So what do you guys think of the league it looks like a go but will it last.

I'm all for it. I dont live and die by the NFL anyway. Any other option is fine with me. They will play in the spring, and not compete for talent like the USFL did, so as long as people pay to sit in the stadiums I think they will succeed.

I havent heard if they will have a TV deal or not, that always helps sweeten the pot.

And dont forget this one, Mark Cuban is involved:

helmets for the AAFL

I guess the league is limited to 50 teams.
 
 

Well, technically, they could include Central and South 'America'.

Brazil v Chile

Well, technically, they could include Central and South 'America'.

The teams are named after states.

Brazil and Argentina would have to have teams in states as well. Brazil is pretty large after all.

I was only kidding, of course. But, if college football in South America ever takes off...well?

This league is is about to fold.

Wow, thats just sad. I was looking forward to this. If it's true, I also think an issue may have been the new UFL. From what I gather they are going to play in the fall, but in non NFL cities, and likely pay competetive wages. I think I read they would pay similar to the bottom 3rd of an NFL roster. Thats good money, and maybe some players were looking to that one. But I dont know.

I think people will warm to a standard professional league, as opposed to the AAFL, which would to some extent, be a traveling road show. Home games here and there. I will buy season tickets to the Orlando UFL team, they will play here. But I wouldnt buy them for the AAFL Florida team, because im not traveling all over the state to see a game.

I do hope they can give it a go.

 
With this picture of the unies and the above link to the helmets is anyone doing Jersies for max for this league?

Any idea what happen to this league?

Nothing yet on UFL - they're going for next season as is the AAFL - lets see if either one gets something in place, after the AAFL crashed and burned right before they were getting going I don't have a whole lot of faith in either one.
 

I dont either. But I do think the UFL is better suited to survive. Decent pay, non-NFL cities.....keep the expectations low and they could be a successful league. Especially if ownership is on the level of mark Cuban.

They'll need a network TV deal though...and that could be a tough sell.

As I've stated time and time again proper control of their finances will be critical for success and the proposed player salary cap of $20 million will do that. A guy like Vick could get maximum value in the UFL for essentially what could be NFL conditioning; personally I'd hate to see him leave after a year in but most likely someone in the NFL would make him an offer if he is re-instated.
 
Hartford UFL East Hartford, CT Rentschler Field (40,000)
Las Vegas UFL Las Vegas, NV Sam Boyd Stadium (36,800)
Los Angeles UFL Los Angeles Cal TBA Mark Cuban
New York UFL New York City Citi Field (45,000)
Orlando UFL Orlando Fla TBA
San Francisco UFL San Francisco Bay Area TBA

Hmmmm
Should he be re-instated though thats the question, I dont think he should
things he allowed on his property were unforgivable

I have to agree with you on that.I am glad to see that the CFL is honouring NFL suspensions.That said Vick could do for the UFL what Bobby hull did for the WHA.

Ray Lewis conspired to cover up who killed a man...

Vick's actions were totally repugnant... should that mean he can never play football again?  I have to say no, but I also don't have to like that.

I think as inhumane and terrible as it was to say what he did were unforgivable is a little harsh.  Some players have gotten away with a lot worse.  I personally like to see when people get a second chance.

Im of the same mind here I guess, as far as second chances. Vick was naughty, he was punished, now I would say let him play. Ricky Williams is playing.
It's the guys that dont learn, and keep making mistakes, then are allowed to play over and over again. Drives me bats.

However, I dont think the NFL is obligated to ever allow him to play. He can go play in the CFL, UFL or whatever. The NFL is a business, they dont owe him a job. But he can try elsewhere.
