Contents
Early years
Dorothy was born in Brooklyn, New York on a pinochle table at McSoley's bar to Italian immigrants Sophia Petrillo and Salvadore "Sal" Petrillo. Dorothy was a natural athlete from a young age, though her father thought she'd end up in the WNBA due to her height. Despite being a bookworm and avid sportsman, she dropped out of high school when she became pregnant after going to Prom with Stanley "Stan" Zbornak. However, she did manage to finish the season, winning Clinton High School a State Championship while 4 months pregnant with her first child, Kate. Dorothy and Stan remained married for 38 years before divorcing due to Stan's infidelity. Newly single and living in Miami, Dorothy got her GED before attending Golden Gate University and reigniting her football career at the age of 57. She credits much of her success during this time to her roommates Blanche and Rose, her mother Sophia, and cheesecake.
College career
Dorothy red-shirted as a freshman in 1987 while studying American History at Golden Gate University. She towered over virtually all players on the field, standing out due to her tremendous height, large hands, and deep voice. During her Sophomore season, she nearly missed a game for the birth of her grandson Robby Zbornak, but was fortunately able to sprint from the hospital to the field in time to play the final quarter, during which she sacked the opposing QB in four consecutive plays, colloquially referred to by GGU students as 'The Golden Grills', allowing GGU to pull ahead for a 30-27 win. In her Junior Season, Dorothy decided to bulk up from her measly 160 lbs. Between 1988 and 1989 gained 100 lbs of lean muscle, which she attributes to a revolutionary cheesecake diet. In the 1990 season, Dorothy set records for seniors in the GGU athletics department which have yet to be beaten.

DSFL

2038
Zbornak immediately set pace for the team in the first game of the pre-season by making the first tackle in the first game against the Minnesota Grey Ducks, for which she received the teams first Defensive Game Ball. The Pythons walked away from the game victorious, though they struggled later in the season. The pinnacle of Zbornak's athleticism came during the Pythons' Week 1 game against the Buccaneers, when during the first quarter she forced and recovered a fumble on the 43 yard line. Another highlight was in game 6 against the London Royals, when Zbornak managed a sack for -10 yards, contributing to a 20-13 victory. Though not achieving some of the statistical heights of her fellow 2037 draftees, Zbornak's intimidating presence on the field and constant pressure on the opposing offense were key assets to the team.

Controversy
As reported widely on traditional and social media, Zbornak famously incurred a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct during game 12 against the Grey Ducks when, after sacking Minnesota QB Reginald Covington III for -7 yards, she produced a cheesecake from beneath her jersey and force-fed it to him. Zbornak was fined for the incident and apologized publicly, but children still burn effigies of her in the streets of Minnesota.
