That's it in a nutshell. My hands are clean and my conscience is clear.
Watching guys like Tim, Al, Phil, Dre, Adrian, and many others just changed what the hobby is all about.
There is Adrian Baxter arguably the best tournament player in history relaxing, looking for a scrimmage, and then busting his tail to make sure I understand a ruleset.
Then there is Tim who told me he can't get his players to run right, but coming to the Convention because he truely LOVES the game.
Then there is Al who brings such a unique approach to the game. On the surface it looks like Fairies, Sabsquatches and Clowns. But upon closer inspection there is Ray Nitscke, Charles Mann, and some serious thought and research. He reminds me of my cousin Belmont Moore, who used to do the same thing. And . . . the players can really play.
Then there is Phil, who just wants to see his team run like the real Colts of past years. To see his runner leading the league right now in rushing makes me feel I was a part of someone getting the joy they seek from the hobby.
Watching Dre's face light up while we prepared players for his team was really triumphant for me because Dre is an introvert until he starts promoting the hobby.
I am happy as I have ever been. Out the shadows. Free as a bird.
Life is great. Now if I could just get my hands on Tim Young's team. Seeing that guy playing a team that does whatever the heck he wants would probably bring tears to my eyes.
The cream always rises. People realize who I truly am and appreciate what I represent. Winning in local or national leagues is irrelevent. Enhancing this hobby and playing experience to the truly deserving is my focus.
Refocus!, I'm reloading!
Like it says on the Kronk Gymnasium door:
"Winners never quit, and quitters never win". It's just your definition of what winning is. I have explained my definition in the aforementioned examples.
