Trying to Succeed

Many attempts by leagues, teams, and players fell through in their attempt to shut down the Xpress for the 2010 season. Many things were said, and done to keep the Xpress from playing a 2010 season. Many lies from those that are true liars, were told about me and about the Xpress team. Things that were said about me that were not true! but I guess because I was carrying myself like the man I am, and was not retaliating and saying things about those who were slandering me must have made people think that things that were being said about me must be true. Well I am here to tell that they were not true. I was always taught that their is always 3 sides to every story, theirs, mine and the truth. I am not the type of person that slander people, are certain individuals to get self gain, I have nothing to benefit from doing this. Their are those that claim they have forced me out of this level of football, those that gave me a bad recommendations to play in another league, and that league decided to second guess themselves about the Xpress playing against their teams, but it could just be that they were afraid of competition. The other league's owner has held a grudge against me since 2000 when he called me a STUPID NIGGER! but it's said that the older you get the wiser and more knowledgeable you become, but I guess when you are already ignorant you can not become wiser or more knowledgeable, What really amazes me is that when a person really knows your personal business why would that individual slander you? maybe it's because they know you are not childish and that you look over people who do and say childish things. Well with the help from a few people in the football world, I will keep their names anonymous.The Xpress will be kicking off the season this Saturday Feb.27Th at 6:00 pm. In the end those that tried to succeed DID NOT!!!!!!!!!!!. I want to personally thank those 2 individuals for all their help and support, they know who they are. ( THANK YOU ).

Major Announcement

With the NMLF suspending the 2010 season in preparation of the 2011 season, the DFW Xpress will be playing the 2010 season under a TUFL/EFL schedule!! Do to one of the NMLF franchises ceasing operations for the 2010 season the remaining NMLF teams decided it would be best if the remaining teams play the 2010 schedule within other leagues. The Xpress organization feels that the 2010 Xpress team is as strong as any team in the metroplex and what better way to prove it, by playing more competitive teams for the 2010 season. The Xpress will play teams like the 2008 TUFL Champion Hunt County Longhorns, the always powerful FT Worth Stampede, The Collin County Rattlers, and Cooke County of the EFL just to name a few. The Xpress will have to put up some offensive and defensive numbers that the 2009 team show cased in order to prove to the nay-sayers that the 2009 8-2 record was the real deal. Stay tuned for more to come.

Tie Game

The Xpress game vs the Texas Knights this past Saturday on 2/6/10 ended in a 12-12 tie. The game started off like all Xpress game generally do with the Xpress scoring on their their first play from scrimmage. Last year the deep connection was Fields to Manning, this year it looks to be Nelson to Manning. The first play Nelson hooked up with Manning on a 65 yard T.D. pass and just like that the Xpress were up 6-0, the extra point was no good. The Knights could not muster much offense during the first half, and the Xpress had many opportunities to blow the game wide open but many miscues and stalled red zone opportunities stopped the Xpress offense from putting up more points. A play that could have been a momentum changer was when Nelson scrambled for a 25 yard gain and as he was hit at the goal line fumbled into the end zone for a touch back and that kept the score 6-0 going into the half. The 3rd quarter belonged to the Knights. The Knights kept the Xpress defense off balance and drove 75 yards on 8 plays to tie the score and make it 6-6. At the beginning of the 4Th quarter both teams went back and fourth not allowing a score then with a little over 4 mins left to go in the game Nelson found Manning again this time on a 80 T.D. and that score put the Xpress up 12-6. The Knights starting putting together a game tieing drive when the Knights Q.B. was hit as he threw the ball, and the pass was intercepted by defensive lineman Kenard Turner. The Xpress put their offense back on the field, and what was suppose to be the game ending drive ended quickly, when R.B. Jesse Wyatt fumbled the ball and the Knights recovered at the Xpress 30 yard line. On the first offensive play the Knights scored the game tying T.D. on a 30 yard pass, the extra point was no good. The Xpress were left with 63 seconds on the clock, Nelson found Frank for a gain of 29 yards, then found Frank again for 18 yards to put the Xpress at the Knights 7 yard line. The next 2 plays ended in incomplete passes by Nelson, and on 3rd down Nelson was flagged for intentional grounding, and on 4Th down Nelson decided to call his own number and kept the ball and tried to run it in but was tackled before he could get to the goal line. Final score Xpress 12 Knights 12.

Major Loss

The DFW Xpress take a major loss. The Xpress were notified Tuesday 2/2/10 that LineBacker Jody Linville will be lost for the season with a torn ACL/MCL. What the coaching staff thought was a minor injury to the Starting Linebacker turned out to be a major blow to the Defense. During practice on 1/27/10 the offense and defense were having and inter squad scrimmage as Mr. Linville came in to assist on a tackle his leg was rolled up on. He walked back and fourth and said the knee did not feel right but their was no indication that the ligaments had been torn. A few days later the MRI revealed that both ligaments had been torn and that Mr. Linville would need surgery to repair the ligaments in his left knee, that will take 6-9 months of rehab. Mr. Linville vowed that he would be back for the 2011 season.
