Realized the .com I wrote had no relevance to the actual VHL, so trying to get that moved over to a different thread, ANYWAYS… I’m on my phone doing this at 4am, I’m suffering from Insomnia, hopefully I don’t piss too many people off with anything I say. I’m going to spit a bit about the VHLM here and how I see it right now. The VHLM in my eyes needs a few changes. There’s obviously been a lot of talk around it with Theme Week, and this is not the reason why I’m leaving Houston. I feel teams are still able to pull off the boom/bust cycle if they want, they just build picks one season and meet minimum pick requirements the next season. Or some teams will go for a push and sell their future draft picks, to then be stuck with minimum pick requirements the next season.You can have a 2nd and two 4ths to meet pick minimum requirements, there wasn’t even an active 4th round in this season’s VHLM draft. It may not be intentional but it still can definitely happen. I don’t know if pick requirements should be necessary anymore, or maybe they just need to be touched up. VHLM GMs don’t like them to start with, so I think managing the way waivers are assessed and actually giving the VHLM enough players for three/four rounds to draft each season is key. Houston drafted 24oa and 25oa this season and pretty much every one after that went IA. I understand number of members in the system/VHL are a thing to watch, but we had a lot of teams in the VHLM this season struggling to make a 6-4-1 roster. (Also why is a 6-4-1 roster the sweet spot? Why don’t we push for 9-6-2 rosters? I’m talking about the VHL.) I don’t have a proper solution, but my first instinct would be to assign waivers based on a few things that mostly everyone has already brought up: previous season standings, positional needs by priority, and of course don’t let recreates all join the same team, make them all spread out because we all know they are supposed to be better than 1st Gens. Maybe waivers should be designed in a way that splits up Recreates and 1st Gens into two groups, and then each group of players will be given out, follow their own priority list, I hope that makes sense. The VHLM commish team is amazing and always works well with us GMs so I’m sure something will happen soon enough. We’ve been talking about the waiver system in our private GM thread already all season now. Now the best thing that could happen for me would be to make the minor system one league again. I don’t think the two minor leagues work anymore, they definitely worked for our Covid numbers, I think we need to figure out how to combine them again. Seems like the VHLM has been trying to figure out problems since the VHLE was introduced… but then again I joined the league right around that time, so what do I know, I could be so wrong! Okay switching topics to talk about my player The VHL is extremely exciting right now for Randy Bobandy. Not only has he been hustling for most points on the team, Malmo has been in a dog fight with three other teams for the Victory Cup. It’s a close race but London and Toronto have been making this very hard with recently hot win streaks. Seattle has been hanging out at the top all season long and it is so hard to count them out of the conversation. Bobandy didn’t see much playoff success in Calgary so I’m really excited to see how he does in Malmo. Hopefully he can find his legs again and get these Nighthawks a deep playoff run. I yapped so hard about the VHLM there jeez. Once again please don’t come at me if you don’t like what I’m saying, it’s all my opinions and my thoughts. I’m way too tired.

Yeah I went back last year! We won OUA and then got pumped by Montreal in the Vanier Cup semi finals. I was only the punter last season, I smoked way too much last season and it 100% affected my play. I’m hoping to take over Punting, Kicking and Kickoffs this season though, just gotta put the work in

Welcome to the VHL!

*Addiction Warning* I've finally done it, I've come to terms with my own brain and body and have decided to start my journey of quitting my addiction with weed! I've seen members like @Banackock and @Kisslinger in the past make posts about their struggles and how they've overcome them as well. This has always motivated me but I've never been able to do it myself. I have been struggling with the Flower for three years now and I want to take control of my life again. The best way I can explain my experience with weed is that I have a hyper-active brain, when I'm on the weed I feel like I can calm down and think more clearly. Weed has also controlled my boredom, when I'm bored I love to relax and enjoy my high to enjoy my time. This is not healthy. I was actively smoking dab carts daily, I would always wake up fatigued, I would lose motivation to do daily tasks because I just wanted to get high. I've now transitioned to the sober life, I'm currently on day 5 of no smoking! It's crazy to think that every time I message @Spartan now I won't be stoned My body and mind has been fucked up the past few days. Insomnia, Loss of Appetite.... I've lost 20 pounds this summer from constantly smoking and not taking care of myself (I can definitely gain my weight back in these next few weeks, I'm not stressing) . It's a breath of fresh air to be able to announce this to this community. I see you all as family, being able to better myself for my family makes me so happy. July 2nd is my 23rd birthday. On July 2nd I want to celebrate my birthday sober, I don't remember the last time I did that (drinking or smoking). Is that not kinda sad? I'm very excited and determined to reach my goal of sobriety and to keep pushing further than my upcoming Birthday. I hope anyone struggling with addictions can see this and feel motivated to quit whatever they are going through as well. I feel already that I am more motivated and energized to do more with my life, can't wait to see myself glowing in a week, a month, a year. I have a Football season coming up, I want this bad!!
