(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[Pythonic]

Anthony MacGuire was always a huge football kid growing up, so there was really no plan to not make it in the big leagues - of course, there was, and still is, the possibility of not making the DSFL (and by extension the NSFL), so his backup plan was what he went to college for - a degree in economics, with the actual backup job being something related to that, like a financial analyst or something along those lines. A boring day job compared to the high intensity action of being a great star player in an even greater football league, sure, but at least you won't get irreparable brain damage from it. Well, it might fry your brain just a little bit, simply because looking at charts and projections all day can't be good for your mental health. Thankfully, Anthony did end up making it to the DSFL, because his grades weren't exactly the best - passable, sure, but nothing that would help him make the dean's list or anything else truly prestigious, that is, academically prestigious. It was really football or nothing for Anthony, he could hardly stand sitting in a lecture hall for an hour, imagine sitting at a desk from 9-5 every single day for the rest of his life? Torture.
