7) My experience with the league has been rather pleasant. I am used to dot sim style football from a game I used to play back in the day called Goal Line Blitz. It captured a lot of the things I loved about a community and feeling part of a team. As well as the creation of player(s) and developing them through multiple seasons. It was fun and exciting, and it was something new for me at the time. With this league, it brought back a lot of the excitement again. I have noticed the community is rather closer and seems like a bunch of good people that really have one common goal in mind, and it is to have a fun time with sim style football. I’ve really reached out to GuitarMaster116 as he’s been super helpful with all of my rather mundane questions, and I appreciate his willingness to go above and beyond to help me figure out my place in the league, but also to be successful as well. There is so much information within this league that I can easily be lost at times, but it is nice to have someone to hold my hand through everything so to speak. It has been great, and I look forward to the help I will further receive when/if my player gets drafter. As far as implementing certain ideas and offering suggestions, that is really not my thing. I may pick up some ideas along the way, but right now it is too soon for me to even think about that. My focus right now, is to be able to take in as much information with this game, take the time to learn it all, and find ways to contribute to the community so I can be a long standing member with this league. I am honestly glad I came across the league’s reddit post on r/NFL. As I read it, it sounded like something right up my alley, and I am truly appreciative of it. It is going to sound a little cheeky, but I was willing to drop some money if I had to for this league. That is how much I wanted to be a part of this league. I hope my Offensive Lineman can be one of the best in the league, and I can’t wait for the season to start. Thank you again GuitarMaster116, you’ve been a great help! (405 words)
8) Cade Williams was born in his hometown of Boring, OR. The name of the town represents the status of it quite well. The only interesting part of the town is the fact that you honestly trick yourself to go there thinking it may be an Iceland/Greenland situation, but in fact, it is rather an oxymoron. He was rather an unknown coming out of his middle school days. He played middle school ball while being home schooled at a rather small size (5’6, 150 lbs.). His middle school coach had admitted at times that he thought about letting him go from the team because of his consistent trait to not finish plays. “There were times where he said sorry to anyone he may have hurt. Basically, a teddy bear.” Right before his freshman year, his coach talked to him about how important it was to put football on your mind only when he was out there. He emphasized that none of the other kids cared how sorry Cade was when he may have hurt or been too aggressive to them, and Cade took that to heart. That freshman year, he grew to 6’ and was close to 200 lbs. and he trained non-stop while developing a rather mean streak in him. And because he kept growing, he was always more on the leaner side, being an athlete rather than an Offensive Lineman. Most of his playing time did not occur until his junior year where he was close to his size now. He started all 9 games of his junior year, leading the Sandy Pioneers to a 5-4 record, where he only allowed a handful of sacks. His senior year would be one of the best in Sandy Pioneers history, as he was able to lead them to an 8-1 record heading into the playoffs. But because of a family tragedy, he was left to care for his bed-riddled mother, and not participate in the playoffs. Thinking he needed to earn money to care for his mother, he took a full-time job at a local grocer to pay for the medical treatments she needed. He would then find an ad online about a league that could be able to help pay for his mother’s treatments. Cade called the league office to see if he qualified, and sure enough, he did. If Cade gets drafted, he can finally have the chance to bring Boring, OR to more than just an oxymoron, but rather, a polished brand. (414 words)
