Xpress and AllStar Part Ways

The Dfw Xpress and all star wide out Michael Cotton have parted ways. The front office made a call and it was confirmed Mr. Cotton has decided to take his game to another franchise. Mr. Cotton did not notify the club that he had decided not to renew his contract making him a free agent. He decided to sign with the Texas Knights a franchise that finished the 2010 season with a 4-6 record. With the emergence of James Chism and the signing of Bobby Duncan the Xpress will not miss a beat. Michael brought us a deep threat receiver that the Vernon style offense always has, but as always the organization finds a deep threat to man the Z wide out spot. With the Titans it was 6'7 Kevin Massenburg 10T.D, 07 Bryson Clarke 10 T.D, 08 Johnny Williams 9 T.D, 09-Rashard Manning 10 t.d, and 2010 Michael Cotton 8 T.D, and in 2011 it will be James Chism. Michael put up phenomenal receiving yard numbers over 600 yards on just 18 receptions. The Xpress feel like Chism will better those numbers as a full time starter, he played Q.B. and receiver in the 2010 season, as a wide out his 3 catches for 118 yards and 2 scores showed enough promise that prompt the Xpress to move him into the starting line-up. With the signing of Free Agent wide out Bobby Duncan and Rookie sensation Anthony Caston in the slot and the returning all time leading receiver Chris Choice the Xpress offense will not miss a beat. The Xpress family would like to wish Mr. Cotton well with his new Franchise.

XPRESS MAKE MAJOR MOVE

The DFW XPRESS made a major announcement today that they were returning to play in the TUFL (Texas United Football League) in 2011. The Xpress won the NMLF Championship in 2010 and were slated to play for a national Championship this fall. Many leagues called and wanted the 2A State Champion to join there league but after heavy consideration and positive behind closed door meetings with John Kirkpatrick(Hunt County Longhorns) Shaun Ellis(Collin County Rattlers) and Brommett(Ft Worth Avengers) and positive conversations with Larry Anding and E-mails with Gary Craig I decided the best place to play and for the Xpress to play the best competition would be to play in the TUFL. The other leagues do have some very good teams but the TUFL has better competition on a weekly basis. The Xpress has gotten the reputation as being a premier team, and for the organization to continue to grow I feel like it is important to the organization to play teams like the Longhorns, Rattlers, Avengers,Bullets,and Shreveport just to name a few teams that will make the team better. Last season we finished with an overall record of 11-2 and we played any and everyone that would stand up and play us we even had teams that was scheduled to play us and backed out the week of, but we understood why they did not want to get rolled by the train. The Xpress played two full seasons in the 07,08 year and compiled a 12-8 record since the team left, the organization has compiled a 19-4 record, so going back to the TUFL will help make the TUFL stronger and help our organization gain more notoriety. The goal this year is to win the TUFL Championship and be crowned the 3A State Champion to go along with our 2010 2A State Championship. Keep an eye on the 2011 season and see if the Xpress Train can continue to roll.

Wondering

Showing curiosity. Why is this important you may ask? Well I will elaborate on this word. I have been around semi-pro, Minor League Football, or what this level of football was called over ten years ago by some was knuckle head ball where all the players do is fight! I been doing this for longer then any other coach in the DFW area, and each year someone starts rumors that my team will not be that good, or he will not field a team or his team will fold, and it's funny they say that, because the Xpress has an over all record of 31-10, 19-4 over the last 2 years, my Dallas Titans team I had before I retired had a record of 22-9, 15-5 the last 2 season. My first year owning a franchise the Falcons 1st year record was 0-10 the next year 2-8 the third year we were 4-6, I have always made teams improve where ever I coach! Now the Xpress Organization Is The Premier Team In Dallas Period! The Avengers are the best team in FT-Worth, Hunt County is the best team in East Texas and the Colin County Rattlers are the best team in the North Texas/upper Plano area. There is not a team that is worth playing that can beat this Franchise we proved that this past season! I may come off as being arrogant and I apologize if that is how you feel but oh well, I am sick and tired of outsiders saying what is going on in the Xpress organization. If you do not live in my house what do you know about what's going on behind my closed door? You are Wondering, but when you cannot figure it out you start rumors. Well let me be the first to let you in on a secret sense you are wondering, we have 35 rookies that are trying out for this 2010 championship team! and 30 returners from the 2010 championship team! so in case you are wondering will we be as strong as the 2010 team, what do you think!!!!!
