(S3) - PT #5 - Paying the Bills

[ItsJustBarry]

Considering that he doesn't really need the money. Trey Willie doesn't hold a full time job during the off season. He has a friend back home who opened a new pizza shop so you can occasionally see Trey helping out. Before Trey headed off to college, he held a pizza job in high school so he was already familiar with the duties and responsibilities. His friend appreciates Trey’s help and has seen a dramatic increase in business when Trey is rumored to be working. Everyone in town wants to see their small town boy turned NSFL star. When Trey does work, he can usually be found manning the oven inside. While this is a necessary job, it allows him time to chat with the locals who have come to see him. On occasion, Trey has even been seen hitting the streets delivering the pizzas. This is somewhat of a funny sight as Trey spent the majority of his NSFL contract on a new Ferrari. This doesn’t stop him though as he tears through the streets making sure customers get their food hot and under 30 minutes. When Trey is not helping his friend at his shop, he can probably be found at home playing games or searching the web for new, exciting porn.

In the offseason, Clifford Rove, like many players, can be found doing some extra work to pick up some cash on the side. Rove owns three Shake Shack burger joints, and helps to run them hand’s on while he is free in the offseason. All of them have been incredibly successful, with lines out the door come lunch time. While he attributes it to the Shake Shack quality and service, many customers say that it is the best run Shake Shack they’ve ever been to.

So what does Rove get on a burger? Easy. He gets a double patty cheeseburger, with onion, pickles, jalapeños, ketchup, and mayo. While his name isn’t on the menu board yet, maybe one day it will get added as his signature burger. Although it doesn’t make him money, Rove also performs a lot of charity work in the offseason, not only by doing sick visits, but also by holding fundraisers to raise money for organizations.

Rove will also spend usually about a week of the offseason actually working in his Shake Shack. He takes a paycut to just above minimum wage like everyone else, and works in the kitchen. He says that it is to help him better understand his employees.

Steven O'Sullivan is a passionate wine person and in the off-season works on his own vineyard to make a wonderful wine. He enjoys the sunny hills, working until late in the evening when the sun goes down. He even gave away bottles of his own personal wine to team-mates and is sure to bring wine to GMs who are interested in drafting him in this up-coming draft. If you want, you can even come visit the vineyard and he will personally show you around the hill, where grapes grow naturally and are not touched by any poison that other people use. Everything biological on these hills, says O'Sullivan, who is as proud of his natural wine as he is of his performance on the field, also natural and without the use of any steroids. If you do visit, make sure to sit inside the little hall, on wooden benches and enjoy the atmosphere of a true old-school vineyard, while you enjoy one of the many different wines. Steven O'Sullivan hopes that his wines will even be the center of some awards, as they were already nominated this year. He hopes to win some prizes for these amazing wines so that more people get to try this wonderful, amazing thing that he has created.

This offseason, Archibald Booter will have a very new job. Instead of preparing to not prepare for another season of failure, he will instead by sitting on street corners begging. He’d stand, but standing is too much work, and his legs can’t be trusted with that kind of pressure. At this time, it’s unclear what kind of sign he’ll hold up. It’s likely that he doesn’t know, either, given his inability to prepare, but it will likely be something along the lines of how unlucky he is, because that’s all he ever talks about.

Bear in mind the Booter is actually one of the most experienced in the league. Since joining on 25 May, though, he has been the least active active player, earning only 179 TPE over three seasons (bear in mind that 27 of that had to be found by a teammate because Booter was too busy applying for GM jobs to manage his own progression). 42 of that could be from activity checks, another 37 from training camps. In addition, with his 4.5 million in earnings from salary, he could have had another 27 TPE (the number 27 is showing up a lot…kinda creepy) without doing any work. That means that over 3 seasons, this guy has earned 73 TPE that required SOME kind of thought or initiative. I’m sure he’ll have a great post-NSFL career.

Avon Blocksdale spends his offseason doing some work you wouldn't quite expect from an NSFL player; he's the GM of a DSFL team. How is it possible that a current player has time to also be the assistant GM of the San Antonio Marshals? We asked Blocksdale and here was his response. "It's actually super easy being co GM of the team. The competition level in the DSFL is a joke, and only like 3 teams pay any attention anyways. Me and my man Cushing (@kckolbe) of the Legion, I mean Wraiths, run the team together, and our squad has the best point differential despite being run by two active players."

Why did Blocksdale take the job in the DSFL "you gotta strive for greatness, and taking over your own team in your second year in the league? That's special shit."

Blocksdale has been an incredible co-GM of the team, as the Marshals are miracously undefeated since he has taken over (1-0). The team will be traveling to Kansas City to face the Coyotes and Blocksdale will be watching. "Philly and Kansas City are pretty far so I won't be flying to the game, but I'll be watching. Our boys are doing a good job, and I'm excited to see how we do against the scrubs in Kansas, or Missouri I have no idea where that team is, but at least it's a real city unlike Yellowknife."

As do many players in this league, I understand the importance of giving back to the community that has made me so fortunate in the recent past. That’s why, since moving to Chicago to be a part of the Blues organization, I’ve been tutoring kids in the offseason. I excelled in school from elementary on up, and I was lucky that it was fairly easy for me. As a result, I didn’t really develop any good study habits or learning strategies. I just counted on my natural intelligence and ability to pick up new things quickly. When I got to college, though, things got significantly more difficult. I had to start working, and I formed a new appreciation for the rigors of academia, starting from college and extending all the way down through elementary school.

Helping those who aren’t as lucky as I was, either in circumstance or random natural ability, has shown me the diversity of minds and abilities all across the spectrum of human experience. In so many cases, all these kids need is an attitude of self-belief, combined with an adult who treats them respectfully and nurturingly. Kids are thoughtful, capable, and surprising. Helping them in the offseason doesn’t earn me a whole lot of money, but what I gain from it is absolutely invaluable.

When he’s not playing football, the newest recruit to the NSFL, Carlito Crush, has an interesting side job. Crush is actually in charge of a youth camp where he teaches kids multiple things on how to not just use their bodies, but their brains. While he does the obvious and teaches kids how to workout in the gym and lift weights properly, he also does fun things such as teaching them to wrestle. His father was a former world champion and he stops by to show the kids some really cool moves. But once again, the best thing Carlito does is teach the kids the ins and outs of building sandcastles. Growing up on the shores of the Dominican Republic, Carlito found sand castle building to be relaxing, yet it still kept his mind sharp. So he teaches the kids the same things. Also, when he was going to Ohio State, Carlito got a job during the offseasons at Home Depot in the Garden department. He wasn’t able to get paid to play football in college like a lot of players are, so he had to get a part time job to help pay for books. The manager saw his tanned skin, assumed Mexican, and put him in the Garden, figuring everything would work itself out. After a few weeks, Carlito knew the difference between potting soil and garden soil. How to plant grass seed. How much sun mums need. Things like that. I don’t think he’ll have to work side jobs any longer though.

Samuel Zhang is a fantastic wide receiver on the court. He gives it his all on the field, and of course he does the same off the field. This is because he is a PR aka public relations guy off the field. He works as the Outlaws online PR guy on social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. This way, he is able to keep in touch with the Outlaws rabid fan base and banter with other users or other twitter accounts, to keep the popularity of the Outlaws high. Of course, this means Zhang is always on his phone, checking out whats trending and hot, and trying to capitalize on the newest trends, meaning that he is always looking to get any Arizona Outlaws related hashtags and whatnot as popular as he can.

Of course, the Outlaws success has been a huge part of their popularity, but so has Zhang. He has been able to make the Outlaws Twitter the #1 most followed twitter account out of all the NSFL teams, and the Outlaws subreddit leads all NSFL teams in activity, subscribers, and dank memery, which is encouraged by the rules. He also helps around the Outlaws fan sites, but not too often.

Nicholas Pierno

During the summer, Nicholas Pierno spends his time on the water crewing for offshore sailboats. The NSFL paycheck is a comfortable lifestyle, but not quite enough to cover the costs of a yacht. By crewing, he makes a few bucks, does what he enjoys and sees the world. Not to mention, sailing keeps him in tip-top shape. His favorite places to go are Europe, where Lisbon, Portugal became his favorite city to dock at. When the boat docks, Pierno is always eager to try new foods and, of course, party.

“Nobody really knows what the Colorado Yeti is over here, so I don’t have that to my advantage,” Pierno said. “But it’s kind of nice to just be a normal dude again out of the spotlight.

He continued: “Best believe when I’m back in the United States, though, my Twitter will be back up and running and I’ll be ready to shine under the spotlight that comes with being a QB in the NSFL.”

As for football skills, the Yeti management staff made sure to send him with a bag of balls on the trip that he throws across the boat for practice—apparently, the rocking back and forth caused by the waves while practicing has heavily increased Pierno’s footwork.
