(S24) - Asher Montain - Retirement

[Attopax]

After 12 long years, the Season 36 Ultimus will be Asher Montain's final game.

He finishes his career with a very respectable:

486 Tackles (6th in Franchise History)
57 Tackles-For-Loss (1st in Franchise History)
72 Sacks (2nd in Franchise History)
1 Safety
12 Forced Fumbles (4th in Franchise History)
8 Fumble Recoveries (3rd in Franchise History) 

+ whatever he gets today.

I joined this league with @Amidships, @Kyamprac, @Tonzy, and @RDBSouthPaw as something to do while quarantine was in full effect. While I wouldn't say it was something I never expected to be interested in, there is probably podcast audio of me unequivocally stating that I had no interest in becoming a General Manager. Low and behold, I spent a few seasons in Management Chat attempting to build Honolulu into the paradise I knew it could be. It turned into a two year ride that left our group far more rich in new friends than we could have ever anticipated.

There is no way to do this without forgetting to tag someone, so I shall only tag GMs!

To London: Thank you for being my first taste of sim leagues. Specifically to @Sylphreni, thank you for giving me such a good experience being away from my friends. You definitely made that locker room what it was. And thank you again for giving our group such a hysterically comical D&D adventure -- still a highlight of my time in the league.

To Kansas City: Thank you for drafting me as high as you did. I don't think I ever knew whose call it was to pick me, so I will thank both @Buttersqauch101 and @Matty7478 as they are who ultimately gave me a taste of War Room. I thank you for that. I can only hope that I lived up to the investment. I'm still salty that we didn't take home that S23 Ultimini.

To Honolulu: Look at what we accomplished! When I arrived, our War Room could be counted on 1 hand, and we would hemorrhage star talent every season. #@Raven, thanks for creating such a cool team and having me be one of the first first round picks. We managed to band together and build a championship contender. As for my term as General Manager, @siddhus, thank you for putting up with me. It was a pleasure to work with you. And, honestly, all other credit goes to @Number 82 and @124715... I know I wasn't supposed to tag non-GMs, but you both know you were basically Shadow GMs. Thanks for going above and beyond. You made me look good. To my picks, especially those in War Room, you are my greatest pride from my GM tenure.

@r0tzbua, @Kyle, @WhatAmUs, @Philliesphan96  - Stumbling across you lot on this crazy, wide internet is nothing short of a blessing. Looking forward to many more years of y'all being around.

To the OG Crew (Amid, Kya, Tonzy, and South): You know how much a love y'all. I wonder what adventure we will undertake next?

As for my future, anyone tracking earning has seen the sharp cliff I have fallen off due to work and personal life obligations. Therefore, I will probably be taking a season off, but I will still very much be around as your resident Head of Appeals, and I look forward to making a glorious return shortly.

Here is to going out as a Champion!

Aw man this is tough. Legendary player, goated GM, and one of the best teammates and war roommates over the 9 seasons we've shared on this wild ride. Let's go out with a bang tonight.
