9. So I've just been named commissioner of the ISFL and with my newfound and limitless power I can make any changes I deem fit? Well my first order of business is to eliminate this random lottery drawing for "commissioner for a day" powers, and not in a Julius Caesar "the hoards are at the gates make me your leader indefinitely" type way, more of the "this is a horrible idea, so so so SO many things can go wrong here" way. Realistically the chances that someone can pop in for a day and make good decisions is incredibly low so that's going to be a no no from now on. But on to my next phase of business as the best sim league's new leader, redistribution of power. Now what does that mean as it sounds downright league flipping? There have been numerous articles about the wealth disparity and how it can relate to jobs, media, and casino earnings, and as commissioner I have neither the time nor intelligence to read these types of things, so instead I will instate a rule that no user can hold more than one job without express written consent from the commissioner (sorry to the sucker taking back over after I leave my 24 hour stint in the office) and a firm three season limit on any non-GM position. This time limitation will increase league job turnover without artificially creating new jobs that don't actually provide any new or beneficial work. Inequality solved, you're welcome. My next and final order of business is to address the fantasy football issue. What's the fantasy football issue you ask? Well I've never done better than 4th in any of my attempts at fantasy football in the league, regardless of following Frost's guide, using last seasons points, or total TPE to judge the players worth taking, I always get my butt kicked and that shame needs to end. Therefor I will get my own group in which I can select the players I want first, but only after having some peon run like 100ish seasons in the sim and writing up a scouting report for each player using their average season points across all the simulated seasons. Also the report will include how cute they are and what their favorite pancake flavor is, you know the important stuff when it comes to fantasy football. After I've made my selections I will then make five more teams in the same group and select players the same way, allowing me to ensure, if even by some fluke my indignant tampering didn't work out, I would still come in first in my group. And with that I drop my proverbial commissioner mic and leave, showing all the reasons why I made rule number 1 to not let this sort of madness happen again
14. I am unfortunately writing this portion of the post after Monday's playoff games have concluded, resulting in the undesired defeat of the Colorado Yeti by the Sarasota Sailfish. I know "sims gunna sim" is a topic for another item, but man was that game brutal for the Yeti faithful, but at least I have a definitive conclusion to the season to comment on now. I'll start with my player first though, who I actually think had a pretty good year, leading all rookies in receiving yards (12th overall in the league) with 1404 yards, second in receptions for rookies (10th overall in the leadue) with 101 catches, and second in rookies in yards per catch at 13.9 yards per reception, only trailing Austin WR (and former Dallas Birddog teammate) Bayley Cowabunga. These overall impressive season stats match the highlight part of the season during weeks 8 and 9, where Cole reeled in a total of 16 catches for 303 yards (18.9 yards per catch) and 2 touchdowns in winning efforts. During that two game stretch Cole set his individual single game records for yards (156) and touchdowns (2) during the week 8 matchup against the Austin Copperheads and catches (9) and longest reception (62 yards) in the week 9 game against the Arizona Outlaws. These two weeks were not without downside though, as nearly a quarter of Cole's drops this season came in those two games (4). Thankfully they both resulted in wins so there's no need for "what ifs" regarding the passes that got away. Speaking of drops, the lowlight of Cole's individual season was certainly his 17 drops over the year and something that will need to be worked on over the offseason to improve for next year. The expectation for next year is to take a big step up and try to add some extra big play ability and hopefully make a larger impact in the touchdown department for the team.
The Yeti season as a whole was very good, resulting in a 12-4 record and a second seed in the playoffs. The highlights of the year have to be the 7 game win streak over weeks 6-12 and reaching the playoffs again, as a highly rated second seed in the NFC. Unfortunately the sim had other plans than a Yeti Ultimus victory, as the playoff game against the 3 seed Sarasota Sailfish resulted in a 33-13 loss for the Yeti. Aside from not only having no rhythm on the offensive side despite being the fourth highest scoring team of the year, the top scoring Sarasota offense was able to run all over the Yeti defensively, both burning clock and keeping the points up on the board.
