Playing for Entertainment Purposes Only

Reg,

Sorry I didn't see this thread when it was first written. As I sat here reading it this morning, a lot of thoughts went through my head. It amazes me how similiar we view a lot of the things that go on in this hobby. It also must be noted that many positive things are being done by a lot of good people; so in a sense, there is change happening. Thank you for this thought-provoking post, because it (indeed) provoked my thoughts.

Peace,

Don

I like to play for the competitive reason, I like the feeling of testing what I know about the game.

I like the feeling of being a coach and guiding my players down the feild. Using everything a real coach would in an environment that is safe, friendly, and supports the elements of football in a balance of fairness and strategy.

I love the chess part of the game the most, and with the right type of guys around you will make for a good way to spend time and share in a common love and respect for football and each other.

I just like turning the board on and watching the little guys go.

Don,

I owe you a call this weekend. We need to catch up. I get so much out of the entertainment, of seeing a Mantaray 'Dre come here and compete and act like a kid in a candy store, or seeing Kevin Boddie go 3-3 on a successful Road Warrior swing, or seeing an Oscar Woodard (former champion) comeback being a part of the peanut gallery.

I just love the energy at one of our games. Guys intent on whopping each others butt but shaking hands afterwards and gettin' a laugh off of it.

The politics and all the other shenanigans, I've been past done with those antics. I will definitely try not to waste guys time reading any post on debates of the game anymore. It get's me no where and it gives the reader "tired head" after ahile.

.....after talking to you and Don Smith I echo these words;

It gets me nowhere!!! Just having fun and enjoying the game is what I want to do. Who cares on how one plays or which way is better then the other. The main reason we play this game is for the joy it brings us and to keep us with football year round when the big boys rest after the superbowl. I know that when the NFL season is over MF keeps my Jones going until the next season starts back up.

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!

RIGHT ON. IF you don't have fun, don't play, cause you bring others down.
AS I said before about RJ playing in the DFW, HE brings fun, laughter, and trash
talking. OH,by the way, HE GOT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MERRY XMAS
