Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[TheRocheLimit]

I joined the ISFL (back then it was the NSFL) during one of the r/nfl recruitment drives. The premise seemed interesting to me but I put it off for a while. Eventually I decided to check it out and created my player. Honestly, the main reason I actually got around to joining is because of all the help from RainDelay22. Rain answered all of my noob questions, and was generally very helpful with everything. As it turns out, I had joined just before the draft. My player fell in the draft (rightfully so as I hadn't done much yet) but I was eventually drafted by the Norfolk Seawolves. I remember watching the draft stream and hearing Bex announce that I had been picked by the Seawolves. Bex said some kind things about me from my limited time in the league and that was super nice.

If Rain was the reason I joined the league then Norfolk was the reason I stayed. Being in that locker room while I was figuring things out was key to my success. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in that locker room welcomed me with open arms. I'd mention individual people by name but I'm sure I'd miss someone and then I'd feel terrible. Just know that when you hear "Norfolk Best Folk" it's true. Having that locker room as a foundation was amazing. I still try and peek in from time to time and I can tell the tradition of excellence is continuing there.

After two seasons in the DSFL with Norfolk I moved on to the Honolulu Hahalua. Talk about a sweet logo. Being a part of a brand new team was exciting. Starting from the bottom and working our way up was a lot fun. And although my time there was relatively short it was really great to be a part of building toward something. I definitely wish those folks a ton of luck going forward.

And that brings me to my current squad, the New York Silverbacks. After being left unprotected by Honolulu I ended up going first overall in the new expansion draft. I was shocked and flattered. Going from a late pick in the DSFL draft to first overall in the expansion draft was a hell of a journey. I'm thrilled with being a part of another brand new team and I look forward to helping this group be the best they can be. Oh, and a big shoutout to Woelkers and BWest for being fantastic GMs.

This is my first player is this league, but I doubt it will be my last. Damn near everyone I've been in touch with here in the ISFL has been kind and generous with their time, and for me that's what this league is all about. Lots of good folks here. I look forward to seeing what the future holds.
