Merry Christmas to the Dfwfootball Family

About this time next month, dfwfootball.net will be one year old.  So, as we
come to the week of Christmas, it is good to know that we will have lasted one full year.  I appreciate everyone who has come to the site and participated through comments or just reading the articles.

News is Coming Fast

As we get about a month in to the Fall season, the news is coming fast and furious for the Spring leagues. That has me excited, and what’s more, teams and personnel are sending us their news. We haven’t gotten all of the news, but the past week, a lot has come down.

New Book by Jeffrey Marx

Last year at my college football blog, I read and reviewed several books. I like to think I had a niche at Collegefootballtopten.com doing book reviews, and I had access to the books working for a bookstore.

Bringing Candid Pictures into Your Lives

Candid pictures are so much better than poses. These are pictures taken when we are just being ourselves. That is what Karyn Kelbaugh strives to do with her photography business which is located online at www.KarynKelbaugh.com. Karyn specializes in these kind of photo sessions.

Cassie’s Corner

This month’s website corner is Cassie’s Corner. The website keeps the family and friends of Lone Star Mustangs player Cassie Korywchak up-to-date with the news of Cassie’s treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

DFW Drafts Success

When the draft takes place next month, there will be a lot of attention on the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In fact, just look at the cover of the Lindy’s NFL Draft guide, and you will see that two of the three players on the cover called Dallas their home before college. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech and Matthew Stafford of Georgia grace the cover of the Lindy’s Draft guide.

Shut Up and Let Them Play

Media scrutiny is always greatest when the players earn millions and teams profit billions; I get that. The glare from the cameras and the microphones can be suffering. I do not envy that with today’s players. Would I like their salaries? You bet! Who wouldn’t? But, sometimes I wonder if the media just camps out at said team’s headquarters and finds the juicy news a little too often.
