More and more I want to see the games. They got some pretty good names signed up to work for them already, Dennis Green, Jim Fassel, Flutie. And it seems like they're taking it seriously to have good football, unlike XFL. It'd be pretty cool.

Re: UFL
It would be cool to have "minor league" football. But i doubt anotherprofessional league can stay in business. But ill watch it and give it a chance. Any news on when its suppose to start?

Re: UFL
It starts September 2009.... they are asking for failure having the season during the NFL season.
They should have made it a summer league.
It will air on Versus apparently.

Is Flutie making a comeback?Originally posted by Mr. Miyagi
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Yeah, I really don't understand that. If they're going to try and satisfy football cravings that fans have, why do it when they're getting their fix from the NFL?Originally posted by Mahdi"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: UFL
I think if they put a good product on the field they do stand a chance. What cities will have teams ? What players will crossover ? who knows. They were saying the same thing years ago about the old AFL , and guys like Ralph took a chance and it paid off.
Are they still playing minor league baseball in B-Lo ? people still turn out to watch the Bisons games. Same thing in my eyes . there's room for more football as long as the talent is there.

Re: UFL
The thing that gets in the UFL's way is: "What are they?"
Are they trying to be a replacement to the NFL and get big star players to join their league? If they do that, they need serious capital and a great TV contract (something that even the NFL is going to struggle to get the same kind of TV as the previous year). That requires for the UFL teams to have the same ticket prices etc...in my mind that equals failure because the NFL has the history and connection to people.
If the UFL is really a minor league equivalent to the NFL where mid level players are playing for all heart and a chance to bump up to the NFL, then they might just have a chance because ticket prices will be low, the TV deal doesn't have to be anything special and they can grow their teams organically without worry of the NFL taking their talent.
I don't know who wants to watch a hybrid of college and pro football like that, but i envision that having more of a chance to succeed than a league taking the NFL head on.Comment
