Task 10: Will "Brick Wall" Smyth. If you don't know him, you will soon. From dropping to the third round in the Season 28 DSFL draft to moving up to 10th overall pick in the Season 29 ISFL Draft, he's coming in and he's coming in hot. Look out ISFL, here comes the Brick Wall! But what a lot of people don't realize or know about is how Smyth became the up-and-coming Defensive Tackle he is. He was homeless, spent his life shuffling between halfway house and the streets. It became a never ending cycle, his parents were drug addicts from a young age, and Will was heading down the same path. Then, he went into another halfway house, this one called Sister Mary's Halfway House for Disenfranchised Peoples, where met a young man who retired from the ISFL due to a career-ending injury, Alexander "The Flash" Johnson. He didn't know just what Flash saw in him, but he saw something in Will. They formed an unlikely friendship, with The Flash telling Smyth to gain some more experience and then declare for the Draft. It took some convincing, but Smyth eventually relocated to his hometown of Portland, OR and attended Ronald Reagan High School where he played for the Regan Rockets for his entire high school career, starting out as QB 2, but then eventually finding his calling at DT. After his high school days were done, he went to University of Oregon on a full-ride scholarship, and played for the Oregon Ducks. He found out quite quickly that playing here as opposed to high school was completely different. He definitely struggled, to the point where he was almost benched. In one game, when the Ducks were down 23-15 against their interstate rival the Beavers, he looked into the stands and saw his old friend, Alexander "The Flash" Johnson. He mouthed one word, but Smyth understood it perfectly- believe. It wasn't that he wasn't good, it's that he didn't believe in himself. Oregon then rallied to the win the game in overtime, 34-28. It was then that he knew he had to declare for the DSFL Draft. And the rest, as they say, is history. But there is one chapter that has yet to be written - the chapter of Smyth's time in the ISFL. With a nomination for Defensive Tackle of the Year already under his belt, he will only rise higher and higher.

Task 22: Hoo boy, Smyth? In charge of Ultimini entertainment? Prepare for one of the wackiest, zaniest, most outrageous halftime shows ever. It'll be quite the spectacle. So, first Smyth would make London-themed food, since you know, it would be a nice way to rub in the fact that London didn't make the Ultiimini and that he is from London, so it would be a nice send up. So at the concessions stand, attendees would be fed fish and chips, bangers and mashed, tea, crumpets, the whole nine yards. Then, during halftime itself, Royal Guards would come out to play God Save the Queen, and then there would be songs from Queen, the Beatles, and Lady Gaga (because she makes any halftime show fun). Finally, towards the end of the halftime show, then they'd have Luchadores and ducks come out to perform on the field, and then each team would come back out onto the field, and play the game, with Minnesota eventually shutting out Tijuana 40-0. It's the perfect, evil, plot to really drive home the point that London will return and that we are not so easily cowed. Time for us to come back again and win it next season.

Task 25: If my current position were not available when I had created, I would have gone for Quarterback. Why? The answer is simple. I like having the weight of the team's hopes and dreams on my back. It gives me drive and motivation. A lot of players not just in the NFL or NBA, but also the MLB have this weight on them, and it drives them to do better, to play better, to train harder, and work for their goals. Every successful pitcher in the MLB has felt this weight. Sandy Koufax, Cy Young, Dennis Eckersley, all of them have thrived off of this weight. It would be the same for me as a quarterback. I would need to stay active to maintain my spot on the roster. I would need to update well to have the success I need to thrive. I would need to work ten times as hard to prove to teams looking to draft me *why* they should draft me. I would need to show a level of commitment that is uncommon to other positions. And I would need to learn to trust my instincts. I would be *the* QB1, and as such, I would need to show dedication. And if I were to be Quarterback, I definitely would.
