What is with these weasels running the Tacoma Cobras? First they lurk outside our practices and games getting into our players ears about coming over to them and playing "pro" ball and now they are calling and emailing our video production guy and telling him he would be better off doing the work for a real "pro" team than he would for the Shockers.
The Cobras are just another in a long line of merc it up Saturday superstar teams and the people running the show for them are weasels who cannot be trusted.
They claim they want to distance themselves from us, yet they lie and whatever else they can to recruit players we already recruited, film crews we have done business with for years etc.
Boycott the Cobras. From top to bottom they are lying, cowardly weasels. Not the players but the weasels running the team.

Wow Maty. THIS is not the way to handle situations like this. AND, for the record, this past season, we only had 2 former Shockers on our roster. Not a mass exodus of your players coming over, and I am one of the people who put together the 2010 Cobras, and never once did I go to a Shockers practice for a player. I have no idea where yall even practice or play. Do we recruit? Hell yeah! Thats how we achieved back to back champ status. I am CONSTANTLY recruiting, and so is our ownership. Do we recruit semi-pro players? Hell yes! The ones I believe are good enough to play with us. Nothing wrong with recruiting players, no matter where you get them from. But trust, we dont have many ex-Shockers at all. Now the film thing, it was brought to our attention that the Shockers wouldnt be around next season. THATS the reason for pursuing the film crew. Maty, I have met you on several occasions, you seem like a mature individual. But the mature way to handle this situation would have been to contact Cobra ownership and hash it out person to person...

I stand by what I wrote. Justify all you want Keith. The fact is representatives from your merc squad came to practices and games of ours and lied to our players in an attempt to get them playing over there. Try finding guys and introducing them to the sport instead on cannibalizing other teams.
You keep saying your goal is to distance the Cobras from semipro football yet you continually show up here on this semipro message board, you continually recycle the same semipro players and you continually try to get everyone to believe you are a legitimate pro team. Interviewing players for some internet tv show is not preparing them for the world of professional athletics. It a cool thing at this level and lets be honest. The Cobras are at this level. They are a semipro/amateur team with delusions of grandeur.
One of the reasons I got out of this is because of snakes like the Cobras management who can't build a team on their own. They have to try tearing other teams down to get where they want to be. Perhaps a courtesy call or email from Cobras management would have been the mature move or is it that only people responding to the Cobras and their underhanded tactics have to be the mature ones?

Like I said Maty, if you want to talk out these things, contact Theo himself. THIS forum is not the place for that, and Cobra business will no longer be aired on this forum, neither will any PDFL business. I will remain here, cuz I CAME from semi-pro, and I still have love for the semi-pro game. But the PDFL will have nothing else to do with this forum. He is taking the steps neccessary to remove our league logo from this site, along with our helmets, etc...

How is he doing this when I haven't been contacted and I RUN & STARTED THIS BOARD??? And NO the PDFL will not be removed from our topics, because this is a public and FREE FORUM!! It is not illegal to post a logo on here nor team helmets! Illusions of granduer are only that!! I look at the PDFL and I see a wanna be UFL: only difference is the UFL is LEGIT! Bull, I respect the player you are, but your relentless support of something that isnt what they "SAY" they are is sad! You dont get paid, you guys arent on Comcast & I can only wait to see how this SLC & Boise team travel and how yall travel there! Yes, many people from your organization embellish, lie and flat out exxagerate who the Cobras are and what the PDFL is! I hear people ask me if I have heard of the PRO TEAM COBRAS? And all I can do is laugh! I hope you can separate yourself from the monster you call the PDFL and notice that all the claims of how different your league is only make you look more similar to my "DEFUNCT REC LEAGUE" who makes no promises but seems to be getting WWWAAAAYYYY BEETTTTTEEERRR!!!

Duante, I support the PDFL cuz thats what I want to do! Like I told you, I dont get paid, I aint in it for the money. I see a league with lots of potential, and I want to nurture it, and grow it into something special, THATS why the relentless support. AND, like I said, I had a huge hand in building the 2010 Cobras. This brings me to Meadows again. The players that left the Ravens were ALL my friends and ex-teammates. I RECRUITED them to the Cobras, nobody dangled any money in front of them. So whos spreading rumors, hmmmmm??? Fellas, the hatred has to stop sometime! The PDFL aint perfect. Neither is the PFL, WWFA, NAFL, etc. We are making strides to try and be a legit pro league. Whats going to keep us down is all the negativity and hatred yall spew. For instance, Duante, when someone asked you about our league, why couldnt you just say, "See for yourself" intead of laugh. THATS hatred at its highest level cuz you never even been to a game to form an opinion of your own...

That's the problem with so many leagues. Teams of opposing leagues are not bound by each others rules. This will only stop when treaties are signed and all owners come together forming one league with one enforcement. Then again it may never stop because we have both AM, PRO lites and new semi-pro leagues/teams coming and going all the time.
The Government is always looking for money. Here's a suggestion, They should require a permit and Tax the shit out of new forming leagues and teams.
One nice thing is that we won't have semi-pro football in heaven because its too shady. ;D

Alright Jones...spin it the way you want, but you played the "Shockers are folding card" 3-4 months ago and we set you straight then about that, and now you are still playing that when trying to justify back dooring them on their video guy. That's the funny thing about operating with honesty and integrity...people tend to give you that same respect back, which is why our film guy and recruits are quick to report when they detect sleazy tactics going on. And I figured you'd use the "they are my friends, response". The Shockers had a couple of guys who knew the entire Tacoma Warriors squad...they were asked specifically NOT to recruit that teams' players. Maty recruited NEW athletes, while players from other teams left and contacted them on their own accord. Even with the Shockers - Mavericks rivalry, Maty still encouraged a Pac Lutheran player to contact Nathan about playing for the Mavericks (a direct league rival) after he planned to play for the Shockers but had to relocate. That's the difference between teams that do things the right way, and ones that are parasites off of other teams. Actually, it wasnt me who said anything about the shockers. Ask Maty, I have given the Shockers nothing but respect since yalls inception. How YALL recruit is on YALL, we dont have to do it YOUR way, but yes, the players I recruited from the Ravens had a choice. They could have stayed. I gave them no money, just told them to come check us out, and they obviously liked what they saw...

AND, I will CONTINUE to recruit whatever players I think can play with us, no matter where they come from. I love winning, and I WILL win...

And im sure we would be good friends if we met and hung out. However, I dont agree with your support of shady teams like the Stallions and now Cobras. It doesnt look good upon you as far as how you roll in semi-pro/pro football. Its things like this that has gotten the NWFL league where they are today and possibly the Stallions.

It's funny ppl here some shit and it's gospel . Who cares ? Not this guy and not the mavs . Act like players don't change teams with someone in their ears .
I gotta say . Tate both orozcos and our cb boughton were all walla walla stars . And guess what ? We will have more players this year .
Why don't we just worry about the PFL and the players and teams that are participating . My two cents , I get a little tired of getting on here and ppl are just running mouth and talking garbage . It's old .
