what I would need -WORKER BEES!!!!

I have no doubt that if I had WORKER BEES, I could build a great miniature football league.

I have always imagined having a league in the DFW where everyone worked hard, not just want to play, but understand the value of promotion, of playing games on schedule, and supporting my products. I did so much of the work from recruiting to promotions to playing to giving people the place the play and crash/sleep. Giving away things/equipment was just the normal routine.

So much was taken for granted. Not enough was given. When you could do what we were capable of as a league, it would have been great. The Road Warrior concept was started there in 95 when I asked Frank Johnson to join. It ended with Jim Davis and Norbert Revels. Those were good times and great guys to bring into a league.

I loved the competitive spirit of the coaches and the willingness to help each other out. What I hated was the "Bigger than the whole" mentality of some and the rolling of the eyes of some when you tried to promote the league.

In the past few days I had some approach me about being apart of a new league in the DFW. I am always intrigued but after 17 years of running and being associated with a league, my thoughts are that WORKER BEES definitely would have to be in place.

Competition is great but you don't have to win every time! Win a game and lose a league!
