The Millionaires came up a little short this past Saturday night in their season opener as they were defeated by the  Daytona Beach Wildcats 26-0 sending a shock to the Millionaires Nation .. meaning the fans. Due to the fact they brought in one of the best coaches and  staff members  in this amateur adult football  league being former NFL star Ernest Givins Jr. Even more so Givins being the offensive coach and the Millionaires getting shut out.`The Wildcats loaded the box and brought in heat all night keeping first year starting quarterback for the Millionaires Mario Davis and the offense off balance the entire game as the Millionaires had less than 150 yards total offensive for the game. The Millionaires defense played a pretty solid game forcing six turnovers but the offense just kept putting the defense in tough situations. The Millionaires were without some key players for lack of practice and or disciplinary reasons which may have contributed to the defeat. "We are trying to rebuild and restore this program and our guys have to buy in on what we are selling and that's commitment and discipline. If that means sitting out key players to get the point across then we are willing to live with that to get to where we are trying to go. This weeks practice will tell me a lot and I believe we will grow from last weeks game" said Givins.

The Millionaires will pick up, regroup, and move on to now face off against the Space Coast Predators of Melbourne, Fl. Saturday January 28th, 7pm.

Quote of the Week


Fame neither destroys nor changes the inner you. What counts is how much truth there is in the person, how much morality and integrity they have, whether they can make up their respective minds regardless of public opinions and pressure groups. The true individual feels emotionally secure and can therefore achieve real success. Your inner resources mold your attitude toward life. If your heart is not in what you are doing you will feel useless to yourself and to others as well.     David Abrahamsen

Millionaires Continue Tradition And Community Service

The Sarasota Millionaires organization continues their tradition and community service of handing out thanksgiving turkey's complete with all the trimmings to elderly recipients in the community. Quarterback Mario Davis, and lineman(s) Chris Odom & Johnny Matias were on hand to help with the deliveries.

One recipient stated she was so happy to have a turkey this year, her husband had recently passed away.

Another stated we had saved his life, and would be putting his in the oven as we were still visiting with him.

In all the years the Millionaires have been handing out turkeys.. each year is very rewarding. Their are people of all ages who may otherwise go without a thanksgiving meal had it not been for our program helping to assist.
