[Reginald Rutledge]

Dre,

There's no need for me to play. There's no mountains to climb. No championships to win (except the DFW-LOL!).

I think that my role would be best suited as a consultant. I would like to see you guys have to play a person who knows the rules inside out and who could give you the stress levels needed to compete. Mike likes winning championships whereas I like teaching. Mike is a wonderful teacher and he will show you the nuiansces of the system too. I get more satisfaction from seeing guys learn the system and realize the possibilities that they will find out in good time.

Yes, I love the Vikings! I would love to someday play with the Vikings but this is something I think the league should approve. I think Corey hit on a outstanding point of fairness. That's the same point Rose hit on. However, you need a standard to shoot for and Mike is one. He has won 4 DFW crowns, a Texas Shootout title, and a BAMA Blast title. He wants to play. I want to teach!

Let your league decide if its to their best interest if I play. I spoke too soon when I told you I wanted to play but again, it helps having Rose to ground me. We will still come and visit. We've got great plans for the new New York League so I will be around.
