16) The bank now accepts ISFL currency in exchange for real money – every ISFL dollar counts as $0.50 in the real world. How much money would you exchange, and what would you spend it on?
If the ISFL money had a real-world exchange at fifty cents on the dollar I would only exchange about one million in ISFL money. I would not be greedy and would just exchange enough to buy a nice house. I would also do this because I have to leave some seed money for my player to continue his career. I understand I could always earn more but it is nice to have a banK. The one thing I keep thinking about when answering this though is if the exchange rate goes back the other way? Does fifty cents of real-world money equate to one dollar of ISFL money? If it does that is a real game-changer. That would mean someone could conceivably fund their ISFL career using real-world cash and essentially create a super player. In my world, that would definitely lead to me being the best tight end in league history. That is a goal I have regardless but that ability would make it easier. Regardless I would not ever cash out my whole ISFL bank and that probably makes me a sucker. I just view it like the money is for my player and his career not for me to pilfer via a second rate exchange rate system.
19) Your player or team made big headlines in the news this week. What did they do, and why did it garner so much attention?
The big headline this week was my player Chevvy Bronko. He appeared once again in a pro wrestling ring for the largest company in the world. This appearance alone would have been news but he got involved in a match and body-slammed the world champion. This garnered mostly positive attention and praise for furthering the link between entertainment and sports. On the opposite spectrum, however, it did also spark a discussion amongst football purest as to whether or not a contracted player should be allowed to appear in a physical capacity outside of the sport. The chief concern being injury. The thought process is that players already risk massive injury playing the sport and do not need added risk. Bronko himself has shrugged off the criticism and explained that he has the approval of the players union and league office. He is currently not on a team and will be selected in the upcoming DSFL draft. It has been reported previously that Bronko has signed a huge deal with the wrestling company to make appearances throughout the off-season and the deal reportedly guarantees him at least two years once his playing days are done. This is a groundbreaking deal that could lead to other players following this path in the future.
29) Awards season is upon us. If you could create an award for anything in the league that doesn’t already exist, what would it be? Who do you think should get it?
I would create a fun award that had nothing to do with football. I would create the chili dog challenge award. This award would have a three-prong structure with a player needing to take two out of three prongs to win the award. The first prong would be a chili cook-off contest. The inner being the player who makes the best chili per a panel of judges. The second prong would a hotdog eating contest. The winner is the player that eats the most hotdogs in ten minutes. The final prong would be the bench press. The player who can bench press the most weight for the most reps after cooking chili and eating hotdogs wins this prong. The winner would be my player Chevvy Bronko. Why do I feel my player would be the winner you ask? well considering this is a totally fake award, that I made up, that consists of things I would imagine Chevvy Bronko to be great at, and lastly because I will not be winning any other awards this just makes sense. I would just go ahead and actually name this award now the Chevvy Bronko chili dog challenge award. I mean there is no one in the league that can combine these three skills as Bronko can.
