Dose of Reality,
On this day of thanks I found that I am thankful for my Mother and my lady and the friends that I have in and out of work and football. I am also Thankful for what my Father taught me during his time on this earth and what he continues to teach me in my thoughts.
When it comes to friends and the true definition of what a friend is, I have the perfect example. He is my best friend Jordan. Most of you would not like him because he hates football. There are things he likes that I don’t like too. But we accept these things with each other because we are Best Friends. He will sit through a whole football game with me because he knows its what I want to do. He also knows that I will miss a football game to do something that he wants to do. That’s Friendship.
Now for the reason as to why I brought this up. When it comes to friends we ignore and/or accept the things that we don’t like about them. But when it comes to people that we don’t consider friends we are quick to become haters of them because they have a different agenda or plan or idea of how they want things to go.
I see on this board people hating on the Cobras and the PDLF, cutting them down every chance they get. Same goes with the NWCCFL. Everyone that dogs them always has this righteous reason as to why. Like they are better than them. And I will say this, All the hate talk is coming from some (not all) of the people that is involved in the PFL. Now I am not hating on the PFL. This is completely an observation. I actually support what the PFL is doing for football in the NW. But facts are facts. No one from the other two leagues have hated on what the PFL is doing.
Should I end this statement here? Is my point made? Even on this day of thanks I see hate spewed. Yes I know its fun to talk trash on these boards. You all know I am more than willing to get involved. (I could put a “but” here.) Naw!
Again, not hating on anyone here, just making an observation and writing down my thoughts. I do this often. I just don’t always publish them.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
What are you thankful for today???

I am also a High school coach and I found it insulting for grown men to lie to kids about their affiliation with school. Our owner of the Bearcats talked with parents of kids at their "championship game" who fel t misguided and lied to. The PDFL lmao is a joke. and there lies to players of promises of paying yhem and then denial on here that players get paid make it hard to respect them. I am not hating, just stating facts. lastly, fluffing things of national tv exposure, pay and being a "pro" league without anything to substantiate it also makes us look like fools!

Hey Coach Clark, we've only spoken a few times and only met once I think. As a rep for the PFL I only see a few people dogging other leagues and it's always the same few people who are not associated with ANY league right now or only from people barely associated. We all know Duante is a trash talking idiot. NO one is safe from him. that's why he created this board. Mark Meadows, Steve Matychowiak and Rob Rarey aren't exactly spokespeople for our league. They don't speak for all of us. I don't believe Mark and Maty are blindly trying to dis the PDFL but are affected personally when it comes to the Shockers.
Having said that I personally know people who were told they were going to get paid in the PDFL here in Bellingham and are still waiting. Not smack talking (no opinion) just facts.
I don't know anything about the "college" teams but if they are misrepresenting football for the sake of making a profit or are over-achievers blowing it then they will suffer their own repercussions.
As for all the smack talk that goes on on this board and others we need to ban these boards for a more positive one that is unbiased and would be run by someone who would monitor it, but honestly would we all abandon this board??? or do we treasure pure honesty no matter how negative? Positivity is boring in these times of the tabloid and 'reality' dramas taking over our TV's. LOL.
I am thankful for all the positivity that normally comes from the Bulldog Organization as a whole. We were tested in the biggest way ever on Nov. 13th but I still believe we handled ourselves with class. On Monday the county council votes on a holiday here in Whatcom County that will be Bellingham Bulldogs Day. Wouldn't that be something? I would be thankful for that. I won't stop trying to legitimize minor league football until all cities embrace their teams the way Bellingham does.

Jeff,
Bulldog Day, thats cool! You guys help make huged strides for football in the NW. I am glad to see one of the classiest teams from the NW to represent. Congrats on a great first 2 seasons.
I really am not up for discussing/defending what I said above. Just thoughts that I wanted to share. Didn't think anyone would really even care. lol
As for banning these boards. Maybe not a great idea. Obviously don't have links on the teams/league websites to here. But for the most part this message board is the best way for us to keep updated on the happenings of nw football. especially those of us that have been kept out of the "elite and morally rightious" pfl. ;-)

I don't like the fact that people pick on leagues that if they aren't legit they will go away on their own. What I meant is not eliminating boards altogether but would everyone agree to a board without all the BS. Where people could talk civil to each other, all leagues were represented and everyone agrees to be regulated on their speech beforehand so we can act like civilized adults. No one gets banned-just regulated. if we are ever going to legitimize this sport this type of board needs to go. I would be petrified if my sponsors knew of a board like this exists they can look at. I will build it and find the right people to regulate it if everyone agrees to it. there's only about 20-25 of us who are on here anyway. thanks for the compliment Sean. |

Having said that, I personally know people who were told they were going to get paid in the PDFL here in Bellingham and are still waiting. Also, claiming to be paid is not uncommon for those with inadequacy issues. If one player on the team, or even in the league, is getting paid, or even just makes the claim, then there are plenty of players who will be compelled to make the same claim for fear that others will think less of them. I won't stop trying to legitimize minor league football until all cities embrace their teams the way Bellingham does. Wouldn't it be nice if all teams/leagues conducted themselves in a manner that made your mission much easier. |

] Mark Meadows, Steve Matychowiak and Rob Rarey aren't exactly spokespeople for our league. They don't speak for all of us. I don't believe Mark and Maty are blindly trying to dis the PDFL but are affected personally when it comes to the Shockers. Clark come on dude are you serious? I'm am not a member of the PFL. Did you read my post at the bottom under my name? Your more of a member in the PFL than I am. Im OUT. Never want to work in the semi pro world ever again. Im a fan and have eyes, and been involved in the semi pro world and can see the difference in talent levels and political deception. You just bashed the PFL. YOUR WWFA needs tons of work. If the WWFA or the PDFL or the WFL or the NNFL or the Independents didn't want to battle with unification then they would have joined together for the betterment of NW football. The reason these guys aren't bashing the PFL right now is because they know they are second level tier 2 teams. Right now the PFL is the most accepting collective group of teams with talent, where they support their brothers wanting to play post season games in the NAFL or MLF Championship bowls. And most importantly a true exciting NW playoff system. Those that did not join are not ready for prime time. TRUTH. Just because I say good things about them does not mean Im some high office leader.  I like the NFL also. Does that mean I must be the commissioner. The other leagues have their own selfish agenda. If the PFL starts doing some unethical stuff, rest assured, Ill be one here posting and watching the smoke roll off my key board. As for all the smack talk that goes on on this board and others we need to ban these boards for a more positive one that is unbiased and would be run by someone who would monitor it, but honestly would we all abandon this board??? or do we treasure pure honesty no matter how negative? Positivity is boring in these times of the tabloid and 'reality' dramas taking over our TV's. LOL. Fish you answered your own statement. The answer is hell NO to ban speech. This is communism. (Come to think about it...Daunte is kind of a communist). Just kidding. Daunte created this board to allow all of us to speak freely. Thank you D. If it wasn't for speaking ones mind semi pro would have hundreds of un organized teams all getting away with stealing players and equipment. KAOS! Messageboards like this shine a light on the cockroaches.  If one wants a clean board to post on then click on the link under my name. There you will find more than one person that has admin access. |

Ban the Shocker honks Mark, Steve, and Rob. No my little La Flamer Blanca friend. Mark and Steve hate America (me). I love freedom thats why I served 20 years in the Military. You may not know what freedom really is or what freedom means. Is this why you dont display your real name? |
