Trey,
Even if you were there, your opinion is bias. I'm just going off of what was reported by legitimate reports from reporters covering game, not a employee or their webmaster. 500 or 1500 is less then half of what the game would have pulled in Amarillo. The pre-game practice report was from the reporter from Amarillo, not me. Do you think it was proper for the teams not to have warm-ups? Hands down you deliver the best web presence for them compared to any of the other leagues, BUT the LSFL product and motives beyond that is suspect.
Perfume on a turd (The Championship) is still a turd.
Congrats to the Amarillo Venom!

Why belittle these participants because another organization failed to meet its obligations Vinny?
My referral to the LSFL championship game as the "Sloppy Seconds Bowl" seems quite appropriate to me.
1. The league has to nullify the membership of one of its invited teams before a down is played (Mesquite).
2. It was never really clear what was going on between Kramer and Dittman in terms of the ownership of Rio Grande Valley and Corpus Christi.
3. Kramer pulls the plug on the best team in the league (Houston) in mid-season.
4. The LSFL holds its first championship game at a neutral site???? Ridiculous!
My comment was more about the manner in which the league was run this season, in a word, it was SLOPPY. And there is no denying that Houston was a superior team to both Amarillo and Rio Grande Valley. No offense intended for Amarillo, it was not necessarily their fault, but it was a game for SECOND place in a very sloppily run league. In light of Lew's comments, maybe I should have called it the "Toilet Bowl".

Congrats to the Venom. They truely turned that team around after having a slow start several moves were made and they finished the season strong.
Come on... I'm not sure I would put much weight in what super dave henry has to say in his comedy routine. So the kickers did'nt get to kick, so what they are just waterboys with pads.
...guy's for a 1st year venture yes they could have done things differently which I mentioned a couple of posts ago. I know some have commented about Houston--- they were cheating and circumventing the salary cap overpaying players...
Dittman owned all 3 teams ( not Kramer ) until he sold the Laredo Franchise last month. I think the reason there were no warmups was due to the fact that the league put on 3 concerts before the game and had to clear the field. ( yes in hindsight they should have been allowed to warmup prior-- which I would imagine would be the case next year )
Any other questions and I'll do my best to answer them for you.
Vinny do you not remember the days of the NIFL- well I do.... travel teams..cancellations et all...
Darlene earned a mulligan or two in my book for dealing with Tommy and Dittman ALL these years.
Everything was/is correctable.
Trey, not bad. PIFL had you, but if Dane's around, you'll be fine in the long run.
Lew, I've been meaning to ask you this question for years: When did you realize that electric had to be the stupidest childhood boy's toy of our generation?
And Vinny, saw hello to your mother for me...

@Dan, I still have not realized it! I own 4 Video Game stores and would still rather sit down in front of my board then play on my TV. Half the fun is painting the teams and I of course recreated a better system of play. Still stuck in the 60's my friend. And I'm the best commissioner their is, NONE of my leagues or teams have ever folded or moved, EVERY scheduled game has been played, NO games have ever been played by replacement players, and we have never had a work stoppage because of a STRIKE! LOL this post made my day! Thanks for asking!

Sounds like a lovely little world.
P.S.: PM me a link so I can purchase some of my son's video games from you. Two reasons: 1) You deserve my business and 2) Since I would be a customer, that would make me always be right....

To further derail this thread, it there anything better than a top loading NES and Super Tecmo Bowl? I once ran Bo Jackson for 1099 Yards... in a single game...
