Default The Pleasure Was Definitely All Ours

RJ,

It's like you and I have been friends all our lives so I knew it would be easy. The guys here really were glad to see you as many came out on a holiday to watch you and MRob play.

I felt bad on you leaving out that night headed back to Spring, Texas. You are always welcome to bunk at my house.

As for Rose, thanks for the comments on my girl. Like Old School said, she is no doubt the glue in this family and in my miniature football family as well. Guys know they can come to Rose's house and get a good meal and play some miniature football whenever they want. And once you really start hanging around Rose, you'll ask yourself "Why in the heck is she lowering her standards for a bum like Reg?" She is without a doubt the one person who constantly motivates and push me. And thanks about the kind words of my kids. They were just putting on an act for you.

As for the league, sometimes seeing is believing. What Al told you about the fellowship is true. These guys come from all walks of life but because we enjoy the game so much, being around each other is easy. You did not see the entire "Peanut Gallery" in full effect. It's about 30 coaches who heckle each other during the course of a game. As you saw, we "ribbed" MRob as we did you. We're just trying to get you ready for that championship run.

You played one of the Hall of Fame coaches in the DFW. Your performance was very good. Nothing to be ashamed of in the least! You were from the game for 2 years so obviously, there will be some rust. However, it is obvious you have championship heart and that will take you a long way.

Yes, in this league, the competition is very good. Everyone runs different schemes which will give you a variety of looks as you make a run for the playoffs. We expect you to be a part of the DFW for many years to come and recruit from the Houston area to make for a separate division down yonder!

So welcome RJ to the DFW and we look forward to you being a part of the Peanut Gallery and taking your place among the league's elite.

Reg
