Roddy B Hangs up the Skates - Benpachi - 09-11-2023
What a wild ride its been...
This was my first Sim league, and it was quite a new experience for me. Lots of people to thank, too many to tag here but I'll try anyway.
@sve7en brought me on board, showed me the ropes, answered my million and a half questions and helped me fix my update thread when I completely borked it my first week (whoo, portals!).
@Jimmysmo27 @slothfacekilla @Frenchie You and so many others made/continue to make the Carolina locker room the best place to be. The crew there helped me through a lot of shit, league-wise and personal, and I wouldn;t be the dude I am today without all those other dudes. Big love, now and always.
And to @Inf1d3l for bringing me in to help build Montreal, I was honoured to be part of it then, and I still am. Thanks to @CampinKiller for keeping me around and giving Roddy several good runs at a cup. Also listening to me piss and moan and make shitty jokes in the war room.
I'm not going anywhere, but retiring my first player made me a little misty-eyed and I just wanted to shout out some thank-yous.
And also share a little of Roddys career, which I think earns him a spot in the Hall of Pretty Good.
