BFL Profile- Pelham Sparrows

March 10 , 2003- Each week, leading up to the 2003 BFL season, there will be a look at each BFL franchise, with the player's own perspective on the 2003 Season. Here is the 5th BFL Profile.

Going into last season, it seemed that the Sparrows would were no longer the dominate team that they were in the past. In his first two seasons, Ken won two BFL Championships. But after winning back to back titles, Ken would be in only 1 playoff appearance in his next two seasons. In that Playoff Game, Ken fell behind to the Dragons by 16 and lost it 47-42. "I knew after beating Rich three straight times, that once he figured out how to beat me, I was doomed." Ken lost to the Dragons 2 consecutive times including that playoff debacle.

"I set a goal for myself to win another BFL championship and I wasn't sure if I could do it." Ken started off 2002 strong but backed into the playoffs with a 1-1-1 record. "I knew that all I needed was a ticket to the playoffs and I could win it all, once more." Ken did that dominating the Crusaders and overcoming the Dragons in an emotional BFL Bowl V. "Me and Rich are good friends and bring out the best in eachother, when we play. I never played that hard in a game before, and I'm sure Rich could say the same. That BFL Bowl was Rich's last game and we wanted to know that the oldest rivalry in the game was played like it should be."

Coming off of a Championship season, what should we look for from the Sparrows in 2003? Ken stated that he just wants to have some fun this year. "I am going to take it game by game. I am going to just have some fun out there." Ken plays the Fear, the Bulldogs, and the Crusaders. He is a combined 4-0 against the Bulldogs and Crusaders. "I am looking forward to the game against the Fear the most. I'd say Sean plays very similar football to me. He plays with intensity and never quits." And with the Bulldogs and Crusaders Ken believes one of those teams are overdue to beat him. "We'll see what happens. Hopefully I can win BFL Bowl VI. But there are some teams that want it more than me! But I assure everyone, come august, I think I'll want to win it too."
