gary Goodman, Jimi DeSoto, Killian Chambers, and Alexander Franklin among others who are too young in their careers but have a very solid shot at achieving recognition. The Philadelphia Liberty have recently been starting to built up towards success through drafting and bringing in quality character and highly loyal players. The current roster will break many of these records that sit in the Philly Hall of Fame and I look forward to being a part of that future!

To be quite honest, I don’t know much about the history of the New York Silverbacks or any ISFL team for that matter. But going solely off of this team’s current roster, there’s a lot of candidates. Sam Howitzer ( @Trautner ), even though he is still pretty young in his career, he is still the Silverbacks leader in almost every passing category. Since quarterback is arguably the most important position, and Howitzer is arguably the best QB in New York’s short history, it would make sense to put him up there. Another choice would be Bob Roberts ( @zaynzk ). As a current GM for the silverbacks and one of the mainstays of New York’s defensive unit, it would make sense for Robert Roberts to get the nod as the statue outside of the Silverbacks’ stadium. My final consideration for a potential statue outside the stadium would be Captain Rogers ( @TeyonSchavari ). New York’s starting running back is both a captain in name and in title, a veteran with amazing leadership abilities, and stats to back up a statue being made. There are plenty more people that deserve a statue on this team, but these are the three I deem most likely. I hope to learn more about the team in the future so I can laugh at this post, but as of right now those would be my picks.

Well, the first person who comes to mind actually never played for the Tijuana Luchadores. In fact, the player I am nominating isn’t even a real user player. However, sometimes greatness is so noteworthy that a bot from a different team needs to be recognized. Now, as everyone knows, 13-1 and is a cursed record in the DSFL. If you go 13-1, you will lose in the conference championship game. I believe in 2 instances Portland went 13-1 and made it to the final, but firstly I don’t believe they went on to win, and secondly, there are far more examples of my rule being true. 12-2 however, you can win it all if you go 12-2. Norfolk was a bot team at the time, Tijuana was 12-1, and we were playing Norfolk. We were testing at 96.5% chance to get us to the cursed record and surely an early exit from the playoffs. However, one brave Seawolf put the team on his back and ran for 127 yards and 3 touchdowns, granting the Luchadores the 12-2 record we desperately needed. We went on to win the S16 Ultimini thanks to the unbelievable talents of the great Darius Rush. For that reason, he must be given a gold statue outside our stadium at once. He’s a hero, and our S16 trophy is all thanks to him.

The person that come in mind for me is in my past player were i played for the coyotes. In S21 the coyotes did amazing during the regular season and where menaces to society. Even though we lost in the ultimini the team was still proud of what we accomplished. But the person i would put for our statue would be Chika Funiwara or User Starboy. Chila was the QB at the time and lead us to having a great season. I do beleive he won an award that year but im not sure since its been a while ago. But either way im pretty sure me and other people that played along with me in S21 would agree that Chika was the the X factor of not just the offense, the whole team. With him as QB we would dominate every game. So if i were to choose our statue it would be chika fujiwara.

There comes a time in every team's history where a player has achieved so much for their individual franchise that they deserved to be immortalized in history with a statue in front of their team's place of practice. For the New Orleans Second Line, I believe that the honor to have a statue of themselves deserves to be bestowed upon our QB, Ben Slothlisberger! For starters, Sloth has been an ironman in his whole career as he never missed a game in his over 10 season career in the league. Furthermore, Sloth has started every game in his 10 seasons playing in the league, demonstrating his commitment to being excellent and being the consummate professional! In addition to the aforementioned facts, Sloth has also had one of the greatest seasons by a QB in the league a couple seasons ago as he threw for over 5000 yards and led us to the Ultimus in dominant fashion which at that point was our second appearance in a row! Thus, with all of the aforementioned considered, I humbly believe and support the notion that Sloth deserves and should have a statue of himself in front of the NOLA facility to honor his achievements to the franchise!

The Philadelphia Liberty have not had much success in their long history in the International Simulation Football League. Even though the team has not seen a ton of success there have been a few players who have had excellent careers playing for the Liberty.
 
I think the Liberty would be apt to choose a duo to be immortalized together. This would be two recently retired Liberty players and the couple of bright stars through a turmoil time in Liberty team history.
Brock Phoenix the former Quarterback of the Liberty was a great player who led a down and trodden team for his entire career and just could not quite get over the hump to win an Ultimus. He is a legend in the Philadelphia locker room and has his number 9 retired by the Liberty.

Joining Phoenix in the statue would be recently retired Running Back Sam Torenson. Torenson was a force on offense in the league. He currently holds the record for most rushing yards by a Running Back and he deserves to be honored with a statue in front of the Liberty stadium and hopefully in a few seasons his bust will be added to the ISFL Hall of Fame.

The statue that should be built is easy for the Minnesota Grey Ducks. Even though he did not play for the specific team, he played for their predecessor, the San Antonio Marshals. Fast Boija is the very obvious choice in the matter, he is easily the best DSFL running back ever, amassing stats and records that will never be broken even in a 16 game season. This man was the definition of dominant, he did not struggle at all in his pinnacle season, and his entire DSFL career is one that most running backs hope they’ will do half as well as. He was as dominant of a player as they come for the Marshals, leading a season that no one expected and seeing a team control games and dominate teams by handing it off endlessly. If Fast Boija does not get a statue outside of the Grey Ducks stadium, something is truly wrong, as no player is more deserving and no player, ISFL or DSFL, has had as dominant of a season rushing as he has. Everyone strives to dominate teams like that, and he did it as if it was nothing but a Sunday stroll, so he is clearly the most deserving candidate for a statue in Minnesota. (210 words)
