It was a frigid and pitch black night in Yellowknife. Quaid’s doorbell rang, out of the darkness a UPS driver emerged and placed a box at Quaid's feet. The drive said “be careful” and disappeared into the night. Quaid was creeped out but curious. He brought the package inside and cut it open. Inside was a laptop. He unfolded it and hit play. Appearing was a message from Quaid himself, or somebody who looked identical to him at least. The message explained this was going to come as a big surprise, “You are not you, you are me.” The message explained that he wasn’t who he thinks he is. Quaid was apparently a secret agent on Mars that was a victim of a memory cleansing. The video message went on to explain that Quaid did the dirty work for the ruthless government on Mars. The message stated that it was up to Quaid to find out the truth and to do one thing: start the reactor. Was this message a delusional episode by the always unhinged Quaid, or was he really part of an interplanetary conspiracy? Quaid has to figure this out while keeping it quiet, if this gets out to the media it is something that could derail his ISFL career and then get thrown into the insane asylum. (220 words)

''Head of a cow!?''

Man was heard screaming early in the morning somewhere in Yellowknife. Blago Kokot had just opened a package that someone delivered behind his door. Inside the package was a piece of paper that said ''head of a cow''. As a man who lives in the moment, Kokot was surprised and scared, could it really be the head of a cow inside the package? Luckily it was not, the package was a prank of some sorts. Perhaps the price you pay when playing for the Yellowknife Wraiths, you might get spooked and scared more often.

Inside the package, Kokot found a pair of leather gloves. Made from Saskatchewan beaver. Who sent the package was not mentioned, but there was another note attached to the gloves: ''You are nice, here are custom made leather gloves that will hopefully help when you are kicking the ball, go Wraiths!''.

A rather odd gift, but also a heartwarming one as Kokot has by the looks of it captured the heart of a secret admirer. Kokot posted a picture of himself wearing the gloves, he mentioned that he is going to wear the gloves after the holidays are over as he plans on wearing the gloves as much as possible during the holidays to break them in.

The doorbell rings at David Rector's house and when he goes to open the door know one is there, but a large wrapped gift is sitting at his doorstep. There's no information about who the gift is from, but it is addressed to him. Not being a patient person, David takes the package inside and immediately opens it. He is delighted to find not one, not two, not even three, but four Awards trophies for his performance on the field this season. First he pulls out the Defensive Performance of the Year trophy for his great game against Austin where he scored a pick six and a punt return TD. The next trophy he pulled out was for Cornerback of the Year, an award he was immensely proud of earning after many seasons of dedication to his craft of cornerback. The next trophy he found in the box was for Defensive Player of the Year, something he never thought would ever happen to him. Even when he was the top TPE cornerback in the league did he not have this good of a season. And of course the last trophy in the box was none other than the MVP award. He couldn't believe that he had such an incredible season that he would even be nominated for this award let alone win it. Seeing as the season isn't over yet there is still time for someone else to have a few stellar games and overtake David in all of these awards, but I do think he is a front runner for some of them at this time.

Clark Boyd awoke to find that someone had left a package outside his Mitte apartment door. Despite the lack of a tag or card, it was not hard to figure out who had sent this gift. In the box was a new pair of receiver gloves, a squeeze grip trainer, a reverse grip trainer, and a pair of catch-touch trainers. It was pretty obvious that these were sent by none other than Nick Kaepercolin, quarterback for the Berlin Fire Salamanders. It was no secret that Clark was underperforming in Berlin. Despite having the best hands on the team, the tight end was struggling to make catches in big moments. Clark felt like he was dropping more catches per game than he was making. But in practice, this was far from the truth. In fact, Clark didn't drop a single pass during training camp coming into the season. His hands were more or less as good as they were ever going to get. And in an effort to make him laugh, Nick sent this box of both meaningful and useless gear. Clark didn't like to wear gloves in practice, as he believed that catching bare-handed would train his touch. On top of that, he had long surpassed the need to use any grip trainers or even touch trainers. He hadn't touched them since high school. But being sent these reminders certainly made him laugh. And a laugh is exactly what Clark needed. Going into the end of the season, he needed to hold his head high if he wanted to help his team get to the playoffs.

Bob Roberts does not celebrate Christmas, or any other holiday in december so he was surprised when he found a package at his door when he came home from practice, New York is on a stretch of home games after spending weeks away on the road, so Bob had no idea what to expect when he opened his gift and found a rock. This confused Roberts as he had no idea why this was on his doorstep. On this rock there was a small note. Roberts had to grab his reading glasses to read the tiny tiny writing. On the note that had an oder of fish read "Frost Rox Lmap" signed from Frolf from Sarasota. Roberts puked for 30 minutes as he failed to understand why someone would send something so horrible to someone during the holidays. He called his good friend Richard Leaking who lives in Orange County and he told him. "Dont worry the season may change but one thing remains the same....." He pauses and takes a deep breath as if he was about to say the most important words of both of their young careers "Frost Sux Lmap."  With this note Roberts took a deep breath and smiled. Frost really does suck doesnt he. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL MY ISFL FRIENDS EXCEPT FROST CAUSE FROST SUX

Raylan Crowder has been busy since winning his first championship with the San Jose Sabercats. His wife gave birth later on in the year and he has had to adapt to living the dad life. The sleepless nights have caught up to him this season and his stats have taken a serious hit. He still regularly complains in the group chat he shares with fellow birddog alumni and players.
He came back from training following his best performance of the year and found a package on his doorstep. Wrapped up in custom Finn and Murphy wrapping paper was a medium sized box. This could only be from a number of people.
Opening the card Crowder read aloud "Dear Raylan, shut the fuck up about your lack of sleep and have a merry Christmas. Lots of love @zaynzk @ReverendOReily@r0tzbua@Kyle@Kyamprac@enigmatic@gucci @ZootTX @Amidships @yonggarius& @OrbitingDeath (and all the newer birddogs) 

Crowder had a good laugh to himself and opened up the package. Inside he found a white noise machine labeled "for the baby", a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones labelled "for your wife to drown out your excessive whining" and a top of the range laptop labelled "for you, so you stop doing everything on that bloody phone".

But seriously - thanks guys for keeping me company on those long nights of tending to a screaming baby. Hope you all have a fantastic holiday (except you @Gumbaman I blame you for a full night of sleeplessness)!
