A Rival to the NFL?

Just read a report that some billionaires want to create a "United Football League" to try and fill the professional football gap in cities that do not have an NFL squad. The owner says he doesn't plan to poach NFL players, but rather use players that get cut by the NFL (claiming that most of the final cut players are interchangeable with those who do make the team).

Hmmm, a league that relies on the scrubs who can't make the grade in the NFL. Umm, hasn't that been tried before? I think it was called the XFL. A renegade league that tried to be the "fun" alternative to the No Fun League....it sputtered and collapsed...there already aren't enough players to fill 32 rosters with top-notch talent...but we're supposed to believe there are enough player to outfit another league? Doubtful. I mean there's already Arena Football, NFL Europa, and the CFL to employ guys who can't make the NFL. Why pretend to have a comparable product in other cities?

The UFL wants to put teams in Vegas, LA and Mexico City....better sign that deal with Unovision or ESPN Espanol fellas...call it NFL Mexicana....
