Task 5:
One of the strongest things that have helped me thus far in my time in Chicago is the level of activity that has gone on since I was drafted there in the fourth round of the season 23 draft. I already had a lot of knowledge of the people who ran the team, mostly because Muford is my brother, and I was on San Jose when we drafted Bayley back in Season 3. Outside of those two, I already knew Oles from a lot of our late night gaming sessions back in the Season 13-14 San Jose Sabercat days, where we would be up until odd ass hours of the night playing Heroes of the Storm mostly. Outside of those three, I have heard sparingly about Evok, Enigmatic, and a few others on the team but that is mostly it. I will say though, since being drafted in Chicago, it has been one of the better experiences I have had in the league since I have been around since Season 1. Dare I say it is one of the most active teams I have ever been apart of. This all plays an important role in what I am here to talk about, which is activity breeds activity. I have learned through my multiple years of sim leagues that if you have an very active team, even with the hard times, you will make it through and get to the great times that lie in wait. The most recent one, where I was drafted to San Jose in Season 10, My Quarterback’s Clone *Chris Orosz (clone)* was taken yet again, in the fourth round. They were making something special happen there, by continuing to add some great pieces in Muford *again*, Oles, Andrew Warren, GoonerBear, and the like. San Jose was a laughingstock for a long time, but they kept bringing in competent and active players and low and behold they were able to turn it around and win a title in Season 14. That is exactly what I see happening in Chicago Right now. The team is young, but do not let that fool you. The Locker room is bumping every day, every single fucking day. We have a great mixture of veterans in Muford, Bayley, Oles, Evok, Enigmatic, as well as CDub, BluLine, and our Quarterback Leafer. Those old heads have been around the league, most since the early days, which is just crazy to me. But outside of those old heads, the young bloods we have kept bringing in, are just what helps this team show that they want to win it all in Chicago and we can keep pushing that envelope. The young bloods on this team, TheCC, Ithica Hawk, McCringleberry, MVP, and Wildfire have all taken a turn to figure out what it is they want from the team and how they can help the team and have all been invaluable to turning the Chicago Ship around. Everyday I wake up and look in the Chicago Locker Room, there is discussion going on, whether it be about the league, about other leagues, or about someone’s personal life when someone wants to share their story, it has been such a humbling experience. I always try to jump in and add gifs all the time, yes, I am that guy. But all in all, this team has had their head down to the grindstone and has continued to update and be a giant family to one another since I was drafted here and I love to see such great activity throughout the team. Top to bottom, GMs, to the guys in the minors even, the whole team has one goal in mind, and that is to right the ship of Chicago that was fucked for such a long time, and I am so glad to be apart of it. Like I stated earlier, back in San Jose, once you get everybody on board with the same message, and want to be there, and want to enjoy each others company, work towards one goal of turning a franchise around while having fun with it, then it only becomes a matter of time. That is where Chicago is at right now, and I honestly don’t see myself going anywhere else but here. I truly love everybody that I have talked to and worked with in Chicago so far and I can not wait to see this team come up from the ashes and continue to push forward and be the best team that they can be. We have had so many guys that just want to do what’s best for the team and go above and beyond to assist with whatever anybody is needing, that I can not really say I can see myself anywhere else but Chicago. The Butchers have been my home for only one season so far, and I will say it has been one of the best seasons of my stay in the NSFL.
