First I would like to congratulate Anthony Burgess for bringing home the title; he coached an excellent game. Next I'd like to congratulate my buddy Mike Carr for not only making it to the Big Dance, but for having the will power to fight until the very end. I learned a lot about the both of you this weekend.

Watching the MPFL system played at the highest level was very impressive. I can certainly understand why you guys like the system so much.

It was good to finally meet the Decal master in person. Nice job on those teams Bill. It was also good seeing Adrian and Kevin again. I thought the three of you did a great job managing the Big Game, so that the coaches could focus on managing their teams.

I want thank all of you for the warm welcome and great fellowship. I had a great time at the Big Game, and at the sportsbar in Crystal City for the "After Superbowl" dinner and drinks. Burgess recommended the ribs, so most of us ordered ribs. Man that place laid out a slab of ribs that was longer than the keyboard that I'm typing this post on, and yes they were good.

I also want to thank Anthony for his hospitality, and for putting me up this weekend. I appreciate it my friend.

Thanks for letting me be a part of the festivities.

Peace,

Don Smith
