Don't Stop Believing...

This is a really good cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" by a group called Halocene. As she says in the outtro,"we never stopped believing."

I encourage everyone here in the PNFL to never stop believing. I've been here for 23 seasons and at many times doubted I would ever field a winning team and compete in post-season. I went 11-5 in the 2024 season and lost to Justin's Dallas team in the first round. I went 10-6 with Kansas City two seasons ago and had a tough loss to Mitch's Oakland team in round one. My last season I was 5-11 in KC and started this season 2-4 and looking at another 5-11 season.

I've had as many 3-5 win seasons as anyone. I often thought I might never win in the PNFL but had to keep trying. Ever off-season was a chance to reboot what I was doing and think this will be the season I start winning games. I can remember early in my seasons here there was a Philly coach who tried real hard but only won 3-4 games each season for 4-5 seasons, then I think he got too discouraged from losing too much and retired from the league, never to be seen again. I never wanted to be that guy that failed to win and then retired from the league.

Some teams made post season this season, some missed by a game or two and others struggled and are looking to improve next season. But I urge all of them to never stop believing and come back stronger next season.

Regardless of what happens next week, Atlanta will be back looking to get better like the other 17 teams. The plan is to do exactly as Deion Sanders AKA Coach Prime says, elevate and dominate. Play every game tough and do our best to win. Jerry Glanville would have it no other way.
