7. This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S30 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
I have had a great experience to this point in the league. I joined in May, shortly before the DSFL draft. Now that I am eligible for the ISFL draft, I am finally able to get the full experience and I love it. I think the biggest hole is that there didn’t seem to be a ton of support for brand new users who were not yet on a team. I struggled a lot during that time, and am very glad that I hung on.
Getting into the locker room was great. People were super friendly from the jump. One unique thing about our locker room in Norfolk (not sure if it is the same as others), is we have players who aren’t active on the roster, but were at some point. This adds a great element to everything and I have really enjoyed hearing from them and getting their advice whenever needed.
I am not too satisfied with my current player’s start statistically. I was the third on the depth chart but put up good stats in my opinion for the limited playing time. I hope to have a bigger impact on the field in the next season, and I think I will with some of the changes we will have with some players being called up. I will say, nothing is more exhilarating than scoring your first touchdown, or having a big gain late in a gain. Maybe it wouldn’t have been quite as exciting if my player was an every down player, but those moments really got me excited.
Being drafted was really exciting. I wasn’t sure if I would be drafted since I started so late but was yelled when I saw my draft pick. My wife gave me the worst glare ever at that moment and I think both she and I knew I was hooked.
Overall, I don’t have many comments or suggestions. I have really enjoyed my time here and have enjoyed learning about all the different layers that there are. I am getting more and more into media as I know see its importance so I am excited to see where that takes me in the future. I do think that one suggestion I would make would be to have a league job that pays for rookie mentors. I don’t know much about how league jobs work, but I think it would help with the growth of the league and help keep new users active. The rookie thread in itself is helpful but the threads can be super confusing so I think this would be a great position to have.

10. Write a short biography or story about your player.
Sal Ami is from a small town name Scranton in Pennsylvania. His parents are huge fans of mine meats, so when they found out that they were expecting a new baby, they knew they had to come up with something clever. With their last name being Ami, there was one name that stood above the rest. That is how Sal Ami was named. As a child, Sal dreamed of being a competitive eater or a professional athlete. His size and physical gifts from a young age made him the perfect football prospect. He was offered his first college scholarship at the age of 12.
Fast forward to present times, he recently finished his rookie season in the Developmental Simulation Football League. Drafted by the Norfolk Seawolves, Sal had a unique position as a rookie. He was drafted behind a number one pick at tight end and also one of the best returning players on the team who happened to also be a tight end. Sal knew early on this year that his true impact on the field would have to wait until his sophomore campaign.
Although playing time for Sal wasn’t consistent throughout the year, Sal did make an impact in his limited reps. He scored 3 touchdowns on the year, and had a few plays where a defender luckily tackled him inside the 5 yard line. Sal’s highlight real play for the year was a 66 yard catch and run.
Outside of the field, Sal has spent a lot of time off the field loving the local cuisine in Virginia. As mentioned at the beginning of this story, Sal’s parents were fans of fine meats, and Sal is a chip off the old block. Sal has become a local legend for his ability to eat. He has frequently shut down all you can eat buffets. Sal looks at those as challenges. Sal has considered inventing his own YELP style app for phones where he ranks the different food options at different buffets that he tries on his travels across the country. He hopes this can be an investment he lives off of in retirement.
In closing, Sal was more of a menace to buffet managers than to defensive coordinators his rookie year. With a year of experience under his belt, and the playbook in the process of being mastered, Sal is excited to see what kind of impact he can make in year 2.
