New Football League?

It would seem to me that if you wanted to break into professional sports you would choose a sport that isn't dominated by the biggest sports corporation in the world supported by such a huge fanbase.

I'd rather take on the MLB or the NBA where their leagues are truly being run into the ground.

Good point--
and how much football talent is truly left out there? It's not like a 12 man NBA roster.

Maybe with the NFL tightening their conduct rules, the UFL thinks that more players would be available- Ricky, Pac-man, the Vick brothers, Rae Carruth, Tank, Antonio Bryant, the Bengals...

I do not know how much is left but they did make a good point about the USFL. You never know. They got the money I say go for it. It may work to the level that it bring a minor league structure to the nfl here in the states. Think it would be nice if in ten years they prove themselves and join in with NFL europe. That would allow us to see some of the players we have over there and give the nfl the world wide base the want so bad. Without sending NFL teams overseas to sell the product. just a thought.
