Days until camp opens ...

SapperSaint 02-15-2012 08:44 PM

I am suddenly depressed.

How many days until the draft?

I'm excited to see how we handle it with all the new defensive coaches...

RockyMountainSaint 02-15-2012 08:58 PM

This reminds me of my 35th birthday.

I was fine until my friend pointed out that I was officially closer to 40 than 30.

Thanks...........

Its all good. It's better than me looking forward to getting my vasectomy.

Free agency time and the draft will be a tiny blip in the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I hate the end of football season. Why doesn't the NFL have a spring league?

No guaranteed contracts in the NFL.

One injury and you have nothing.

Also, NFL teams carry 53 dudes plus practice squad.

Basketball teams carry something like 12 dudes.

Easier to put a team together with some real talent.

5 starting dudes vs 22 starting dudes plus back-up dudes and special teams dudes..............

I know your question was rhetorical but it got me thinking.

I now there are more reasons but it won't happen so.....

The level of play was semi average but I kind of miss NFL Europe, it took the place of no NFL in the spring and every once in a while someone would come back here and make it in the NFL (Jake, Warner) plus with Goddell determined to expand the NFL globally wouldn't NFL Europe make sense now

The ? is how much $ will it make?

Merchandising would have an initial spike but how do you sustain it?

Unless there is a HUGE guaranteed payoff for ALL of the NFL owners, I don't see them being on board with globalism.

We know Dallas, New England, Oakland and both NY teams etc will sell jerseys and hats.
Does anyone believe that Buff, JAX, CAR, TB and most others will sell anything?

I just don't see it working. I am not at all interested.

Actually the last year before getting shut down NFL Europe set attendance records for all 6 teams. Especially in Germany, who had 5 teams in the end, the leauge is greatly missed. I played in the european championships in 2010 in Frankfurt and during the games you would see more Frankfurt Galaxy jerseys in the stands than German Nationalteam merchandise.
