Thanksfelix Bowl VII: Thanksfelix Isn't All That Clever In Retrospect Player Comparison (11/7/2017)
Ernie Steele
In the backyard sports universe, Ernie is one of the most dangerous receivers in the game. Why? Because he is the lankiest boy in his age bracket. His arms are longer than Ronnie Dobbs’ body. His legs are longer than Chuck Downfield’s catch phrases. Ian Leopold’s a similarly longly shaped figure who figures to be a puzzle that defenders can’t figure out. He’s almost like an action figure the way he configures his long arms into difficult positions. A normal person would be disfigured, I figure.
Now look, no comparison is perfect. There’s no two people that are exactly the same (except, of course, the Webber sisters). If you look at Ian and Ernie side by side you can see right away that Ernie is much more of a jokester. Steele’s nickname is Funnybones for goodness sake. Leopold ain’t no funny bones. If you been on his team you know he’s out for blood. But hey, a more competitive, more focused Ernie Steele? That seems like a clear #1 pick that’s going to whoever correctly guesses if it’s laces or spaces.
FelixBowl XI: A Tradition Unlike Any Other Player Bio (5/2/2013)
After a few early struggles to find his place in Felix Bowl elite, Ian Leopold has grown into the top player in Felix Bowl history. After leading his team to yet another championship in Felix Bowl X, he has the most championships of anyone in league history passing both Pyfer and McGrath who were among the past leaders. Leopold's dominance has transcended the game, but he is still hungry for more in this year's installment. Now with the biggest target on his back of anyone since Ian McGrath, can he raise to the pressure and take yet another title home?
Thanksfelix Bowl II: Somebody Please Beat McGrath's Team (11/8/2011)
Ian Leopold comes into this season feeling a lot like Randy Moss or Terrell Owens. Not because he has been controversial or vulgar or anything like that, in fact Ian has been a great sport in all of the felixbowls. No he feels like these receivers because despite being widely considered the best player in Felixbowl history, he has not managed to get his hands on a championship trophy. He is always a captain and always competitive in games, but McGath and Fleischer have ripped away the trophy out of his hands in a way that no one has ever done with the football. Do we need to mention the mans skills? Leopold is tall with a great wing span that allows him to make some of the craziest catches in the game. In addition he is very quick of the line and has great juke moves which make him an uncoverable combination of both speed and size. He is determined to leave Mondauk park with the monkey off his back and the trophy in its place.

Felix IV: A New Hope Player Bio (11/22/2010)
Ian Leopold C- Believe it or not Ian Leopold is making his official Felix Bowl debut after a series of unfortunate tragedies in year’s past. At the Thanksfelix Bowl, Leopold had a conflict of interest, while a few months later, after being picked first overall, an unfortunate traffic error landed him at Spark’s Field a few minutes too late for Felixbowl III: Return of the King. But Leopold, the only non Upper Dublin student attending the event, has proven that his ability is near the top of the list for all to ever play in a Felixbowl. His leaping ability and long arms have made him a dominate player against smaller defenders, while his speed and agility are often undervalued. Leopold comes in with a thirst to prove himself after his past misfortunes. Leopold will captain the west squad at Felixbowl IV: A New Hope. His debut should be one to remember.
