I joined back in February in that large S22 Reddit class. It definitely has been a journey. When I first joined the league, I worked third shift IT job, and I really wanted something to kill time when I was bored at work. I joined on my phone to keep things off of my PC at work and casually did the best I could at first. I honestly had a tough time starting; it took me a minute to get used to things on mobile. I continued strictly mobile for the first six months just cause I had gotten used to it. So, I had a small group of teams reach out for the DSFL draft. Mostly questionnaires which are looked down on now, and I definitely know why, it was not very engaging and kind of left you feeling shitty like you were mr. Irrelevant pick. Which now, I understand at the time with how large the class was. I did most things on the site initially, not a ton, but enough, but it was not until I reached out or @Dewalt27 reached out to me after drafting me. This is where I started to get more into it. He guided me through everything I was struggling with and helped me with my build, and pointed me in the right direction for information.
I was doing everything I could but afford the training and equipment. I got to know everyone in the locker room and got some conversations started by posting my BBQ/Smoking pics. Man, I miss summer. But this led to me asking about how to make money, and the big dog @Jangorhino reached out and helped me tackle my first media piece, which was an interview of his player MVP. This led to me bugging everyone I had talked to about doing an interview to cash in on that sweet, sweet league money. Throughout the next two DSFL seasons, I began to find my place in not just the Locker Room, but it was a home. We all had a bit of different personalities, but we all hit it off. That Locker Room is still the best in the league, don't care what you say, but in S22-S23, it was prime. There was no better place to be for anything you needed than Minnesota. "After Hours" VC with @TheCC @ForSucksFake@RussDrivesTheBus @Tylus and others I may be forgetting that was the best.
After DSFL, I figured I would continue to max earn and hope to be the best Cornerback I could be for wherever my career took me. I never wanted anything more, but about halfway through my last season with SJS, I really thought about it, and if I was putting so much time into making sure I was 100% with my player, why not try to get more out of the league and try to give back a bit. So, I did my best with putting up rewards for the NCAAP auction stuff. I then decided it was time to get into this "war room" stuff I had heard, "sim testing" and "jobs" and others. Here I have to thank @Dewalt27 again for giving me a chance to help him and high build Berlin. And I want to thank @TheCC again for letting me in Minnesota War Room to help my alma mater; thank him for the bullshit sessions, gaming sessions, sim test sessions, everything he's helped me with to get my chances at eventually maybe GM'ing in the DSFL.
Overall, I really just wanted to touch on who the league has connected me with and how much fun it has been to be here and get a break from the craziness going on around all of us. I'm a old head a bit and been through a lot, so I definitely know what having an outlet can do to help.
So sorry for the tags, fellas, but thank you to all of you guys, and others like @SnowyWolfz, @BenDover and everyone else that's had a blast with me in Minnesota or elsewhere.
