| Whats up fellas? Ok since the CFL Championship game I have been approached many times with questions about the CFL. How do you get in, when did it start, when do you play etc. So from here the league can really grow and the talent can take off. Well a couple of guys asked me if I could help and get a new league started. Similar to the CFL but in the spring time and would consist of all Chaldean/Assyrians. I thought it would be a good idea to get some other Chaldeans playing football and filter in some new talent in the our league. So I talked it over with some of the CFL guys and we are going to take some teams to the new league. The league is practically the same with a few minor changes, which are minor. It will be held starting the first week after Easter on sunday mornings. Instead of having a draft, pre approved coaches/captains will bring in their own team to play. Its going to be 6 teams with the same format as our leaugue, ten regular season games playoffs then the championship game with the games being held at West Bloomfield High School. So this is how we are going to handle from the CFLs perspective.
Nathan, Cris Zeer, and Joe Jonna are going to each have a team. All the Cfl players that are interested in playing are going to be listed and accounted for before the season starts. Us three are going to have a draft for our teams specifically from the CFL from that list. This way all three teams will be as even as possible and we can spread out the talent. We will have three teams representing our league. The more players we have the better no matter what skill level.
This league should be good. Mainly it is going to be an avenue for new players to enter in our league. Having our championship game at night, being in the Chaldean news, and other things has really given us some popularity and we can use that to make the CFL better. This new league should be pretty good and Ive already gotten a good amount of interest from the people Ive spoken with about it.
We will be making phone calls to people but if you want to play just reply to this post and I'll get your name in. That will save me some time. If you have questions call me or post them since I'll be checking the site daily. Thanks

| Ya, you and everyone else Tony, lol.
Ok so Ive already gotten some responses from people but we need more so spread the word. FYI the league is gonna be $150 and is non profit so dont think we're doing this for extra money for my girls at flightclub. The main guy that Im doing this with is Noor Atisha. His email address is natisha@comcast.net, if you have any questions. There may be one team that is completly assembled from players that tryout, so if you know anyone that wants to play and is not in the cfl let us know.
There also is a website that is getting started and its http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=babylonian
Its still in the making so dont expect much, and its the same site that we go through. We should have the final list within the next couple weeks here so dont drag a$$.

| How many guys per team? Besides Noor Atisha who else is in this league? No disrespect but, I can't see any of the other 3 team even having a shot at being competitive.

| I see everyone wants me to call, thanks fellas.
AT, odds are the CFL teams are going to be some of the better teams, because we've played together and played more than most other Chaldeans. But thats the idea, there are a lot of Chaldeans out there with talent that might not be able to get into the CFL. I mean my first year I was garbage, but after playing I was able to improve. I anticipate this league bieng as good as the winter league if not better, remember it is the first year anyone else has tried to put something else together. The way I see it, if we can have something close to the winter league, and take away a couple of good players maybe even a Qb for our league then it was worth it. As far as I know we have 5 solid teams and one more on the way, all we need is 6. I have no guarantees on how good or bad this league will be but at the least its a way to stay in shape for the upcoming season. Im sure Jonna is gonna want to avenge his loss, and hes getting fatter and fatter everytime I see him. Well like I said before if you are interested in the league post your name. I'll be making phone calls this week.

| it's good to get some of these guys that swear they are sweet and say that the cfl is all politics and they got screwed at the tryouts. So now when they get in the league and get punished they won't have anything to say. I'm really getting sick of going to the gym and hearing guys like this talk to me.

| I wasn't knocking it just asking a few questions. You didn't suck when you came in you just weren't as good as Nolan. I think it will be good for the CFL.
I am all about anything Chaldean. I'm in and will do as much as I can to help make this a success.
Let me know what I can do if anything.
I think the fat boy hurt his back.

| Actually, i've lost 15 pounds since the injury, but have somehow remained fat. That can only mean that i've lost whatever small amount of muscle I had to begin with. I'm pulling off the rare feat of losing weight but getting slower.

| What up fellas. There has been a small setback in the teams that were being put together. I havent made most of the phone calls to the CFL players because I want to be sure that the other teams can get organized enough to play. The CFL should have no problem getting our three teams but if the other guys cant get organized then there is no point. I will keep everyone updated on whats going on. There is much interest with non cfl players but its the organization that has been the issue.
Oh and I cant submit a post without talking some smack to MR. Jonna........ nuff said.

| Well here's the update, the guys that I was trying to help couldnt get their teams organized enough to play. We would have had our three teams no problem. They were suppose to have 2 teams lined up ready to play and then another team would have been assembled since we had plenty of interest, but the teams couldnt commit so I dedided to pull the Cfl teams out. It didnt seem like it was going to happen and even if it did I was starting to question the talent. So as of now its off, sorry about all that but we did our part, maybe next year. See you boys in the fall.
