MJS Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 9 minutes ago, Southern Bills Fan said: I was hoping that one of these startup leagues would actually partner with the NFL and be a true minor league where NFL teams could develop guys that they signed to futures contracts or guys that were on practice squads. That will come with time if it comes at all. The league has to show that it is viable and successful first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ill give it a whirl. No different than watching college football to see who could make the training camp roster. It's also still a good time of year to stay in and watch the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tomcat Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) I will check out a play or 2 and do believe its a different animal than the xfl and has a chance to stick around for over a year. I'm betting the over. To many main players in this league to think its just a sideshow. As to your original question....I wouldn't mind having its own forum just so I won't need to scroll thru the "lets get player A as he's tearing up the competition" threads. If it flops just hit F5 or have Jay become the administrator of that forum and it will self destruct? PS...I know I'll be getting my Birmingham Tattoo shortly! (what is their team name again?)

This ^^^. Have the NFL fund the league, and make it a true development/feeder league. Edited February 6, 2019 by LabattBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Old ball coach" Steve Spurrier is the head coach. I just picked them because I liked the team name and need to have a rooting interest if I'm going to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored with retirement? 9+ years ago I went to a UFL game where he was the head coach of the NY Sentinels. The game was 11/12/09 and was played in Hartford Ct. One player from that game went back to the NFL and is still playing -Falcons K Matt Bryant. So, if I was crazy enough to go to a UFL game, you know I'll be watching Saturday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sure all the scouts for each team will be watching but if it's another one of those ESPN things where you have to get a cable subscription like the MNF thing they can count me out i like my free antenna TV ...

I just picked them because I liked the team name and need to have a rooting interest if I'm going to watch Before Spurrier went on to become one of the biggest names in college coaching he was the coach of the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits. When the USFL folded I wanted the Bills to fire Hank Bullough & hire Spurrier. That was before I read the 1986 media guide where it stated in Bill Polian's bio his close ties with Marv Levy. Anyone who read that bio knew that it was only a matter of time before Marv was going to come in & replace Bullough. I wonder if Bullough ever read it & realized he was dead coach walking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
