The UFL, and why I want it to work
Mr. WEO replied to WhitewalkerInPhilly's topic in The Stadium Wall
When did they start that? Kelly, Young and Walker went there, not because then NFKL didn't want them, but for better pay. Since then, all of these come and go incarnations of USFL/XFL/whatever almost exclusively have filled their rosters with guy s who couldn't get drafted or stay on a roster. Why do people endlessly claim that each new iteration will be a great developmental league for the NFL? It's not based in any reality---over decades. This has never been true. It's just mediocre to bad football that dies of fan disinterest. The new UFL is absolute proof of this failed concept. -

If there was any evidence that this was at all common in the long history of these leagues, then yeah, maybe. But it's not. The reality we all know is that hardly any one watches these games and at some point the broadcasters don't want to eat the losses incurred by producing them and the plug gets pulled. Until that inevitability, every NFL team is free to sign a guy from one of these leagues. It's so rare that they do--this means that the NFL has already done this math and they know there is little value in supporting those rosters for the very rare "call-up". Also, the NFL draft is a month after the UFL season starts. -

The NBA is far more like the NFL than MLB or NHL--nearly all of their players are from the NCAA via the draft. The difference is that a lot of the G league guys were actually drafted then sent to the G. This has been mentioned over and over--the NCAA is the NFL's minor league and it always will be. A handful of guys moving from one of these always doomed leagues to the NFL not withstanding... The reason is simple--that's where the best players are. Guys who couldn't make or stay on an NFL roster are the ones who play for these leagues. Have you seen the list of HC's in these leagues? These aren't developmental prospects. They are burnt out former NFL and NCAA guys, as well as random players . The "new" UFL features Wade Philips, Bob Stoops, Anthony Becht (from the Home Shopping Network!!) lol. I get that if you are really jonesing for any football at all once the NFL is done for the year, this is certainly something to put on your TV in the background while you do other stuff. Hard to imagine spending one week after another in front of the tube watching this stuff after 2 or 3 weeks. -
Teams are rarely sold. How would an investor group cash out? If they sold their limited partnership share to someone else, how does each subsequent fractional institutional fractional owner reap their reward? I guess these portions of the ownership of a team can trade endlessly on speculation. But the reality is that the team will likely not be sold for decades.

This is pro football. Both teams are guaranteed a possession in the playoffs---this has made the coin toss less important. If you lose the toss and the other team takes the ball first, stop them from scoring, or at least stop a TD. If both teams score a TD or a FG, then the game continues. College is a joke--look no further than Penn State/Illinois a few years ago--endless 2 point conversions form the 25 after the third OT. People will whine about anything.
