Playing for Entertainment Purposes Only

[Reginald Rutledge]

his league and the people and talent in that league. Jeff was right on.

It's guys like Robert "RJ" Jackson who I have never met in person but will meet this week for the first time. RJ and I have been like childhood brothers who never knew each other. We entertain each other on the telephone. When RJ first called to join the league, he and I put a few other coaches on the phone to welcome him to the league. If RJ recalls, it was not your usual pleasantries of "Nice to have you in". These guys, Pep, Earnest and Ron Temple along with DeWone are all a part of our "Peanut Gallery". Everyone's in it! They get on and began to berate RJ! For some, that may have been offensive! For RJ, it was right down his alley! RJ began to give them the same treatment. At that point, the guys knew RJ could withstand the pressures of what we put some of these coaches through. RJ passed the test and really entertained in his assessment of these coaches.

When RJ comes here next weekend, these same guys will embrace him, help him, and get him in on the Peanut Gallery. As RJ become "rooted" in the DFW, he will share in the experience, the entertainment of what we do, and walk away "Win or Loose" having the best experience of his MF experience.

It's guys like Manataray 'Dre who adds excitement just by his enthusiasm. People here genuinely love 'Dre. What he brings to this league can not be measured in wins or losses but by the character and supportive nature. 'Dre takes a ribbin' like everyone else but 'Dre is a part of what's so entertaining about the DFW.

Then there's Kevin Boddie from Washington. This guy's like a kid at a candy store. I've never seen a 40+ year old guy that needs a sedative to play MF. His presence adds entertainment and hype to what we do. He's one of the surprising rookies who has come in and mastered the rules in a favorable manner.

We are entertained by the sheer joy of making each other laugh! If you've never experienced what we do here in Texas, you have got to find your way here for the 2007-2008 Super Bowl on February 28 thru March 2. The games will be for entertainment purposes ONLY and the Lombardi Crown!
