12) Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league.
Gronku Muerto is a Tight End prospect entering into the S28 DSFL Draft. He was born and raised in the city of sin, Las Vegas, Nevada, playing his college ball for his hometown UNLV Rebels. His family name is more often associated with Icelandic hockey players than All-American football stars - it turns out his mother was a showgirl at Caesar's Palace Casino during the S34 SHL awards ceremony held at that very venue. It also so happened that SHL GM Riko Muerto was in attendance at that Awards Show, and apparently the hockey legend had a dalliance with a Vegas showgirl that resulted in, some 9 months later, the birth of a baby boy who they named Gronku. Times passes, as it tends to do, and since this was the days before the Golden Knights existed, and hockey was not a big draw in Vegas, he grew up playing football instead. After his college years, he originally had plans to head to Canada to play for the Roughriders in the Canadian Football League, but with Covid shutting down that league, he began to look elsewhere to extend his playing career.
An acquaintance let him know about a unique league which was gaining a strong cult following on the internet, called the ISFL. He heard that his position was one which some of the teams could use, so he declared himself eligible for the pending Draft at the Trade Deadline, one of the early prospects to sign up. Most of these new prospects were added to various team rosters as they needed to have reserves in case of injury, with playoffs pending. Gronku was picked up to play on the practice roster of the Portland Pythons, a team which was looking to ensure themselves a playoff spot. The team went on a roll to finish the regular season strong. While Gronku did not get any playing time, it was an opportunity to see the level of play the league provided. It was much faster and the players were much more talented and stronger. He quickly realized that if he was going to be a contributor, he would have to work even harder.
Despite the fact that the Pythons were eliminated in the playoffs, and Gronku never even got to play a single down, he took the experience to heart and has been diligently working in the off-season. He feels his overall ability has improved greatly, even though there is still a lot of work to be done. He awaits the Draft now, and the prospect bowl is also beckoning. It will be his first real opportunity to showcase his gameday skills in front of scouts and managers. He also hopes to make a good first impression at the various interviews with the scouts.
Currently Muerto is projected to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick, he is not the most skilled player or the most hyped, but he is assured to bring a strong work ethic and an easy-going attitude to whatever team calls his name.
17) Describe the unique food items sold in your team’s home stadium. Write about the most popular items among your team’s fans and players, or create a graphic showing the menu of featured foods in the stadium.
The Portland Pythons really go all out with the snake branding, even when it comes to the food items offered at the concessions. Some of the unique and delightful items available are things like Boa Burgers - fresh ground constrictor meat flame-grilled to your liking and served on a brioche bun! Or you could get the Rattlesnake Sausage in a Bun - like a hot dog but a snake! And what child could go to a game and not get the Python Kebab - juicy morsels of your favorite slithering reptile cubed and slow-roasted on a skewer. Check out the JumboTron to see the delight and terror of small children as they gnaw on this delicious dish! But by far the most popular of all is the SnakeShake! With an assortment of flavors such as gartersnake, cobra, or viper, each of these chilled snake smoothies can be spiced up with just a drop of snake venom ... not enough to kill you but gives you a tingling in the extremities - and you thought ice cream headache was bad! Python Football is a great experience for the foodie looking for a different type of game snack! Also available for take home for those games you just can't make it to the stadium!
30) Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, highlights, or totally fraudulent mail-in ballots. Whatever rookies get up to these days.
There are a number of Tight End prospects coming up in this DSFL Draft. Many teams could use a Tight End, so let's have a look to see what might set them apart for team needs:
Stanley Yelnats : His best trait is 'Hands' at 70, then average Strength, Agility, and Endurance, and below average Blocking
Jack Sparrow : His speed is fantastic with 70, above average Strength, but below average blocking
Buffalo Hunter : Great Speed and good Hands, average Strength and Agility, but his blocking could use some more work
Chevvy Bronco : The highest pre-Draft TPE of all the Tight Ends, he has very good Speed and Hands, and strong Endurance
Gronku Muerto : Above average speed, hands, and strength, slightly improved pass blocking, not the brightest tool in the drawer though
Joey Marston : Definitely clocking in as the fastest of the TE prospects with a Speed rating of 72, he also is slightly improved in blocking than others. His compete level might be the only question mark. My guess is he is the first TE off the board
Beau Novak : Also clocking in with a nice looking speed rating and decent hands, and is better at blocking than some others
All of these Tight End Prospects look to be great active additions to their teams, I'm sure GMs will be looking at what they have been working on in the offseason as well. With TE being a need position for several teams, it will be interesting to see if any take a chance in the 1st round, or hold off knowing they can probably get a decent player at this position in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. My guess is that maybe a couple go in first round if they have impressed GMs so they get the guy they want. I can see Marston, Bronco, and Hunter all being potential first round picks
