Oh boy!

[teef]

This all sounds reasonable.

He wants 20m per year or he ain't playing

You have this usfl and xfl starting soon.  If those leagues were smart, they’d try to get a few guys like this to get some eyes on them to start up.

I think calling Fan Controlled Football "professional football" is a bit generous.

I wonder if he still has the key to Buffalo.

I saw him on pawn stars trying to sell it.

Right! Owens would be great for USFL. 

 

WTF is "fan controlled football?"

This is a new one on me, too.

Fan Controlled Football (FCF) is a professional indoor football league created in 2017 as the first sports league controlled by fans. All games are played at the Pullman Yards in Atlanta, Georgia and broadcast on Twitch, NBCLX, and Peacock.

 

It was created by Project Fanchise, who established the first fan-controlled professional sports franchise, the Salt Lake Screaming Eagles, and operated the Colorado Crush to play in the Indoor Football League in 2017 before Fanchise pulled both teams out of the league.

 

Players are paid weekly minimum of $400 to $750 plus room and board, while coaches get paid $3,500 per month with housing and meal plan. FCF CEO Sohrob Farudi confirmed in March 2021 that the league planned to play two seasons a year, one in the spring and one in the fall,[5] and has plans to expand to 20 teams by year five.

Fan controlled football sounds like a strategic board game.

I met him once on an ESPN gig. He shook my hand, but was very suspicious of me in my Bills hat.

I'm thinking we may be able to class TO as one of the reported 75% of NFL players who are broke within years of leaving football?

Why suspicious?

[Warcodered]

I just thought it was that time of year where he unretires.

I think there were mixed feelings amongst fans when he was in Buffalo. That year also represented quite a drop-off in production compared to his previous three years, and he may have felt some dissatisfaction with himself-- who knows. But he definitely had a look of trepidation when he saw my hat. And this was in Los Angeles.
