18. I have been a part of 3 different sim leagues in my time as a sim league. I started with the Pro Baseball Experience where I started with my first ever sim league player, Alain Johns. There are a lot of things to like about the league. Especially when it comes to organization. There are a lot of things that have to be micromanaged in such an intricate sim league and all of it is handled very well. I was involved for a while with league management, and I eventually went all the way up to PBE Head Office. Unfortunately it didn’t go very well and soured my experience in the league after a while. I eventually quit and just stuck with my menial banking job which I still hold to this day. A couple weeks into my foray of sim leagues, I encountered the NSFL (now called ISFL), the football equivalent of the PBE. It had a lot of similarities but a few subtle differences. I created Franklin Armstrong, and he had almost a perfect sim league career. One of the best ISFL players of all time and named to the 25th Anniversary All-Time team.
I’ve also joined the SHL and tried it out 2 times with 2 different players. Terrible league.
20. Big Slammu has always been someone who could play multiple positions on the football field. He prefers defense because of one simple reason; he can slam people into the ground at full speed. He usually plays linebacker, one of the most athletic positions on the field. He can drop back into coverage, play tough against the run, blitz the quarterback, or even play at the outside linebacker position. He has 4.2 speed, in a 260 pound, 6’5 frame. He is simply a freak and you can use that kind of athleticism all over the field. One of those positions is at defensive end or defensive tackle. He struggled a bit at the defensive tackle position, namely because he’s not as heavy as he should be for the position and he was also a rookie with not a lot of experience. Another good position outside of d-line is actually at the tight end position. With his size, speed and strength he is a major mismatch for linebackers, but big enough to handle blocking defensive ends and blitzing linebackers. While Slammu can play multiple positions, it’s obvious that linebacker is his preferred position and that is probably where he will make his career in the ISFL. It remains to be seen if Big Slammu is a hall of fame talent.
21. I have had the pleasure to play for two teams in my time in the ISFL. The ISFL is blessed with some really good branding but I’m confident in the fact that the Orange County Otters, and the Yellowknife Wraiths have some really good ones. The Otters have the orange, brown and white. It looks very good on the field, and we all know if you look good you play good. The Wraiths have a myriad of color and jersey combinations and have probably the sleekest look in the league. There are other great brandings around the league, like the Colorado Yeti, New Orleans Secondline, and San Jose Sabercats. These are classic logos and brandings that have stayed consistent over the years. And they are pretty stylish and will need minimal changes in the future. I’m also partial to the original Portland Pythons logo and colors when I was in the DSFL with Franklin Armstrong. I’m not a huge fan of the logo and color changes post my playing career with Franklin Armstrong, so unfortunately they’re no longer up there when it comes to the best branding in the DSFL.
But my absolute favorite has to be the Austin Copperheads. The color scheme, the jersey’s, the best logo I’ve ever seen in a sim league.
25. This is an interesting question because Big Slammu had the dream that every rookie dreams of when they are going into the league. Of course, this is fulfilling the goal of an Ultimus Bowl championship in their very first season in the ISFL. The Wraiths blew out the challengers, the New Orleans Secondline in the Ultimus Bowl. This is the latest championship for the Wraiths. After a series of failures in the Ultimus Bowl, 4 straight in fact, the Wraiths have now managed to win 3 since S20. The most in the ISFL since in that span. In this latest championship, the Wraiths had a country wide Trophy tour, as they stopped in the capital city of every single Canadian Province and Territory. In a lot of ways, the Yellowknife Wraiths represent all of Canada and not just the North West Territories. The Wraiths were well received all over the country as they realized the true extent of their fandom was worldwide. While many suspected Big Slammu was going to be the one leading the parties, he had an unexpectedly subdued celebration. This might be due to the fact that the young rookie at times disappeared at the line of scrimmage and didn’t have the impact he is used to having. He seemed hungry and unsatisfied, eager to get back on the field for another go at the Ultimus Bowl.
