It looks like Enforcin will get his wish to be the starting DT. I am officially hanging up my cleats from the C2C fins. I am not injured or anything like that. I just can't make the commitment here as well as elsewhere...

...which brings me to my next point. I have been offered a spot on a pretty prestigous traveling football team that is asking for a 100% commitment. That means no more games with any other organizations no matter how big or small.

So it looks like I will be playing DE for the Detroit Pumas (Lions fans primarily).

I would love to have your guys support.

Sorry guys. :( Good luck. I will be rooting for you. :no: :hi5:

Yeah I realize the date and chalk it up to bad timing on my part. One of my best friends (he was also dressed like a girl from one of my previous pictures I have posted) is a semi-pro football team owner (San Jose Predators) and also has a stake in another league back east. The Detroit team is playing a west coast schedule this year and asked me to join for the year. Practice starts in June and kickoff is in August and will run until probably mid-October/early November depending on scheduling.

Seeing as how I am commited to them until then and traveling after October is an impossibility for me due to my day job, I have ot hang them up.

I probably should have waited until tomorrow to announce this though due to it being April Fools Day and all. But I just got the confirmation about 45 minutes ago.

Originally it was the detroit wildcats, but when I put the URL up, it went to a hockey team. Instead of simply switching to me playing hockey, I decided to go an even harder route. :up:

Agreed. But some people fell for it. It goes to show you, that even when people know you are lieing, if you scream loud enough and long enough, people will eventually believe it. :wink2:

I had people convinced that I was having a kid and that my girlfriend and I were broken up all at the same time yesterday. :tongue2:
