According to my research the association was also reported by UPI that was published nationwide and was titled "4 Grid Leagues Form Nationwide Group" (without mentioning the Midwest Professional Football League). At first I was sure that the "Texas League" was a different name for the Southwestern Football League, but now I think that it was something to it (maybe a proposed league or something). It worth looking it up, but at least keep in as an anecdote --Ccui123 (talk) 22:29, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Ccui123: I chose to include the May 1972 article from Des Moines Tribune because the wire article from the AP in March 1972 said it was still waiting for one or two more teams to join. I assume they all did by May 1972. I'll add back Texas League, maybe it's different. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- I just remembered something, Arthur Arkush from the Pro Football Weekly was involved with the Trans-American Football League and was later tried to established new football league in the region. Maybe "the Texas League" was related to his attempts (but it may be also me trying to fit a square peg into a round hole...).--Ccui123 (talk) 12:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Eagles247,
When I saw that Fantasyfootball04 was blocked, I thought I was next, lol. I was like ... man that person really helped out with adding U.S. Thank God for a 'show block details' tab. I actually thanked MC for helping with just that last month, not knowing a block was coming.
That's why you're the administrator. :)
Nice meeting you. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 22:21, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Bringingthewood: You've been doing a good job around here from everything I've seen! With some of these users it's not a matter of whether they have good intentions, but if they are competent enough to be an editor here. With the user in question, their enthusiasm, effort, and good intentions are all there, but they have proven they are not capable of learning from mistakes or guidance given. Thanks for helping out with WP:NFL! Eagles 24/7 (C) 17:33, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- I get you 100%, it definitely looked that way. I was really hoping with thanks, maybe a non-combative word etc., would have helped him. Oh well, only time will tell.
- One thing I wanted to say, truthfully, and this was from back when I was with Answers.com, I may come across willing to bend over backwards for people, nice guy I guess, but I'm not ***-kissing by any means. I'm friends with another admin. (hope he considers me a friend) and I've always respected authority. It's not me looking for brownie points. When I like people, I like people.
- I really appreciate you responding to my message and please, like I've said to others here, if you see something that I'm doing that ruffles feathers, please let me know right away. I'm bad at stopping the ball from rolling. ;)
- Glad to have met you and enjoy the rest of your week. Regards Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Bringingthewood: No worries, I'll be sure to point you in the right direction if needed! A quick tip if you're looking for one, when responding to a message on a talk page, be sure to use indentation. Wikipedia:Indentation has a good explainer for you, and I've fixed yours above. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 00:19, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, I always forget that one. Wish I had the 'preview edit' button back again. Wikipedia must have changed things in April and I have a relic here. At least I could see the mess I make before making it. Sorry about that. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

- Could this IP address be another sock? Seems to be engaging in similar behavior. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:54, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Yep, that's certainly a sock. I've blocked the range Special:Contributions/192.196.218.192/27, let me know if they pop up again. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 01:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- Another one? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:16, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Yep, blocked. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 13:35, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- Is this one? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Almost certainly. I've expanded the range block from October 3 slightly to include that IP address. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 02:04, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
