Gameday Experience in the DFWEFL

[rjackson]

Well, new league, new experience, new competition and an eye opener. Yesterday I made a trek down to Dallas to finally meet Reginald Rutledge and the DFWEFL gang, better known as the peanut gallery. The stars were out in Dallas to see Mike Robertson against Robert 'RJ' Jackson. Pep, Earn-Rob, Oscar, Lil Oscar, Hud, RR, and the wonderful Rutledge family. A game in which two former champs was both looking forward too. It all started with a pre-game meal at Cracker and Barrel Restaurant. The pre-game meal covered a bunch of topics in which brought laughter and some real statements. After getting the grub on and down, we received a call from the first referee to show at up for the showdown.

We left the restaurant bill in the hands of the lovely Rose Rutledge, who if anyone has met Mrs. Rutledge would say the same. A wonderful, warm and funny person I must say. Hold up let me say this first, when I first got to Reggie house I was unsure of the address so I rang the doorbell and said is Reggie or Mike here and by never seeing Mrs. Rutledge before she kindly said, "You have the wrong house". Immediately I begin to say wow!! Then she broke out in a laugh and said I am just kidding come on in. I fell out laughing!! From then I knew this would be like no other experience. When entering the monument of the MF, which hold up means "Miniature Football", I know what you all were thinking that's why I had to clear that up. I seen the Wrigley Field creation first hand and all I can say is unbelievable!!! Then you continue to walk around the Hall of Fields and just say wow!!!

Okay back to the game. After we had the sod taking care of the coin toss came in which I elected to defer to the 2nd half. Mike Robertson took the ball and it was on and cracking. After about 3 or 4 plays Mike Robertson scored and I was like wow!!! Kickoff came and we had a decent return to about the 34 yard line. 1st play from scrimmage Jim Brown went off right tackle for a 66 yard touchdown it was knotted up at 7 a piece. That was a close I as would get Mike Robertson opened the air assault and torched the secondary. Bad defensive sets killed the Browns. Trying to play the way I did in the LAEFL will not work in this league. Man Mike Robertson is a pin point passer and echoes around the house is that isn’t the best!!! That s@#t scared the $$$$ out of me!!!! The final score of the game was 35-13 Bengal’s. After the humbling ********** whooping I so graciously took, Reggie looked at me with those prophet like eyes and said RJ you will be alright my son everyone gets an ********** whooping around here, don’t feel bad!!! I took those words to heart and said Reg I know what I have to do next time.

In this league you have to have safety’s and you must, I say you must have a pass rush, if you don’t you will continue to get your head handed to you. Folks if you want to get in a league that has some quality coaches and gives that fellowshipping mentality this is one you have to look at.

Reggie man from the bottom of my heart to the top of my dome bro, I LOVE YOU man and thanks again for letting me into such a prestigious league. See you in a couple of weeks. To my other DFWEFL brother’s, man I can’t wait to get down there for a whole weekend and hang out wit ya’ll. Peace!!!!
