Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[flyeaglesfly29]

While this is our 25th Anniversary as a league, this past season was also a personal anniversary for me. Season 25 marked 10 seasons that I have been a part of this league. Coming in to the league in season 15 after seeing this league on a Reddit post from my real life friend @Rradum, we decided to give this thing a go because we were bored at work. Little did we know that more than a year and a half later we would still be here on a daily basis. Rradum and I have both seen a lot of people come and go, seen "policies" change, and between the two of us we've also held quite a few jobs! I don't think that either of us would have ever thought we'd be around this long, let alone the fact that our spouses would ever get to the point where they understand what we are talking about when we just say "it's league stuff".

Almost immediately after joining the then NSFL, Rradum and I became GMs down in Kansas City, where we would learn the ropes before both of us eventually went on to be ISFL GMs. Along the way, I know we have both met and learned from a ton of people! Since joining, I have been a part of five different teams between my 2 players. Portland, Kansas City, Chicago, Yellowknife, and London. 

In each place, I can honestly say that I've met someone that impacted me in some way in this league. In Portland it would have to be PDX, who we all love and miss around here! In KCC, I got the opportunity to deal with someone who was "something of a running back himself" in Ryan Leaf! Being the first pick ever for the Chicago franchise, I got a chance to learn from Oles and Muford and watch a franchise start from the ground up. Yellowknife would be my next stop and the place that I have spent the most time in learning from folks like Shady, BigRed, TC, and Manic. And my last stop was London, where I spent a few seasons help build that franchise from a player's standpoint when I was their first ever pick with my current player.

I say all of this so that I can explain that I've made some lasting friendships here. Sure I've met quite a few people that I have no interest in talking to ever again, but the majority of my interactions have been awesome and at times unforgettable! That's what this league is all about and the reason I believe it will continue for another 25 seasons!
