Lies And Deception 2

In 2008 an article was written called Lies And Deception, well here is part 2. In the 2008 article their were outsiders and doubters that were saying the Xpress organization would not be fielding a team for the 2009 season, well as you can see that was a lie! the Xpress fielded arguably the best spring team in the Metroplex. The outsiders were saying their organization was the best thing since sliced bread. 1 of those teams folded mid way through the season, team 2 won 3 games and team 3 won 5 games. The Xpress finished 8-2 lost both games by a combined total of 3Pt's, the Xpress offense averaged just under 29Pt's a game, and a defense that gave up just under 13 Pt's a game. The other organizations were saying that they had no internal problems, and that they had built the perfect organization, that's odd because of those 2 teams, both took money from their players week end and week out, lied about what the money would be used for, and in the end one folded and the other lost over 70% of it's players to a new franchise. The Xpress organization has always been truthful to it's players and has always been truthful to it's fans. So for all the outsiders that said the Xpress would not have a team in 2008 look again and tell us what you see? Looks to me like a Dynasty about to happen and for you owners that are trying to put together a franchise do not be like the others! always tell your players the truth and be honest with your fans. Do not be those franchises that like to take money from it's players and fans and not keep it's word. In other words NO LIES AND NO DECEPTION!

Xpress And Fields Part Ways

The DFW Xpress and All Star QB Tre Fields have parted ways. After 2 years as the starting QB for the Xpress, both Fields and the Xpress management agreed that it was time for Fields to move on. The Allstar QB guided the Xpress to 14-6 record over the last 2 seasons, and guided the team to the 2009 semi final game in which the team lost to the eventual 2009 NMLF Champion, San Antonio Warriors. At the end of the 2009 season coach Vernon and Mr. Fields had a long conversation about Fields returning to the Xpress for a 3rd year and competing for the starting QB spot on the 2010 roster, Mr. Fields felt that he should not have to compete for the starting spot, since he was coming off an All Star season. Coach Vernon explained to Mr. Fields that his declining numbers over the last 2 season were the reason for the organization making the decision that he would have to compete for the starting QB position for the 2010 season. Mr. Fields decided to play summer ball for the Dallas Diesel, and guided them to the WFL championship where the Diesel lost to the Oklahoma Thunder. Coach Vernon believes Fields has 2 good years left in his strong and accurate arm, but the organization wants to move on and go with a younger and more focused QB. The Xpress would like to wish Mr. Fields good luck on his football future.

Pope Calls It Quits After 1 Season

All star wide out John Pope call it quits, After an all star season, that saw Pope become the Xpress Offensive rookie of the year, and NMLF All Star, star wide receiver John Pope decides to hang up his cleats. Yes he is retiring, When John pope contacted the Xpress to let the organization know he was retiring, head coach Truman Vernon was disappointed with Pope's decision, After Pope let coach Vernon know the reason for his retirement Coach Vernon truly understood the reason. Pope let the organization know he was retiring because he wants to fulfill a life long dream to be a fire fighter and the time was nearing for that dream to become a reality. The Xpress family will truly miss John and wish him all the luck in his endeavor. What this does for the team is push Rashard Manning to a starter roll and the Xpress will lean more on 4Th receiver Melvin Harris to step up and produce more catches as a 3rd receiver instead of a 4Th receiver. Pope's retirement forces the Xpress to go after another veteran Receiver to shore up the receiving crew.
