Our Supreme Leader, Kennedy Parker, suffers through his 250th game this weekend.
(With thanks to TheInjuryFactory)
Kennedy Parker has led this league as administrator TWICE. Those of us who understand the complexities of the role and the chore it can eventually become may call him mad, but KP has delivered in spades.
Very soon to be a 250 game player, Kennedy Parker has no real on-field statistics which stand out. He has dominated in services to the league though, winning a Frankston Rover (twice), leading the league twice and being admitted to the hall of fame. He has still managed four All-Sweet FA selections.
But enough from me (na not really, more from me is always good) - here is a collection of thoughts from some of the league's lesser lights:
Favourite KP Memory:

I undergo weekly shock therapy to purge all memories of interacting with Kennedy Parker out of my brain.
Hate
spookism
Before I signed him
The Filth Wizard
Enjoying his first last season when he lived his dream of being a premiership captain and him saving our bacon on the grand final teamsheet deadline.

My favourite KP memory was when he ghost wrote my admin application.
Kidding!
or am I?

Favourite KP memory are the name changes, some really, really ordinary stuff in there. Bless, Close Contest, yikes
KP, a Haiku:
Tonga Bob
Kennedy Parker
You have played two fiddy games
Mazel tov my friend
The Filth Wizard
KP is an elf
Uncontrollably I think.
Lisa needs braces.

once a campaigner
a thousand name changes bloom
still a campaigner
Elton Johns Wig
Sat atop a throne
Legend of the underground
Sweet omnipresence
Wosh

dear kp no one should / celebrate games in the fifties / shame on you for this

KP was a fine admin
Achieved so many things in his career
Philreich got him at last

KP in a sentence:
ShaunDuggan
KP has been always in the shadow of ShaunDuggan and always lingering wherever Duggan goes to the point Duggan wondered whether it was worthwhile getting a restraining order but Duggan decided not to because KP has a cute avatar and is easy on the eyes but if I was to describe KP in one sentence which is this sentence I would describe KP as being easily describable because he is well known for lingering around wherever Duggan goes because Duggan is well known but all jokes aside from Duggan the best way to describe KP is he is in the top echelon of talent in the SFA.
JoshWoodenSpoon
Eat my chungus you worm.

We're really lucky to have had KP around for so long, and I look forward to him not falling into post-Admin oblivion again.
Elton Johns Wig
Underrated just how good KP is, not just as a poster, or for his admin work, but behind closed doors an absolute gem.
Hate
Kennedy Parker is by far and away one of the most important contributors to the Sweet Football Association in its 36-season history and a great human to go with it!
The Filth Wizard
KP is the sort of person that doesn't consider 250 games a real milestone.
spookism
Slightly better than Vanilla
Not fitting into any category I asked for:

KP, well done on 250 games, and congratulations for all of your contributions to the league. Thanks for your most recent admin run, which was smooth and considered. You're comfortably one of the most influential members of Sweet in my 15+ years here. Good on you. #KPRUINS

But in all seriousness, one thing I'll say about KP is he is very intelligent. He learnt more about Python in 4 hours in order to create the new sim program, than I was able to in a 12 week uni course (I have since crossed off Programmer from list of potential future jobs).
He is also a bloody good admin (well, the first time anyway) and a pretty decent poster. Not many have been able to go head to head with KP in a match thread and win the battle.
He is still a massive campaigner and I will always secretly hate him.
Congrats on 250.

The thing I love most about KP is his unique way of thinking, which can turn a match thread in a totally unexpected direction. After they made KP, they broke the mould.

I remember KP from my early days in the Sweet FA, back when he was known was Cloud. He would pretty much float in to threads, drop a few grenades and then leave.
He's done a great job as Admin and as a senior poster at the Swamprats, even if his outstanding tab at the Underground bar is second only to Ant Bear.
The Last Word:
He has provided service to this league like few others. A great poster, player and leader - he has made this place better for us all. Thanks KP, for 250 of the best (excluding okeydoke7)

Media - New year, new Administrator
Hi all, Just a quick update regarding my resignation and the new Administrator. After careful consideration of all applicants who applied, and thank you to those who did, and numerous chats with various people and messages received about who should be the Administrator, I've come to the...
