7) Selflessness is one thing, but ultimately everyone wants to hear their own player’s name mentioned among the greats. Take some time, in 400 words or more, and discuss how your player’s (or past player’s) career is going so far. Are you matching any expectations you set out for yourself? Do you see yourself on a potentially award winning or Hall of Fame career trajectory? If your player is just starting out, what goals and visions do you have for yourself?
Acura Skyline is working hard and putting in work. After a borderline historic first season in the Development Simulation Football League, where Acura Skyline certainly enshrined himself in the London Royals hall of fame at a minimum after leading the league in both rushing yards and return yard and winning offensive rookie of the year, offensive player of the year, and running back of the year, Skyline had a tremendous rookie season with the Yellowknife Wraiths that is certain to turn some heads when awards season rolls into town. Skyline may not have led all rookie running backs in yards, but he led the class in yards per carry and led all running backs in rushing touchdowns. Acura Skyline had a rude awakening when he arrived in Yellowknife for his National Simulation Football League debut. Running as the RB2 to a dominant and well respected veteran Mathias Hanyadi, Skyline struggled to find his role in an offense that asked him to move around and touch the ball much less than he was accustomed to. Lots of fumbles, drops, and frustration marked the first half of Skyline’s rookie season, but he never lost hope and kept putting in the work with teammates and coaches to figure out how to be in the best position to help the team win games. Acura Skyline may have started the season slowly, but he built up steam and had almost two hundred yards from scrimmage along with four touchdowns in the penultimate game of the season. Acura Skyline was looking forwards to continuing to bring the heat in his first ever postseason run (he missed the playoffs in his lone season with the London Royals), but unfortunately the Colorado Yetis had a different plan. In a one point stunner, Colorado beat the Wraiths at home, and Acura Skyline failed to live up to his expectations and make a difference. Maybe it was rust from the relaxed bye week, maybe it was a lack of post season experience, or maybe it was just plain not being good enough. Either way, Acura Skyline is motivated. He plans to go into the offseason and devote his whole summer to getting better. Acura Skyline wants to be one of the greats, and to get there he plans to bring his trainer and a few training partners to a house he rented in rural Arkansas that has no internet and no television. He wants to be in an environment where there are no distractions, and all there is to do is work on his game. Wake up, eat breakfast, hit the gym, have lunch, do some skill training, take a nap, work on conditioning, sleep, and repeat. While most might view it as a grueling and no-fun way to spend a hard earned vacation, Skyline has bigger aspirations on his mind. Next year, when he finds himself lined up in a do or die playoff elimination game, he knows that he will live up to the expectations. And he knows he will end up as one of the greats.

8) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S22 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
This league is so much fun. I’m not even giving lip service, it is a total blast. I have never participated in any type of simulation sports league, and was pretty skeptical when I first heard about something that was “half Madden career mode and half Dungeons and Dragons”, but figured that with a quiet last semester of law school and a disease all over the world that basically shut going outside down it was worth giving a shot. It took me a while to get a feel for the forum and I’m still unable to navigate the main NSFL discord (too much content too fast), but seeing my weird little hockey puck with the number 17 written on it dance around defenders and blast into the endzone three times a week was weirdly thrilling. It feels like the work you do in the league to get TPE and build up your player really pays off, and there’s a true sense of achievement when it pays off on the field. Now, maybe if Acura Skyline did not perform as well as he has I would not be so into it (killed it in the DSFL and made the pro bowl in my first NSFL season), but I do not think that is the case. I have been pretty involved in the locker rooms and enjoyed shooting the breeze, and have taken on a handful of jobs that I have really enjoyed. HO Intern was a super fun experience, because I got the chance to get some insight into how the league is run that I can use in the future in other roles. I also really liked Data Mining for Bigred and the events team, because it let me really see how a lot of players who normally I did not check out in the index were performing. Finally, I am in a new role that I think is a really good fit for me: Banking Head. Bwestfield did a great job with it, and I want to continue keeping that energy and giving back to this league in a way that makes it as fun for other people as it has been for me. I do not know what the future looks like, but I really enjoy being a Yellowknife Wraith (did a lot of googling about Yellowknife, there are some interesting facts about it, you can check out twitter where I have posted some), and really enjoyed having such a winning season, but am looking forward to future post season runs and a real trip to the Ultimus. Right now, championship is the goal. I want to see an edited photo of Adam Sandler on the homepage banner. I do not really have any issues with the league, other than my previously mentioned issues with the general NSFL discord. It might be nicer to change the name (I frequently get unwanted search results if I just type NSFL into the web search bar, and imagine it limits other people’s ability to find the site) or start utilizing a new web site format (the forums are organized, but can make it very difficult to find things). But I do not have a lot of complaints, I’m just having fun!
