Flbillsfan#1 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 The question is: how much are the players gonna get paid based on a 6 game season?.....uh i doubt your gonna see many big contracts in this league. No you won't see big contracts, it will be a minor league for the NFL.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Maybe someone perhaps the NFL and the remaining owners of the AFL , should come up with a plan for a 16 team league where each team is shared by 2 NFL franchises. Make it in the spring, and allocate players to the teams. , and play indoors ( most markets that have AFL teams dont have big outdoor stadiums )...but lose some of the gimmicks of the AFL....make it a true minor league for the NFL. I know the world league didnt make it but they were using european markets. take the most successful AFL markets, award them franchises. I live in tiny Ft Myers Fla, and we have 2 indoor teams, the Florida Firecats of afl2, and the Florida Stingrays of the CIFL. We also have a very successful ECHL team, and i think a new league should be like a AA baseball league or ECHL. Let young kids get a chance to play between college and the NFL. Practice squad players, college free agents, etc....Im calling Roger to get this thing going. I would not mind it in the spring, but it needs to be OUTDOORS. The Arena league has already failed. I live just north of you. A SMALL stadium can be built when needed because of the number of fans, in the meantime a HS stadium could be used.

How far north of me?....maybe they can use vacant spring college football stadiums, even in the smaller markets. I think alot of true football fans were turned off by the AFL because it didnt feel like real football.

Theres a place on Sanibel Island where the owners are from Buffalo, they have Webers, Sahlens, etc, and Chris Berman is known to frequent there ( he has a house on Sanibel ), Its called Schnappers, closest you can get to Teds without being in Buffalo, minus the secret sauce.

I will have to check it out when I'm down that way. I MISS Mighty Taco as well.
