Warsaw Eagles

Moving on, on the topic of AFLE and EFAs, we got some, I think, disturbing news.

Last week, I believe, with the Warsaw Eagles, the second team in Poland, becoming a new AFLE franchise starting next year.

They were announced at the AFLE Honors Ceremony, won the prospect team of the year.

I don't know what that means.

That's really good programs.

Am I overreacting? Brad, what are your

thoughts, man? Well, I got to say, one of the guys in the Warsaw Eagles organization got me my start over here.

So, I am a little biased.

He is an athlete, a coach, and an entrepreneur whose story is one of relentless reinvention.

After dominating as a defensive back for the Marburg Mercenaries in German Football League, Fifteen years ago, he made Poland his home, spending over a decade with the Wroclaw Panthers, racking up an extraordinary eight Polish championships and one European title, before stepping into the head coach role at Warsaw Eagles, where he immediately delivered back-to-back Polish bowl titles in 2024 and 2025. while simultaneously guiding the Eagles to their debut in the Central European Football League semifinals.

But his impact doesn't stop at the sidelines.

He is also a founder of Sports Takeoff, an innovative sports equipment company behind the groundbreaking two-in-one shoulder pad system, a certified personal trainer and a sports marketing consultant.

yeah.

Okay.

So we know Deantel, we know the head coach of Warsaw Eagles, but behind that was like a young boy that grew up in Fayetteville, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta.

And with the podcast, we essentially tried to draw a pattern between the great people that we've had on to kind of understand what the background was like.

And please, if somebody knows the Polish league and I'm wrong, please do correct me.

But I believe there is history between the Warsaw Eagles and the Wroclaw Panthers domestic team.

I imagine there would be.

I believe that is two teams that have competed at the top level of the domestic league for years.

Which is, I forget the name of the team.

Tanner? It's the Warsaw Eagles.

Warsaw Eagles.

So the capital, Poland, gets their team.

They both have a developed system.

Folks, we've had a bit of a joke about it before when we said Baffer, and no one wanted to really commentate on it.

And I respect that because obviously, you know, you know politics and stuff but I suppose I have a different question for you you know what's one thing you change in Britball you know we've just had it announced that give me one moment I should know this more that Warsaw Eagles I know they're not a part of our you know our division but they've just joined AFLA so potentially we might have more teams looking to do that we don't know but what's one thing you change about Britball in a constructive way you know anyone want to go first Pay the refs more.

Okay, that's a good one.

Absolutely, 100% pay the refs more.
