(S24) - PT 4 - Trial by Fire

[slothfacekilla]

The start of Ben Slothlisberger's football journey is largely unknown to the general public, as the young quaterback randomly appeared on the scene in college at Central Michigan after trying out for them.  Hailing from the moon, Slothlisberger's past is very mysterious, but his journey through the DSFL to the ISFL is widely known after he was selected by the New Orleans Second Line in the second round of the ISFL draft.  Slothlisberger had an unremarkable personal career in the DSFL in Tijuana, but he did manage to snag an Ultimini ring in his second season with the Luchadores.  After many seasons in the developmental league, this season was finally the time for Ben to join the Second Line.

Luckily for Slothlisberger his first three regular season games were wins for him and New Orleans.  His first "welcome to the league" moment happened in week 4 when New Orleans lost on the road in Austin 31-7.  Slothlisberger did not throw an interception, but he managed to only complete 50% of his passes in a very inefficient day which ended up stalling out the New Orleans' offense multiple times.  This first loss was big in Slothlisberger's growth as a player, and he realized that he was not going to win every game that he played in.  He's managed to rebound fairly well from this despite a few other losses, and he's putting together a solid rookie campaign.  We'll see how the rest of his career works out.
