Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[Raven]

Good thing manatees are in water cuz they look like they’d have a smelly ass

The league has recently finished its 25th season. Please take the time to celebrate this anniversary by writing about what the league means to you. Whether you've been here for a day or for the last three years, we'd love to hear about your favorite parts and any special memories you'd like to share.

Christ has it really been 25 seasons already? I joined the league after Ballerstorm starting spreading it in the SHL. I think I remember being hesitant at first, because I knew absolutely nothing about American football. Eventually I decided to join as it seemed like great fun to be a part of a new league. I originally was thinking of either making a kicker or a tight end. As kicker was the most basic position and tight end just seemed interesting. I ended up making a kicker, due to it in my mind requiring the least amount of football knowledge and with I created one of the greats in kicking history, maybe not the best ever, but having hold a ton of records since turk retirement until now Alex D is stealing them. It's interesting to think back and imagine what it might have been like making a Tight End. Maybe I could have been competition for Dimirio as he virtually had non until his twilight years.

Anyway I started out by complaining that I couldnt wait till the league started, Nuck yelling at me that if I wanted the league to get going to also pick up a job and help out and so I become an updater (for like a week or so lol) and a banker, which is a position I have held since that day. I was also the person who posted on all the team subreddits for the very first draft, so thanks for all the Reddit karma!

When I joined the league the SHL was still my main league as it were, but over time the NSFL became my main league. I have loved the league since, despite having become less active in recent times. I have lost touch with the newer generation of users and mostly just chill in the Honolulu LR nowadays. However having seen this league grow and going through differnt phases I love it as a child.

Active or not this league will always hold a special place in my heart and I can't wait to see it grow, expand and stay healthy in the future. I imagine by S50 we will have expanded even futher. Maybe we are a 20 team league by that point, if reddit drafts remain harvestable and we retain our user base. Some teams might have rebranded or relocated and we have no clue who the players are who are playing in that year yet. Records might be held by completely other players. Hopefully no teams will be on fire in S50 and we can all live and play together in harmony.
