Hey guys! For those who don't know me, I'm Isa or Bjørn depending on the person. I was once the top media guy in the league, have written more than any other player by a decent margin, hold the record on the longest article ever written, and am currently the richest person in the league. I was also once a max earner who was at the top of the S18 class and went 1st overall in both the DSFL and NSFL, one of only three players to complete that feat.
For those who do know me, I love you all! I apologize for my hasty withdraw from the league, but I needed some time away to get some stuff done! I missed you guys and I'm excited to see you all again!
I've recently returned to the league after a two month hiatus and have been a bit overwhelmed catching up with everyone! Figured it would be a lot easier to get everything in a more condensed area, so feel free to fire away and ask me any questions you may have!
Oh yeah, there’s only like 10 of them. Starting with Alonzo and ending with Zorro. Super easy. It's a shame that recruiting this past season didn’t go as well as we expected. I guess we’ll just have to hope for the best next season. So much for that fear of expansion. Am I right?

Wait, what? Change? I shouldn’t have any change! I’m pretty sure I told the head office to donate all of my wealth to charity before I left. What have they been doing with all of my money!? I shall have to look into this blasphemous use of the Bjørn Wild fund!
This one is incredibly difficult. How can you narrow down such esteemed culinary choices to just one selection? You have the fan favorite Elmer’s glue and the exotic tastes of wood glues. So much variation! But if I had to pick a single best, a single favorite, I think I have to pick Gorilla Glue.

Oof. Honestly I didn’t keep track of last season at all. I was completely disengaged from the league, but I know heading into the season we had the highest TPE total in the league. Unfortunately, that didn’t convert into wins. To make matters worse, NOLA lost one of their key offensive weapons and Stan Francisco is starting to regress. I’m not sure how NOLA rebounds after falling short in what they felt like was their season, but I imagine it will most revolve around continuing to get better. The team has remained active, the team has kept earning, and they’ll keep grinding forward and doing their best to bring the Ultimus to NOLA. Last season was a bump in the road and with the veterans hitting their peak and constant influxes of young talent, I think they’ll keep getting their chances.
Honestly for long term success, I highly advise not putting too high of expectations on yourself and doing only what you’re comfortable with. Have fun with it all. If you’re not having fun, that is how you start getting burnout. If doing a PT feels more like a chore than something you look forward to? Don’t do that PT. If you start forcing yourself to do things, it becomes more like work and it takes joy out of the league. Take your time and remember at the end of the day, this is a game and it’s all about enjoying yourself. Find your joy and focus on that. Let everything else in the league just be background noise.
This one is easy. Poison Dart Frog, no question. Have you seen those colors? I’m a big fan of bright colors and unique shades and these guys provide much needed variation to our world! They’re a lot of fun to look at and watch. Did you know that the brighter their colors are, the more toxic they are? In fact there are some variations that are cryptic in color and are basically not toxic at all!
1. I’m going to stab you. Like a hobo.
2. As many as it takes. And a couple more for good measure. You can apply this to all things in life.
3. They’ve been chilling in my flat. Been making quite the mess of things honestly, but didn’t have time to get them out for training this off season. Instead they’ll be helping out NOLA and teaching all of these running backs how to hold onto the ball when they’re hit.
4. The better question is what wouldn’t I do for a Klondike bar? Dude, work overflowed into my lunch today so I didn’t get to take a break. I also didn’t eat breakfast because I wasn’t hungry at the time. Even if Klondike bars weren’t hella delicious, I’m pretty sure I’d stab my best friend to get one right now. I’m not an agreeable person when I’m hungry.
5. I mean Waldo IS in Minnesota. Though more likely he actually went home to England where he keeps his summer home. He’s been hiding from Odlaw recently. Heard the dude has been real stalkerish lately.
First off, thanks a ton! Things are better across the board and I'm excited to be involved again for however long that may be.
Secondly, there is absolutely not a fan club! Haha. I do appreciate the kind words though. I just looked through and saw you've been pumping out some incredible media yourself! I loved scanning through your scouting reports. Such an awesome series! I always love seeing guys diving in like that. Maybe I should be the one seeing about starting a fan club for you!
On that third note, I've always loved the Second Line. The people, the environment, and the structure they have there is awe inspiring. I've never met a more supportive or kind group of people in my life. They're always eager to help and they are always there to listen if you need to talk. From the top down, the team is filled with awesome people who have been nothing but amazing in my experience with them. I'm pretty happy that they're the team I can come back to as I look to rebound in the league!
Finally, I wish the same for you! Hope your day is fantastic and I look forward to seeing what you can do in this league. It looks like you've started off on an excellent foot and I'm hyped to follow your career!
Honestly I haven't really had any surprises so far. The league still feels pretty much like it used to. If I had to pick out something it would be this gargantuan draft class we have coming up! Holy crap guys, this number of rookies is mind boggling. Well done recruitment team.
As far as the other question, I think we'll have to go with the sim gods on that one. It is well documented that when a player is created, the sim gods either smile down on them or cast them aside. That player then either goes on to have a legendary career or completely falter no matter how hard they work. The sim gods cannot be questioned. You sir have been blessed by the sim gods.

NOLA came up short last season, how do they rebound?
Will Chicago make the playoffs?

Second, I am entirely new here, but would it be okay for me to officially apply to be a member of your fan club? Just glancing at some of your work and I am in awe.
Third, are you looking forward to competing for second line again?
Fourth, here is to you having a delightful day and rad return.
