Quenton Bode (born August 22, 2006) was an American football linebacker for the New Orleans Second Line of the National Simulation Football League. He played college football for the University of Nebraska, and played one season with the San Antonio Marshals of the Developmental Simulation Football League. Bode played for the Second Line for the entirety of his 13 season ISFL career. He was selected to four Pro Bowls, was a three-time ASFC champion, and was a member of the S21 Ultimus championship team. He is the all-time leader in tackles (1441), second all-time in forced fumbles (19), and tied for third in fumbles recovered (11). In 2046 (S31), Bode was elected to the International Simulation Football League Hall of Fame.

Early years
Not much is known about Quenton Bode's early years. It is believed that while he was still a cub, his mother fled south in search of food and better living conditions, and the two were somehow separated.
He was found on the outskirts of Anchorage by Robert and Martha Bode, a human couple. Neither had much knowledge about polar bears--Robert was an editor at a local newspaper, and Martha taught biology at a nearby high school--but they took him in anyway. After caring for the young polar bear cub for several months, they decided to raise him as their own. They named him Quenton and subsequently adopted him; his listed birthdate is his date of adoption.
Quenton took to human society quickly, and was soon enrolled in school. Having a polar bear in the classroom came as quite a shock to the community, but the city soon rallied behind their unique son. Quenton was a good student and, according to one instructor, "a joy to teach."
Quenton grew fond of football, and it wasn't long before he started his football journey. He played middle school football for several years but was soon picked up by the varsity team. He played running back for most of his high school career and helped Eagle River win three state titles. Despite his dominant performance at the high school level, he received very little attention from D1 schools. Ultimately, he decided to walk-on at the University of Nebraska, his mother's alma mater.
College career
Bode walked on to the Nebraska football team his freshman year, and spent much of that time riding the bench. It was at this point he made the switch from running back to linebacker, as Nebraska already had several talented running backs on roster. His one notable game came against Iowa, in which he picked off Iowa quarterback Sandy Russell and ran the ball back for the game-winning touchdown.
Bode's sophmore year was slightly better. Although he was not in the starting lineup, he saw intermittent playing time. He ended the season with twenty-six tackles, one sack, and two interceptions.
Between Bode's sophomore and junior years, Nebraska saw an entirely new coaching staff brought in. The new coach, former Nebraska standout Ndamukong Suh, recognized Bode's untapped potential, and named him a starter. Bode's junior year was a breakout year. He saw regular playing time, and performed well above expectations. The Cornhuskers went 12-1 (after going 4-8 the year before), and Bode was named the team Defensive Player of the Year. He was also recognized as a second-team All-American, finishing the year with sixty-five tackles, three sacks, four interceptions, and three forced fumbles (one of which Bode recovered).
Many of the players from the Nebraska offense left the school after Bode's senior year. Several declared for the NFL draft, while others graduated or transferred to other schools. This meant that Bode's senior year was played with a very young offense, and the team struggled because of it. Despite the team going 5-7, Bode had a career year. He finished the year with one hundred and thirty-seven tackles, four sacks, five interceptions (one of which was returned for a touchdown), and three forced fumbles. He was a consensus first-team All American, won both the Butkus Award and the Jack Lambert Trophy, and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. He also graduated with a degree in journalism.
Professional career
After his senior year, Bode declared for the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL) draft. He was placed on the Central Grizzlies roster for the 2030 Prospect Bowl. The Grizzles lost in the Prospect Bowl Championship Game to the Pacific Owls.
San Antonio Marshals
After the Prospect Bowl, Bode declared for the 2029 DSFL Draft (S14). In the draft, the San Antonio Marshals selected Quenton Bode with the fourth pick in the third round (sixteenth overall). Other notable Marshals draftees in that year were running back Morgan Marshall, defensive end Nero Alexander, safety Walt Green, and linebacker Mo Berry; these five players quickly came to be known as the "Fab Five." The Fab Five (or Fab V) helped carry San Antonio to one of the best seasons in DSFL history: the team finished the season with 398 points scored and a +205 point differential, both league records. The team also allowed just 198 points, good for second all-time (the Marshals PA record is now fourth all-time, after the Tijuana Luchadores allowed 188 and 165 points in 2033 (S18) and 2034 (S19) respectively). Bode himself had an impressive rookie season, finishing in the top ten for tackles and sacks, as well as being one of just nine players to record a defensive touchdown. He recorded ten tackles against the Tijuana Luchadores in their playoff matchup, but the Marshals were ultimately defeated by the Luchadores in the first round. After the playoffs, Bode declared for the 2030 ISFL Draft (S15).

New Orleans Second Line
The New Orleans Second Line selected Quenton Bode with the second pick in the first round (second overall) of the 2030 ISFL Draft (S15). Other notable Second Line draftees that year were linebacker Johnny Slothface, running back Forrest Gump, cornerback Deon Taylor, and offensive lineman Brave Ulysses. The draft was a small reunion for Bode, Gump, and Ulysses, as all three played for the Central Grizzlies in the Prospect Bowl. Most of the team's draftees elected to remain in the DSFL; Bode was one of just two who decided to play for New Orleans in 2030 (S15). Shortly after the draft, Bode signed a three-year, $9.5 million contract with New Orleans; the contract also included a no-trade clause.
2030 was a tough one for the Second Line, as they finished with a dismal 2-12 record. Bode's performance was one of the few bright spots for the team that year, however. His team-high 108 tackles was good for eighth in the league, and put him well on his way toward claiming the team tackle record as well.
2031 (S16) saw a big change in the landscape of the league with the addition of two expansion teams: the Chicago Butchers and the Austin Copperheads. The expansion meant that the schedule had to be changed, and so S16 was the first in which only 13 games were played. The season also started off on a bright note, as many of Bode's fellow draftees were called up to the NSFL. Johnny Slothface played next to Bode at linebacker, and Forrest Gump took over as running back. The team as a whole improved, but couldn't manage a winning record and ended the season at 6-7. In a strange twist of fate, Bode once again ended the season with 108 tackles. Like in Season 15, he led the team in tackles, and he ended the season in the top ten for tackles (at seventh overall).
During the offseason, Bode signed a three-year, $6 million extension with New Orleans. Most notably, the extension did not include the NTC that his rookie contract had.
In 2032 (S17), the Second Line came crashing back down to earth. The team that had almost secured a winning record in 2031 instead crawled their way to the end of the season and a 4-9 record. Despite their poor showing (or perhaps because of it), Bode flourished on the defensive side of the ball. He made 16 tackles in the final game of the regular season, an impressive feat which allowed him to claim the top spot in the league for tackles.
2033 (S18) started off very promising for New Orleans: the team was 4-2 halfway through the season and sat atop many of the league power rankings. However, the second half of the season was not as kind to the team. After winning their Week 7 matchup, the Second Line went 0-5 to finish the regular season, losing several games against much weaker opponents. The Second Line had hoped to make the playoffs, but instead was forced to watch from home with a 5-8 record. Bode, like many of his teammates, was frustrated with how the season ended up, and he resolved to work hard and come back in Season 19 stronger than ever. This resolution came in spite of a strong season from Bode; he was second in the league in tackles, including a monstrous 15 tackle game in Week 15, and he ended the season with a career-high four TFLs.
2034 (S19) proved to be the best season yet, both for Bode and for the team. After having not earned a winning record or a playoff appearance since 2026 (S11), the Second Line finished second in the ASFC with an 8-5 record. In their first playoff game against the Copperheads, New Orleans came back from a 14 point deficit at halftime to win the game and advance to the conference championships. The Second Line faced off against the Orange County Otters, the defending champions. The Second Line fought hard and made sure the game came down to the wire, but the Otters prevailed in the end; they would go on to win their third straight Ultimus Bowl. But the Second Line didn't let that get their spirits down, and they are dialed in for 2035. On an individual level, Bode had arguably his best season yet. He finished below 100 tackles and outside the league's top ten for the first time in his career, but he recorded career-high totals in sacks, passes defended, and interceptions; he also tied his season total for forced fumbles. He ended the 2034 ISFL playoffs (S19) with 13 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble.
After the playoffs, Bode agreed to a three-year, $12 million extension, keeping him in New Orleans until 2038 (S23).
The success that both Bode and the Second Line found in 2034 (S19) continued into 2035 (S20). New Orleans finished the regular season at 7-6; although they won one fewer game than the previous season, they earned the second seed in the ASFC and, thus, their second straight playoff appearance. The first round of the playoffs saw the Second Line face off against perennial favorites and long-time rival Orange County Otters. However, New Orleans proved to be the stronger team and walked away victorious. Their victory meant that the 2035 (S20) ASFC championship game would be the first in league history to not feature the Otters, and ended their hopes of a four-peat. The championship matchup instead consisted of New Orleans and the Austin Copperheads, who were making their first appearance in the championship. Unfortunately, the Copperheads prevailed over the Second Line, and would go on to defeat the Yellowknife Wraiths to earn the franchise's first Ultimus. Bode's performance on the field was a large factor in the team's regular season and postseason success. He recorded 115 tackles in the regular season, the second best single-season total of his career and tied for third-highest in the league that season. He also tied his personal single-season record for forced fumbles (with 2), and tied his second-best season performance for passes defended (with 3). He also recorded 13 tackles in the postseason, along with 1 sack. Over the course of the regular season, Bode earned two Defensive Player of the Game awards. He was also awarded three game balls, for his outstanding performances in weeks 2, 4, and 6.
2036 (S21) was nothing short of spectacular for both Bode and New Orleans. The Second Line won their first nine games of the season, which was not only the best start to the season in New Orleans history, but also matched the second-best start in league history. The Second Line's strong start included road wins over Orange County and Austin, and they seemed to be heavy favorites for the first seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Unfortunately, the last four games of the season did not go New Orleans' way, and the Second Line ended the season on a four-game losing streak. Nevertheless, the 9-4 regular season record was New Orleans' best finish since Season 11, and it was still good enough to get them into the playoffs. The wild card round saw the Second Line facing off against the Copperheads in New Orleans (in the newly christened "House of the Rising Sun"). New Orleans won that game handily, defeating the defending champions 23-17. The ASFC conference championship saw New Orleans travel to Orange County in what many considered to be the season's true Ultimus. The Otters were clearly favored in that game, but New Orleans took a commanding lead in the first half. The second half saw Orange County come storming back, and a game-tying touchdown with a minute left to play sent the game into overtime. The Second Line kicked a field goal, and their defense held firm on the Otters' possession to complete the upset and send New Orleans to the Ultimus. The Second Line had home field advantage against the NSFC champs, the Yellowknife Wraiths, and that helped them control the game from the opening kickoff. The Second Line held a 17-0 lead at halftime, and continued to dominate in the second half: if not for a touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter, the Wraiths would have been held to their lowest score all season. The final score was 33-13, and New Orleans was finally Ultimus champions once again. Bode was one of four players chosen to be on New Orleans' championship banner, an honor that was widely agreed to be well deserved after his impressive individual season performance. The most notable event of Bode's season came in Week 9, when the Second Line played the Arizona Outlaws. Bode recorded 10 tackles in that game, which was enough to earn him the franchise record for career tackles. He's now on pace to break 1000 tackles by the end of his career, an objective that Bode has made clear he's hoping to achieve. He finished the regular season with 115 tackles, matching his Seasons 20 tackle total. He also recorded 3 TFL, 3 sacks, and 3 PDs, in addition to forcing one fumble. He also nearly doubled his playoff tackle total, recording 22 in the Season 21 playoffs and taking his career total to 48. He was named Defensive Player of the Game in New Orleans' Week 7 victory over the Philadelphia Liberty, and he was awarded three game balls for his Week 11, 12, and 13 performances. The Ultimus game ball, awarded to every member of the defensive roster, was technically Bode's first playoff game ball.
In a post-season presser, Bode confirmed that he would be spending the rest of his career as a member of the New Orleans Second Line.
2037 (S22) marked Bode's eighth season in the league. Although the general public couldn't tell, Bode privately admitted to close friends that he was beginning to feel the effects of old age, and that his on-field performance would soon begin declining. Because of that--and because this would be the first season since his rookie year that he would not be playing next to Johnny Slothface--Bode spent the season focusing less on his own preparedness and more on mentoring the next generation of Second Line defenders. New Orleans had drafted a linebacker named Ugarth the Dissector in the S22 draft; as soon as it was clear he would be starting, Bode took the young player under his wing (so to speak). That mentoring clearly paid off: Ugarth had one of the best rookie seasons in league history. Not only did Dissector make the Pro Bowl as a rookie, but he was also a nominee for Linebacker of the Year and won Defensive Rookie of the Year. It was an incredible debut, but unfortunately the team as a whole had a difficult season. The Second Line struggled to win games, finally putting together a four-game win streak late in the season to help them go 8-5 and sneak into the playoffs. Their wildcard matchup was against the Austin Copperheads, who was coming into the playoffs riding a seven-game winning streak to close out the regular season. That momentum continued into their game against New Orleans; the Copperheads won 34-27, but those who watched the game stated it wasn't as close as the final score might indicate. The playoffs concluded with the Orange County Otters facing off against the Colorado Yeti, and in a shocking upset it was the underdog Yeti who walked away as champions. Bode, for his part, had an impressive season. He once again finished in the top ten for tackles with 118, the second-highest season tackle total of his career. He also forced three fumbles, setting a new season best and moving him up on several franchise record lists. He recorded just two TFL, but that was enough to put him into the Second Line's top ten for career TFL. In the Second Line's one playoff game against Austin, Bode recorded an incredible 12 tackles; that was enough to put him solidly in second place for the franchise's playoff tackles record. Bode continued to add to his lead in the franchise's career tackle category: he ended the season with 897 career tackles, well on his way to breaking the one thousand tackle mark.
During the offseason, the league's head office voted to expand the regular season schedule to 16 games, a move that was immediately met with both criticism and praise. Publicly, Bode remained largely silent on the issue. Privately, however, Bode expressed extreme displeasure with the move, according to sources close to him. "The league played fourteen games every season since its inception, that was the norm," Bode was reported as saying. "Then they have what was at the time the biggest draft in history, and decide to play one fewer game each season. Fine, whatever. But now that that group of players is on the decline, suddenly we're fine with playing more games each season? We spent our primes working toward these records, fighting these uphill battles with one fewer game each season. And now the guys who come after us are gonna breeze right by us on their way to the top? I mean, what chance does that give us? There are a lot of guys who now will never get the recognition they deserve, who spent their careers busting their asses to leave some kind of legacy behind, and now that's been taken away from them. What chance do we have at the Hall [of Fame] now?" When asked about the rant, Bode stated that "my personal feelings on the matter are irrelevant," but he also said that he "supported what's best for the league and its future."
Whatever his misgivings about the longer season or his own physical health, 2038 (S23) saw Bode have one of the best individual seasons of his career. His Second Line team finished the season with a 9-7 record, thanks to a four-game winning streak to start the second half of the season. Unfortunately, too many of those seven losses came against conference opponents; New Orleans finished the season as the second-place team in the ASFC, and so found themselves in a wildcard matchup against the Austin Copperheads. The game was a defensive display, as only two touchdowns were scored the entire game, but in the end it was the Copperheads who came out on top. Austin managed to defeat Orange County in the conference championships, but lost the Ultimus to a tough Yellowknife Wraiths team. The one-and-done playoff run greatly troubled Bode (who played very poorly in the game), but his own regular season performance was nothing short of incredible. Aided by the increased number of games, Bode finished the season with a monstrous 154 tackles. That was not only enough to lead the league in tackles, but also to set a new single-season tackles record. When asked about this accomplishment, Bode said that while he was proud of it, but that he didn't expect his record to stand very long: "This was the first of many sixteen game seasons. I'm an old bear, and I can tell these longer seasons will be tough on me physically. I'll enjoy holding the record for the time being, but I don't think it will be long before some much younger player comes along and takes it away. Football is a young bear's game, and I'm just not that young anymore." Bolstered by this performance, Bode was voted into the Pro Bowl for the first time since Season 20.
Shortly before the start of the next season, Bode signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Second Line for $3 million.
2039 (S24) marked a big milestone in Bode's career: his tenth season in the league. Despite being the second oldest player on the New Orleans Second Line roster (behind fellow 2030 (S15) player Forrest Gump), Bode still made significant contributions on the field. The Second Line greatly benefited from those contributions, and the contributions of Bode's teammates, starting the season with a 3-0 record. At the halfway mark of the season New Orleans boasted a respectable 6-2 record; with every other ASFC team at 4-4, Second Line held a commanding lead in the conference. But the second half of the season was not as kind to New Orleans, and by season's end they were 9-7 and in a four-way tie for the first seed. San Jose ended up securing the first round by on tiebreakers, and the Second Line were sent to Orange County for the first game of the playoffs. Despite a good fight against the Otters, New Orleans eventually lost the game and their chance at the 2039 (S24) Ultimus. San Jose, boosted by their first-round bye, met the Colorado Yeti head-on in the Ultimus, and after a game that highlighted both teams' excellent defenses, the Sabercats secured their second Ultimus. The 33 year old Bode struggled at times during the regular season and in the playoffs, but he still finished the season in the top ten for tackles. He also continued to climb the all-time career tackles list: he ended the season with 1179 tackles, passing Julian O'Sullivan for third place. He also secured the New Orleans franchise record in several categories, furthering his status as one of the franchise's all-time greats.
Bode held a press conference shortly after the Ultimus, and while he was not asked directly about when he planned to retire, he did address the question: "I'm proud to have been a part of this great organization for the past 10 seasons, and I'm already looking forward to my 11th season in New Orleans." Bode also told reporters that he was planning on pursuing a career in sports journalism after his retirement. The press conference also saw Bode announce the creation of his youth football camp, officially titled "Linebacker Quenton Bode's 'Defeat Opponents, Obtain Trophies' Youth Football Training Initiative" but called "DOOT Camp" for short.
During the season, Bode signed another one-year contract with the New Orleans Second Line for $4 million.
2040 (S25) was perhaps the most significant season of Bode's career, in terms of individual achievement. During the Second Line's victory over the Austin Copperheads in Week 11, Bode secured the all-time tackles record, beating the old mark of 1275 set by Alex Selich. He finished the season with 153 tackles, bringing his regular season tackles total to 1332. This made Bode the first player in ISFL history to record 1300+ tackles in a career. He also moved up the all-time forced fumbles list, adding 2 to his total of 16 to vault him into a tie for third place. In terms of his place in the Second Line's record books, Bode managed to crack the top ten for career TFL, a list dominated by defensive linemen. Bode's personal success, however, failed to translate to team success. The Second Line finished the season with a win-loss record of 7-9, and their poor on-field performance during the season cost them a playoff berth. This made 2040 (S25) the first time since 2033 (S18) that the Second Line both finished with a losing record and missed the playoffs. The reason for their struggles was widely believed to be the fact that the development of their young players couldn't match up with the decline of their veterans' productivity, including Bode's. But, despite the growing expectation that 2040 (S25) would be his last, Bode assured the Second Line organization and the public that he would be returning to play in 2041 (S26). He did, however, note that he would evaluate retirement on a season-by-season basis, and that 2041 (S26) could potentially be his final season.
The Second Line organization, however, felt confident that Bode would be effective for several more seasons. During the offseason, he agreed to a two-year contract worth $2 million. The signing officially confirmed that Bode, as had long been his desire, would spend his entire career as a member of the Second Line.
Despite his age, New Orleans continued to rely on Bode in the 2041 (S26) season. The team put together a four-game winning streak early in the season, which included wins on the road against Arizona and New York, as well as a victory at home against Orange County. While the team cooled off in the second half of the season, their early successes helped them clinch a playoff spot with a 9-7 record. In an interesting development, all but two ASFC teams finished with a 9-7 record, meaning playoff seeding came down to a series of tiebreakers. New York managed to secure the #1 seed, New Orleans the #2 seed, and Orange County the #3 seed. The result of this process generated a fair amount of controversy, and calls to amend the tiebreaker rules for playoff seeding were taken up in earnest. In the meantime, the Second Line went on an unexpected run, beating Orange County in the wild card round and New York in the ASFC Championship. They faced off against the Yellowknife Wraiths in the Ultimus, who had not forgotten their defeat in the Expression error: Unrecognised word "s". (Ss1) Ultimus at the hands of the Second Line. New Orleans put up 10 unanswered points to start the game, but the rest of the game belonged to the Wraiths: the final score of the game was 17-49, with the Wraiths triumphing over New Orleans. While the end result might have been disappointing, Bode's performance in Season 26 was impressive. He finished the regular season with career high totals in PDs (15) and sacks (10); his 10 sacks in S26 equaled his total sacks from the previous four seasons combined. He also, in the team's Week 13 win over Sarasota, blocked a punt for the first time in his career. He performed well in the playoffs, recording 17 tackles, 1 sack, and a fumble recovery; he also grabbed an interception in the Ultimus, putting an early end to Yellowknife's first possession.
2042 (S27) was a season of great upheaval and change. During the offseason, the league underwent a shift that some said fundamentally altered how the ISFL brand of football was played. While some players and team officials decried the new situation, the league made it clear that this shift was permanent. The Second Line certainly had an interesting season: after going 3-6 and being written off by the rest of the league, New Orleans won 6 of their final 7 games. Many of these wins were over conference opponents, and against all odds New Orleans managed to finish the season with a 9-7 record and, more importantly, a playoff berth. They proceeded to shock the league by defeating Arizona in the wild card round and Honolulu in the ASFC Championship; for the second season in a row, the Second Line found themselves in the Ultimus. This season, their opponents were the Sarasota Sailfish, who were making their first appearance in the title game. The strong Sailfish roster put an end to the Second Line's Cinderella story, winning the Ultimus 34-10. The season was also saw a great change for Bode: after starting every game for 12 seasons, Bode was moved to the bench. This was a mutual decision between the front office and Bode, whose age kept him from performing at the same level as his younger linebacker teammates. Because of this move, Bode's stats suffered greatly: he finished the season with a meager 10 tackles, and recorded extremely low totals in all other major categories, including 0 PDs on the season. In Week 4, he managed to force a fumble, giving him 19 FF for his career; this moved him into second place on the all-time FF list. His best game was in Week 16: with New Orleans having already secured a playoff spot by that time, the front office agreed to let Bode start a game one more time. In that matchup against Arizona -- which the Second Line won -- Bode recorded 2 tackles and 2 TFLs.
On the night before the wild card game, Bode called a press conference, and announced that after the season he was retiring from professional football. He thanked the San Antonio Marshals and New Orleans Second Line organizations, many of his teammates, and various other members of the league.
