(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[Ace]

CJ Sonjack faced a serious dilemma when he was a young man with the world in front of him. His uncle owned a line of luxury carwashes. The Supreme wash would do everything you would want to have done during a car wash. Full body waxing, a thorough wash on the ol' undercarriage, you know what I am talking about. He owned 47 carwashes throughout the state of Florida. We're talkin bikini babes in Miami, geriatric rich white folk from Ohio in the Palm Harbor area, and drug dealers from Tampa. The finest folk. Most importantly, the finest folks with nice whips and fat wallets. CJ's uncle proposed bringing the young man into the family business and naming him Regional Manager of the Tampa area car washes. It was intriguing - an annual salary of $40,000! 

CJ talked to his parents about this opportunity, and they said it may sound like a lot of money, but they wanted CJ to pursue his education at the University of Maryland and see how far he could go in the world of football. If he went the other direction, who knows, he may have been the guy running your local car-wash. It's funny how things work out sometimes.

Well Charlemagne Cortez ended up in the ISFL because he was told by an NFL scout that he'd never make it in that league. He was bound and determined to prove that he very well could be a professional quarterback after multiple record setting seasons as the quarterback of the Cornell Big Red football team. However, it's not as if he never had a backup plan. His parents raised him to always have a contingency, and so he always had a secondary agenda while pursuing his career as a football player. He had originally been pursuing a double major degree in engineering and architecture while at Cornell and he decided to work extra hard to earn his degree before heading into the DSFL draft. In this way, even should his athletic career fail, he would always have a great career to fall back on. The entire time he has been playing for the London Royals and the Arizona Outlaws, he has kept up his licenses and worked on continuing education during the offseasons. After his Cortez throws his last pass in the ISFL, he's more than ready to tackle his next great challenge: being one of the greatest building designers to have ever lived. With the tenacity he's shown during his career, there is little doubt he will accomplish that goal.

Drip Dad was always destined for football. This is known by his family, where most of the earliest photos of him are around footballs. From the earliest chance he got, he was always carving up defenses with his unique ability to run and catch the ball out of the backfield. But there was another love that Drip always held, and that was, of course, synchronized swimming. Now, mens artistic swimming isn't big anywhere outside of the apartment building that Drip grew up in, but he loved it. Not only did he love it, but he was so good at it, that he went viral on youtube as a 10 year old. He was praised for achieving the "molecular Gastronomy", a mens artistic swimming trick that was passed down to him by his grandfather. Later in life, Drip would find out that Drip Grandad was the founder of mens artistic swimming in that very same apartment pool that Drip spent years swimming in.  After that video, Drip made his appearances on the media circuit, but while he was talking to Conan, Drip realized that he hadn't stepped foot on a football field in 2 years. He missed football too much, and at that moment devoted his life to the pursuit of an ultimus.

Evan Jones had a long path to the ISFL, but he always has a backup plan in case things go wrong. His backup plan if he did not make it was to become a fighter pilot in the Air Force. From a young age, Evan had a love for airplanes like many kids did. However, he was lucky to be able to take it further than a lot of other kids could. One of his uncles was a professional pilot trainer, and he got to spend a ton of time in the air because of it. Evan got behind the wheel of a plane for the first time when he was 15, and was hooked right away. He spent as much time as he could in the air, and was able to grab him pilots license at age 18. He had considered going to the Air Force academy and playing football there, and even had a nice couple of chats with the recruiters there. But once he got the idea that he could play in the ISFL, he decided to stay home and play college ball at Ohio State and pursue a career in football. But he still had this plan in his back pocket in case things did not go well.

Woody likely has the most dramatic potential change of any football player if he chose not to pursue football after Andy went to college. After all, he became the first publicly sentient toy and showed the world that toys were, in fact alive. If he hadn’t made that decision, toys everywhere would continue to simply be play things in the eyes of people, rather than the living beings that they are. Toys do, of course, want to be played with, so it’s not as if children stopped playing with toys, although generally speaking they have become more gentle with them. And they also don’t tear toys apart and put them together in different ways like Sid did. Overall it seems like a lot of conflict from Andy’s past could’ve been solved had he made this news public and pursued his lifelong dream of becoming a football player sooner. However, we can’t change the past. And it has created somewhat a rift across the world given people are now petrified of inanimate objects. And, parents seem to be less inclined to give toys to their children which is bad for toys everywhere. But hey, Woody has been having a pretty solid season and is looking at a potential great career ahead of him, and surely that’s worth it.

Well this is an easy question. If Travis Scott was not a football player for the Bondi Beach Buccaneers and Austin Copperheads? He would obviously be a rapper, and create rap music for the masses to enjoy. Scott was a rapper before his football career, but had to quit in order to pursue football. If he had made the decision to quit football to pursue music, he would have been a star and gotten himself a very large following around his incredible music that everyone would love because he is a good rapper. Scott had a decent sized following on soundcloud in high school, and looking back he sometimes thinks about where his life would be had he pursued it. Scott knew that despite his limited resources he was something special in the rap space. Unfortunately, he was told just before his freshman season if college that he wasnt allowed to focus on both and he had to make a decision on what he loved more, football or rapping. He chose football since ultimately the music business is very difficult, and while professional sports is also obviously difficult, he felt he had the best chance to make it in the ISFL, and after some very hard thinking, made the decision to put rapping on the shelf, at least for now.

John Huntsman has a wonderful story that eventually led him to entering the draft for 28th season of the International Simulation Football League. Huntsman’s parents met during their early twenties at their place of work. Darrow (The Huntsman) Huntsman and Kay Huntsman were the most dominate professional wrestling male-female duo. They had 3 kids (Gene, John, and Addie) and a dog. All 5 members and the dog have either experienced the professional wrestling scene whether it was participating or getting in the ring in special occasions.

John Huntsman played football and wrestled in high school. He led his football team to a sectional championship. Huntsman was big and the coach was a d-bag so he only let John play offensive line and defensive line. He enjoyed his wrestling career more and appeared in back-to-back state wrestling championships and winning his senior year.

Because of his high school experience, Huntsman went to Black and Brave Wrestling Academy for school and thought he was going to follow in his family’s footsteps and become a professional wrestler. John was at the academy for 3 years and before signing a contract with Impact wrestling, he decided to give Football another try and put his name into the International Simulation Football Draft. The rest is history.

A lot of people have to devote blood, sweat, and tears just to get a look at a league like the ISFL. I can say without a doubt that it did not cost me 2/3 of those things to get my shot. You see, my dad is a Hall of Fame QB in the ISFL. So basically all I had to do was stay out of jail and not get anyone pregnant until I got to college. I accomplished this goal, played barely any college football, and there I was ready for the big stage of the ISFL. Now some people might hear my story and say “wow, this guy had his opportunity for success just handed to him” and I would tell them that they forgot what else was handed to me, and that was an Ultimus Trophy when me and my fellow Fish ran train on the entire league and won it all. I hope we can do that again in the future, because if I somehow have to fall back on another career once football is said and done, I might be in some trouble. I think at that point there would only be so many people that I could sell CBD to that actually believe me, so I don’t want to think about things I could be doing besides playing the greatest game in the world.

Skiuuup had no choice. He would either make it, or his family would still be struggling to make ends meet. He know nothing other than football. And fighting. He would fight a lot as a kid, sometimes to fight off the rich kids to steal some food to bring back home. But football was what he breathed. Everything faded when he was on the field, and that alone was all he wanted to know regarding his future. Every time he would set foot on the field, he knew he was in his element. And he always knew he would make it to the big show and help his family out of poverty. He did not make a decision, per se. He just knew. And he went after it. But if he was not a football player, he would be a coach. His major was on coaching, and his minor was on physical education. Matter of fact, he has completed all necessary classes to be considered a licenced American Football coach. So you would more than likely see him in a high school as a coach, trying to inspire the young kids to achieve their dream of taking a pro football team snap, all the way to a Hall of Fame career.
