Who are you and how dare you start a new thread?     ;)  ;)  ;)   

 

There also will be no kickoffs (the ball will be placed automatically at the 25-yard line) and no onside kicks. The losing team will just start on their own 35-yard-line with fourth-and-10. Play clocks are 30 seconds and every touchdown has to be followed by a two-point conversion attempt.

 

What does that mean?

I somehow should have tied this to who we should draft at QB, comp picks and salary cap

LMAO.    

 

Don't forget their bigotry towards kickers 

 

Oh and while you are at it - please explain why I never see a Painted Post in Painted Post NY.  

 

(sorry) Back on topic    So they are going to get their league up and running a year before the other guys ....

I suppose this means that after a team scores and goes for two, they can either give the other team the ball at their 25 or they can keep the ball at their own 35 in a 4th and 10 situation...  Same boom or bust scenario as an onside kick and usually only would be endeavoured by the team that is "losing" / behind in score

the term "losing team" is confusing

I agree... I think they meant the team that is behind in score. I think that's the only explanation that really makes any sense

I've been wanting to see a minor league for the NFL that is based in regional cities/ college towns and is focused on skill /career development.  Anxious to see the cities/markets but I trust these guys to deliver football, as opposed to whatever Vince McMahon dishes up

If it works half as well as NFL Europe that would be cool.  That is how we found Fred Jackson IIRC.

Ten weeks of pro football after the Super Bowl.

 

Could be a good farm system for the NFL.

 

I like it.
