13. Expansion Expansion Expansion! Tell us why you think the league should expand / not expand or include any ideas (in words) for team branding ideas you have or team locations.

Well, first off the league should be expanding because I should be a general manager. Not because of my amazing interest in the league or because I think I could be a great general manager here. But purely just because my team is so incredible that it deserves a true Swiftie at the leadership of said team. You may be asking what a Swiftie is? Well, a Swiftie is the name for the Taylor Swift fandom. Well Pau, how is this relevant to your team or the International Football Sim League? Well, I am getting to it! The reason this is all relevant is because the branding I would choose for my expansion team is the Taylor Swfties! The team came up to me on a whim as a shitpost but something I would love to bring forward some day as long as Pro Baseball Experience does not hit me with a cease and desist. The Taylor Swifties would originate from Taylor, PA and well Swifties are obviously because of the singer and also named after my International Simulation Football Sim League Player Tay Swizzle! I put a lot more thought into this than I should have so here are my very dumb branding ideas. First off is colors right? We would completely play into the colors of the cheerleader uniform in the Shake It Off music video. For those who have not seen it, it would be white as the main color with blue and yellow being the secondary ones. We could even have a RED color rush jersey. Heh get ir? Cause of the album Red? We could have so many memes with the endzone and the field graphics but I would love to have some sort of lyric in the endzone. I admit I have not thought of this one just yet but I am sure I can find a good lyric to fit in with a sports team.

9. Through a random lottery drawing, you have been named the league's new commisioner for a day. Congrats! What improvements would you make to the league if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?


Wow so I get to be commissioner for a day huh? Well, first off this is a terrible idea, I can do a head office job quite well as seen in Super Casual Football Sim League. I am afraid my Simulation Hockey League self could not control itself though and a toxic commish would not be a great look for the league now would it? I would love to have some improvements to the league though. Some of these being the reason that I have gone IA here twice now! This might obviously be me just being IA or not paying attention enough but it seems I don't exactly know all the jobs that someone holds in the league, specifically management. I know some people in the hierarchy but obviously not all and just a little more transparency there and the decisions Head Office makes would be nice. Second is the Point Tasks. Now once again, I do admit that I have not been super active so I cannot keep track but I love the roleplay of sim leagues with characters and imagining scenarios to encounter yourself in just like this scenario right here! So I would love a lot less blab about stats during Point Tasks that I probably won't read and I want more character work! Save the stats and actual league insight for the pros in the media section! I love reading stories about people's characters and I love making up my own stuff along the way as well. So basically just le me do more sports dnd in the PT department. Third and final change and this is probably a valid one unlike the other 2 points I made. The streaming experience is just horrible to me. Not only is the game hard to comprehend sometimes with not knowing what the hell is going on. But I think an actual booth like Pro Baseball Experience or Super Casual Football Sim League would help a lot! Someone to show some excitment and joy for this league! I love the lofi chill music as much as anyone but the sim experience has to be the weakest part about this league in my honest opinion

10. Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league.

I do not know if I have shared the origin story of Beeg Beeg Yoshi in great detail in the past before, but here it goes for this Ultimus Week task. Beeg Beeg Yoshi hatched from an egg on top of a mountain on Yoshi's Island only a few years ago (dinosaurs age fast, or something like that, I am not a dinosaur expert if this was not evidently clear enough). Immediately, the other Yoshis realized that something was up, for this Yoshi was BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG.

Beeg Beeg Yoshi tried out a ton of different sports to see which one would fit him best. He was quite an excellent sumo wrestler for a while, but it wasn't satisfying him enough. Beeg Beeg Yoshi wanted MORE. He tried basketball, and dunking the ball was fine and all, but granted he wasn't quite agile on the court (he did fit like half of the court by himself though so that wasn't necessarily an issue). Again, he WANTED MORE. He tried ice hockey but was not agile enough to be a good defenseman. He also wasn't that great of a goalie, despite fitting nearly 99.9% of the net. He wanted MORE. So he tried baseball, and that didn't work at all.

Eventually, he tried out gridiron football, where things naturally worked out for the big and heavy dinosaur, as he plowed through the competition like it was nobody's business. Realizing that playing gridiron football was his true calling, Beeg Beeg Yoshi departed from Yoshi's Island in search of a career in the ISFL. He first played college football at Squidward Community College, where he was coached by the legendary, the one and only, Squidward Tennisballs himself.

Wait, sorry. Squidward Tenatacles. Anyhow, thanks to Squidward's outstanding coaching, Beeg Yoshi got drafted by the Kansas City Coyotes of the DSFL a few seasons ago. Recently, he was drafted by the Austin Copperheads of the ISFL. Currently, Yosh is with the Coyotes, where he is going to go and try to get as many pancakes as possible.

13. Expansion Expansion Expansion! Tell us why you think the league should expand / not expand or include any ideas (in words) for team branding ideas you have or team locations.
I am almost always a huge fan of expansion simply because it allows the opportunity for more new blood to enter the league, and if we know anything about human anatomy and physiology, more blood circulation is good.

I don't know enough about the ISFL to have a gauge on if expansion is an absolutely necessary need, but I am certain that a small expansion of one or two teams will always be a welcome change. I really don't have any good expansion locations, if I'm being honest, but I would probably go for somewhere really random instead of a more contemporary setting just to make it more unique (for example, there being a ISFL team in Yellowknife was very cool. I had no clue that they could play football in the Northwest territories since it's usually super cold there like all year long, or at least that's the vibe I'm getting). On that note, maybe a football team in Yukon just for the sake of it. Something like the Whitehorse Knights (if there is an ISFL or DSFL team that's already branded as the knights or something medieval I apologize in advance).

I honestly wouldn't hate the idea of another Canadian team just for the heck of it. There are lots of canadian cities that are very hyped about football in real life. For example, I think Hamilton is very much a canadian football city, since the Tiger Cats are about as old as the country itself. Maybe a football team there could work, and it helps to expand the lore of sim universe Hamilton Ontario since there's the Hamilton Steelhawks over in the Simulation Hockey League.

I'd imagine that whatever expansion location is picked out, however, it would have to be North American based, but if I recall correctly there is a team in London, UK? Or is it London, Ontario or another London in the US? I do not know.

My draft class, S32, is filled with future HoF players and I can see a lot of pro bowls in their future! I'm gonna start by the first steal of the draft. The secound overall pick, Pasta the Turtle. This turtle is just balling for Baltimore. He has the potential to win defensive rookie of the season. As a first year call up!!!! We basically go from steal to steal! Pick 3 was one hell of a pick! Pick 4, my TE buddy Penne, also a steal and he got called up after his first season as well! he is currently the TE1 for SJS. He didn't have a great rookie season but it was still decent. For the Tight Ends it always depends on how the team is set up. More passing or more throwing.
Pick 6 was the next steal, Escanor Sama, who will be called up after this season. He was wrecking the DSFL for two seasons and now he's heading for the ISFL to do the same there. He will be a player to watch next year for offensive rookie of the year, mark my words! Pick 7, another steal, what is going on with this draft! Tater was also called up after the first season. Which makes it 4/7 draftees that got immediately called up so far. Impressive to say the least!
I could just carry on like this forever but that would be boring to read. Some of the later round steals were Theo AwardsSystemIsBad and LaDamien Beck.

My fellow S32 prospects are doing really well. Most are balling in the DSFL but as I said earlier, some are just now done with their rookie season. Stand outs were Pasta the Turtle, Lenard Graf (myself) and Bernd d. Brot.

We actually had a surprising amount of DTs drafted in my class, leading the pack was Garfield Despacito, my old Bondi Beach Teammate! He got called up after one season as well! It was also quite interesting to see where all our QBs would land. We had a threeway lead for best QB around. First QB picked was Live Laughlove (who is the leader in TPE, right now), then Tobias Worthingston III and the last out of those three, Bernd D. Brot, who actually switched to Wide receiver.
There was a three way trade between NYS, Austin and Colorado. In the end, LLL ended up in Colorado and NYS ended up with Malcolm Savage!
Confusing enough?

Now, who will win Pro Bowls and who will get into the HoF...
I think a lot of us will win Pro Bowls, for some positions it might be easier to get a pro bowl, then others.
I think Pasta the Turtle will get into the Pro Bowl. He might be able to actually get into the Pro Bowl in his rookie season!
Both stud Tight Ends will probably get into a Pro Bowl or two. It always depends on how the team utilizes their TEs. For myself I think I can manage to win a couple Pro Bowls if my team carries on like this. I will have to fight for snaps with my other TE but as I proved this season, I should be getting most of the snaps
Both of the QBs are destined for Pro Bowls, as soon as they are in their prime, they won't be stoppable! Looking forward to that!
I think Lalu Muhammad Zohri will become a Pro Bowler, same as Tater and Doc Fireball. Both those guys have potential on defense!

The HoF case will be a bit more difficult. I can just go off of the first two years. It looks like Pasta will be a HoF player, I can see Escanor Sama or Bernd D. Brot becoming HoF players. Myself and Penne will have a tight race for it, after the first year I'm slightly ahead. If I get my pass catching in control, then I'll have one hell of a season! I managed to average 12.2 yards per catch!
