           After reviewing the DKS player ratings file and the TSFL Pre-Season File #2 of March 28, I have determined that we can start the new season on Sunday, April 6 at 12:01AM. This file is 99.99% accurate from several sources. Our long wait is over.

 

March 24, 2025 

 

           The league is full. SAM WHITE is the new guy in DALLAS and DAN BROWN has returned to the helm in CAROLINA. To achieve balance SEAN ROACH excaped NEW YORK and relocated in SEATTLE.

           PAT CREW has done an incredible job getting us an early file. It is 99% accurate and should be confirmed when DKS issues their preliminary file on APRIL 8. The new game is on sale with an anticipated APRIL 29 release date.

           We continue to get closer to having a full league. STAN PIETRUSKA has assumed control of the SAN DIEGO CHARGERS and JAMES BESSINGER is the new man in DETROIT. Welcome both!

           After 47 years of coaching simulated football PAT CREW will finally get to coach his beloved hometown CHICAGO BEARS. BALTIMORE leaves the NFC WEST for the AFC CENTRAL and SAN DIEGO slides into the NFC WEST.

           We have added 2 new coaches over the weekend. CHRIS BONNEU has taken over the LAS VEGAS franchise with the stated goal of doing better than Mark Davis. RICK BIEBER is the new PHILADELPHIA coach. Rick has played in several DKS leagues and has expressed a desire to upgrade form Kirk Cousins. WELCOME ABOARD.

          

           We are now at 24 with another prospect making a team decision.

           We have added a new coach as KEVIN KNUDSEN has taken over the GREEN BAY franchise. We still have openings and need to get all involved. Therefore I am offering a supplemental pick in the 2026 rookie draft to any of you that recruit a new coach. The pick will be between the 2nd and 3rd round of the draft. There are to caveats to get the pick. 1) The new coach must complete the 2025 season and 2) must commit to the 2026 season. Happy Hunting!

 

           I have also added a new champions page to the site...check it out.

 

February 9, 2025

 

           This site has been updated as the team pages now list pass, run, and receptions totals for each team. This can give each an indication of how they stand in relation to league requirements. They are:

           PASSING: No less than 350 or more than 800 attempts

           RUNNING: No less than 225 or more than 600 attempts

           RECEPTIONS: No less than 175 or more than 550 receptions

 

           Several teams as relocated as reflected on the page 1 grid.

           The BALTIMORE RAVENS have moved to ARIZONA

           The LA RAMS have returned to INDIANAPOLIS

           The SF 49ers have moved to CLEVELAND

           The CHICAGO BEARS then moved to SAN FRANCISCO

           The SD CHARGERS replaced the CHICAGO BEARS 

 

           Baltimore and Los Angeles are also available cities.

 

          It is now time to start recruiting new coaches. Use this site to direct prospects to potential matchups. We all know of a coach or 2

          in other leagues that are solid and would be a great addition to the TSFL.

          I want to congratulate PAT CREW and his Rams on a stunning 40-14 win over the previously unbeaten Chiefs to capture the “Pete the Greek” TSFL Championship. The Rams were led by league MVP Russell Wilson and a strong defensive effort.

 

          I want to thank Joe Richardson for his two years of work in starting and developing the TSFL. Hie experience will assist me greatly

          as we move forward.  Pat Crew has helped me with file issues in the past and I look forward to his continued support.

 

          A little bit about me and my history. I started playing football in 1980 in an APBA league here on the West Coast of Florida. We

          converted to DKS in 2020 when Covid wiped out the ability to play head to head card games. The Suncoast Football League is

          alive and well and playing our 45th season. I have been a member of the Dominators Football League for 4 years and am entering

          my 3rd year in the AFC with my crappy Atlanta team.(4-30) over 2 years is a testament to my patience.

 

           I hate simulated games. They distort stats and player usage. I would rather see teams play the machine in limited cases. After all,

          the game is technically forfeited and the playing coach deserves control. Of course my goal is to never have this issue.

 

          I strongly believe that a team without a coach has no place in the playoffs.

 

          And I totally believe that my job as your commissioner is to interpret rules and not inject them. Any change to our constitution

          Will be proposed, discussed, and voted on.

 

          And, as this is for fun, I am creating a new page on the website. Stolen from Pro Football Weekly (remember it?) the new page will be titled “As We Hear It” and will post ‘rumors’ of pending moves.

 

          Now for the real business...after polling we stand at 21 solid teams. Detroit and Green Bay have been gone for a long time. Dan

          has dropped San Diego as he devotes his efforts to his new league, the FFL. Many of us are members. Brad inherited a dreadful sit-

          uation as a late fill-in for a Las Vegas team that was badly mismanaged by the original owner and is cutting back on leagues. Dave

wth Dallas is cutting back and Kevin with Philly is not returning. All were solid coaches and the door will always be open.

 

So where do we go from here? We need to find 7 quality coaches and we need all to be involved. I have shown the available teams

In WHITE on the team pages grid of this site. By using the site and directing prospects here we may impress some. Plus they get a chance to see each available team. I am placing a March 31 deadline to get to 28. Other plans have been formulated but there is

no need to entertain them now.

 

If we all get with it we can revitalize our league.

 

Thanks!
