I have been away from reporting on women’s tackle football for a very long time. I first started WFB Talk (Women’s Football Talk) in November, 2006. The WPFL (Women’s Professional Football League) and NWFA (National Women’s Football Association) were still around. First with the blog and then the internet radio site, Blogtalkradio, where we did a live broadcast show every Sunday throughout the year, not just the season, but the whole year. I stopped in 2012 with the show, doing my show WFB Talk, that is. I still upload shows for the IWFFA (International Women’s Flag Football Association) on the WFB Talk site though. Oscar Lopez, of Gridiron Beauties helped host the show for me during 2012 and then when I finally left he created his show, which is #1 in reporting women’s football. WFB Talk had four co-hosts. There was Beebe, Meg, Robin and myself. Our very first show was nine years ago on the “History of Women’s Tackle Football”. Over the years we had many wonderful guests and great interviews.
The reason to why I am bringing this up is that I want to return back to reporting on women’s tackle football. Start from scratch and earn my way back. I will be starting a new show using a pseudonym rather than my actual name and I will be handling only one league. I’ve been away much too long to jump with both feet in.
I write this publicly because I don’t want you to think that I am deceiving you, but rather trying to work my way back into the game.
Hope to see you “Over-the-air-waves”.
Cheers

Salem Freedom Bowl – June 25 – 26, 2016 – Salem Oregon
8 on 8 and 5 on 5 flag football style of play
Oregon Flag Football league show cases 6 big tournaments each year – throughout different parts of Oregon
Trish Wall plays for the 8 on 8 team: “Legit”, who are undefeated champs and ranked #1 in the northwest. She also fills in to play 5 on 5 for another team in the tournament: Roseberg Respect .
In our conversation with Trish she explains why she decided to design her own set of flags, her inspiration to grow the sport of flag football in her region. Trish Wall and Nick Davis, together have started up: “Man Up Oregon” and “Women Up Oregon” as well as the: Oregon RVFFL women’s flag football league, and they are now part of the west coast union which is a partnership with California, Washington and Oregon. Trish and Nick Davis travel up and down highway I 5 to other parts of Oregon to teach drills and skills needed to learn in order to play to start up new teams of flag football
The Salem Freedom Bowl: Teams competing (6 women’s) Eugene Reign, Grants Pass Legit, Grants Pass Tight Endz, Medford Empire, Salem Blitz, Seattle 20Pick6. The tournament has two divisions: Top Flight Division (Grants Pass Tight Endz will take championship) and Competitive Division (Seattle 20Pick6 will take the championship) and allows for teams to borrow players during the competition in order to compete. “Players just want to play, and get better in the sport” says Trish. Teams have so much camaraderie amongst each other. The league started co-ed, then went gender specific with 5 on 5, and today offers both 5 on 5 and 8 on 8 style of play. Trish says 5 on 5 builds skills for the 8 on 8. “All styles of flag football can only help each other”.
Laura Lanigan – A “Legit” player talks about the 8 on 8 program, 5 on 5 fading and we get a little bit into the “dynamics” of female athletes vs. male athletes.
Coach Simon Lindsay – of the Lady Legit Team – talks about this team, which is a family. The differences between female and male flag football players. Women do not make as many mistakes as men during crunch time or play offs due to ego and lack of focus. Lady Legit players honor decisions coach Simon makes. “The Greatest Teams always Loose”…. find out why.
Diana Bahr and Mellisa Zahn from the Empire Team in Medford Oregon
talk to us right off the field with a 14 – 8 win. Winning is everything, no mercy – this is flag football… not ballet. It’s important to keep your drive no matter how weak their competitor team may be. Tips for the new player: Watch football and play whatever flag football you can play.
Erica Duley – Captain of Ladies Reign of Eugene, Oregon.
Teams are really tight, they mix and mingle. The Lady Regins are a very diverse team – players on the team are so different. They play both 5 on 5 and 8 on 8. 80% of the team are mothers, who really have made such a commitment, bringing their children to their practices. All the team’s have male coaches and coaches are allowed to be on the field during the tournament helping teams call their plays.
Lady Savages or Clement Falls, Oregon
Crystal Myra, Maria Grey, Raquela Johnson, Adrienna, Jacqueline Williams, Rosaria Miller, Cathy Torguesine, Coach Austin – a new team playing just one year. They are using the tournament as a learning experience. They like everything about flag football, the bonding, the flag football family. Their rival team is “Legit ” only because they are undefeated champs.
Roseberg Respect Team – Somari Rodrow, Sara, Katy and Stacy – are team mates and coached by Nick Davis who started the team back in October 2016. They play 5 on 5, with contact for the first 5 yards. Even though their team does not play 8 on 8, they filled in an empty spot on the 8 on 8 division. Great sports willing to help the event anyway they can.
Nick Davis – co-founder of the league and tournament talks how he and Trish started up all the teams, the west coast union, starting from co-ed, to gender leagues, from 5 on 5 to now in addition 8 on 8. Nick also shares how he believes men’s flag football may be destroying the game. Regarding his female athletes, after one year, the women should be able to coach their own teams and not be so dependent on the men. Nick is driven to building the female flag football player to be independent, less dependent on the men. Giving women the tools, to then go out and be leaders.

I stepped away from football during the 2014 season and took up fishing. It was a well needed rest. For those of you who know me, know that I am passionate about football. With the help of fellow footballers we first launched WFB Talk on Blogtalkradio in August 2007.
After my departure, Gridiron Beauties, Oscar Lopez, kept Women’s Football streaming over the airways and through social media, continues to grow support.
Next season I would like to rejoin the ranks once again and do what WFB Talk set out to do. Educate, Promote and Advance Women’s Tackle Football.
I hope you will welcome me back.
Yesterday on Women’s Football Talk, I had Randall Fields from the Women’s Spring Football League (WSFL) on-air.
He wanted to discuss a proposal in regard to unification of all three leagues (WFA, IWFL, WSFL). This was just one example he gave, but said it was something the leagues would have to work out together.

What do you think?

Note: Randall will return on Sunday, December 11th for a follow up show. I told him that I would submit this clip to the prospective leagues for comment.
Update (Nov 29): Listen to Q3 of 4 Quarters with Coach Lee where Randall and Coach Lee discuss further his proposal – Click HERE.
Yesterday on WFB Talk, we were in a remote location in beautiful Auburn, CA overlooking the American River. While live on-the-air for the first hour, Nancy and Bailey went down the trail towards the American River.
While waiting for callers when she came back, I had Nancy fill in some time with how her adventure went. You know me, always picking on her and throwing in my two cents to what was serious to her as she told it, not realizing how funny it actually was.

Bailey overlooking the American River
Last night Nancy & I were on SHACK Paranormal on BlogTalkRadio. A new weekly show hosted by Mike Coletta (UfoGeek).
For those of you have listened to our show since the beginning and have heard the introduction to it, you know that I have commented that was done by my brother Mike.
Nancy & I are part of CAL S.H.A.C.K., a paranormal investigation group focusing on the areas of California and Nevada. S.H.A.C.K. stands for Spirit Hunting and Capture Kindred. The main paranormal site for all the investigation photos, videos and evp’s can be found at www.residualhauntings.com.
We took a switch from football last night and talked about some ghostly adventures. Tune in HERE to listen to last nights show.
Here are some photos of Nancy capturing EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) at Buena Vista Cemetery, Murphys, CA.
EVP’s were captured Here. Listen to the broadcast and tell us what you think is said.
Jeff King, President of the Women’s Football Alliance first came on our show August 3rd, before they were a league. When the NWFA dropped its west division teams, the WFA acquired all but one of those teams. When the NWFA folded, the WFA acquired all but four of those teams. Jeff was on our show again on December 21 sharing us his plans for the new season, with 34 teams, impressive for a first year league as well as being able to accomodate all those teams with a schedule in early January with such short notice.
Now that the season has completed its first InAugaral year, Jeff King joins us once again to give account of the 2009 season. We will discuss what happened before the start of the season when schedules were already out; the first games played; the playoffs to the final Championship Game; as well as what we can look forward to in 2010 for the WFA.
Please join us today at 3:00pm(pst) on WFB Talk.

The Best in the league compete at Round Rock ISD Stadium.
Back on January 20, 2008, Meg, Nancy and I did an episode called Sixxes Talk. This was when the WPFL would be no more after finishing the 2007 Championship Game against the So Cal Scorpions vs Houston Energy.
The remaining teams of the WPFL were moving to either the NWFA or the IWFL for the 2008 season.
The IWFL was toying with the idea of restarting its 2005 Sixxes league (Texas Style Six-Man Football). Meg had decided to start her own Sixxes team and Coach Lee of the Las Vegas Showgirlz decided to sport a Sixxes team in addition to his Tier I team in hopes other full rostered teams would follow suit.

UPDATE (4/15/09):
DEB GENZ will be the HOST of Friday Night Football Preview (Check Programs section for ALL programming)
A new show will Premiere on WFB Talk Continues starting Friday, April 17th. Friday Night Football Preview with James Evans stemmed based on a conversation James Evans and myself had in regard to players in women’s tackle football.
We both were discussing various players and their records and team rivalries to the reasons why. Many people don’t know the players of women’s football as we do for our male counterparts. We want to get that same familiarity out there for the women.
James will do a weekly preview show of team match ups from week-to-week in both the IWFL and the WFA. Stats and statistics will also be covered as well as guests on the show.
Due to the short time constraint, we are unable to provide a show for week one and season opener for the IWFL.
