I joined the league back in February after scrolling through r/NFL and seeing an intriguing post about a football sim. I was really excited to join and figure out what the league was all about, so the next morning I made my account and created my player, Fawn Dillmiballs. Initially, I never would've thought the league would come to mean as much as it does now. I think a lot of that is thanks to my first DSFL season with the Kansas City Coyotes. I was selected 69th overall and became a part of a great team, full of active guys in the locker room and a couple of awesome GMs in Butters and Starboy. I almost immediately became hooked, and, thanks to the rona, had plenty of time to chat in the discord and learn to navigate the forums. Then, just as quickly as it had begun, I was moved away from Kansas City and landed in Sarasota on the newly formed Sailfish. Initially, it was a bit of a shock to my system, as I was used to this incredibly active server in KC and was thrown into one with only a handful of members. I didn't know it at the time, but my fellow S22 Sarasoatans and some of the expansion guys would come to mean so much to me. It has now been 9+ months since I joined, and not a morning goes by when I don't check in on discord to see what's going on. Some guys I'd especially like to point out are tmuse, frost, sakrosankt, billy, panda, trop, drizzy, and more recently Smitty, whos been keeping me up to date on his ever-growing signature/poster/funko collection! You guys have made this league so much fun for me, and I'm glad to still be playing in Sarasota with most of you. I think, as a whole, the league has become less of a way to experience what it would be like to have my own professional football career, and more of a way to just interact with everyone in the locker room. I'm still dutifully completing my tasks and updating weekly, but my primary focus isn't really the league anymore, and if that doesn't tell you something about how important the guys I've met in the past 9 months are, I don't know what will. So, as Fawn's career reaches its halfway point (roughly), all I can hope for is that the next few months in the league are filled with just as much fun as the last 9.
