I only heard about this yesterday. In for LA, hopefully it'll fill the void Super Bowl left yesterday.

Broncos actually found two good players out of that other league last year...both will probably make roster next year

This is actually quite exciting. I'm busy this weekend so I won't be able to watch the first game but it sounds a lot faster than NFL

cause it is hard to compete with NFL and you lose money usually


He Hate Me got an NFL contract from that single season

Rod Smart was his real name
If it makes it into another season I can see it being a feeder into the NFL.

Real shame I won't see the first weekend but I'm bang up for the rest of the season.

haha fresh football fans crack me up
It will be a feeder, but it is already mostly composed of guys the NFL passed upon...or guys from CFL Canada league
One canada guy from the league that folded last summer made NFL team(broncos)

likely won't stay around...they picked baseball and basketball season to compete with

best move would be to run this league on friday night or saturday night and go during the NFL for hardcore Football fans to have even more football during their binge watching season

after super bowl a lot of folks are burned out and ready to do other shit....I will be working 30-40 hours per week more per month now that I don't sit around on sundays.

Oi! I can't help that I haven't lived here for all of my 44 years, I'm as die hard as I can be...I keep having to ask questions about rules and stuff but at least I try. And the questions I ask are because you simply can't fit all of it into a few years.

Paying a bunch of college level has-beens what comes out to less than minimum wage for subjecting themselves to months of life-altering TMI's all in the name of a borderline-insane barely-billionaire....that's already fallen flat on it's fucking face once.

What could possibly go wrong?!

1 season. Tops. And it'd probably be more entertaining watching Vince set fire to the pile of money this will lose him.

If you're familiar with Vinnie-Mac's entrance music, that'll crack you up.

I’m not usually optimistic, but i think this will work the 2nd time around. Americans love football. Popularity has grown tremendously since the last time this rolled out. And he’s not trying to compete with NFL, he’s coming on after the season when all of us are wanting more.
