NMLF: The next phase

As a player, my rookie year was in the old PSFL in 1995, where I was a teammate of DFW Xpress head coach Truman Vernon with the Dallas Vipers. Later, in 1997 after moving to the Mesquite Falcons in 1996, I played with Dewayne Gordon, a rookie DE, who would later coach the Dallas Xtreme, Desoto Spartans, and ultimately the North Texas Seminoles. Later, the UPFL was formed, and I moved on to the Dallas Titans for the 2002-2003 seasons. The TUFL came on the scene for me in 2004, and I had the chance to play with the Texas Coyotes and Dallas Xpress. Now, I am the Commissioner of the brand new NMLF. You see, leagues come and go, and yes, football leagues existed before the TUFL, and will exist after the NMLF as well. A popular misconception is that our league is trying to take over the TUFL by adding TUFL franchises, and that we are "at war" with them. Not true. I have many friends who coach and play in that league, and I wish them well. The NMLF's existence is not based on the TUFL or its teams. As to those that badmouth the NMLF, they just aren't relevant. People bump their gums and run their mouths all the time, as this is a free country. The NMLF is excited about the coming season, and future seasons, as we have big things planned. I know 2009 will be great, and wait until you get a load of 2010. The NMLF: Truly a higher level.
