There is so much money in the NFL...it's getting a little ridiculous, in fact. My worst nightmare is that the NFL someday turns into the WWF.

It is my opinion, however, that the exorbitant amount of money that the NFL is bringing in could help bolster a sagging US economy if spent/invested properly.

I have always marveled at the nostalgia, for lack of better word, that minor league baseball brings to America and it's smaller towns. Minor league football could catch-on like wildfire, IMO, if the NFL and it's owners and maybe even more wealthy players invested in it. Attaching their names and faces and more importantly money to the venture would give everybody something. The people in smaller towns like the one I'm living in now, Charleston, WV, would now have another alternative for entertainment not to mention the money that would be brought to the local economy. The NFL owners would now have more than just a practice squad to place project players, and there would be more jobs for everyone.

I'm rambling now, but I think it is food for thought. I would love to see minor league football catch-on in the US the way minor league baseball has. IMO, minor league baseball is a way of life for some small town residents.
