I have written this before in a couple of point tasks, and have podcasted (is that a word?) about it once, but I will reiterate for the sake of context. I joined the league at a pretty low point in my life, and it’s been a huge factor in helping me get through a lot of real life garbage. I joined the league in late July after seeing a post on reddit’s NFL sub reddit, and was sort of hooked on the idea. When I signed up, I genuinely did not expect that I would end up where I have ended up today in the league. When I joined, I went inactive for the first six or so in-game weeks of Season 24. I wasn’t updating, and I wasn’t active at all on the Discord locker room. We’re just about to jump into Season 24, about four real life months later or so, and I am now a co-GM of the Kansas City Coyotes, the DSFL team that took a chance on me in the late rounds. Going from essentially inactive to being a person responsible for the well being of a whole DSFL franchise in four months is insane to me, but I accept the challenge with open arms. Now, it didn’t happen randomly. The user Southpaw is the number one reason I have been able to get to where I am today after such a short amount of time, since he spent hours of his precious time helping me learn the ropes of earning and updating, and checking in on me to make sure I was still enjoying the league. It’s interactions like that that renewed my faith in humanity, and helped me find my way out of a pretty dark spot. Along with that, it’s been the support and friendships I’ve made in the Kansas City locker room and with members around the league that has driven me try to be as positive and active of a force as I can be around the league. I’m still learning, and definitely still making mistakes along the way, but it has been such an interesting and rewarding experience so far. Glims has been kind enough (and brave enough) to take a chance on me multiple times so far, and has even gone as far as to make me his co-GM. So, in this new and exciting position, I ponder where we will go from here, and I look back fondly on the well-worn road that has brought me to this point.
Also can’t forget to thank my man Simo for always convincing me not to drunk text my ex at 5am in the LR, he might actually have been the biggest help so far.
