United Football League?

[enterthemadness]

Fast track in 2008, but only one owner and three cities so far. Will it taek off or not?

There's the NFL and to a lesser extent the AFL (on ESPN 2 and *believe* local FSN channels)

Would wtach at least one game if the league has a season.

It's not going to take off and the AFL will die eventually. Competing against the NFL is just plain stupid.

Probably right.

AFL...needs to keep teams in cities long term, not...short term. Looking at the teams just now...it seems like they've kept quite a few from years past. 21st year this year....

It could work as another developmental leauge.

The AFL will stagger on I think. It is growing - though slowly.

However thats pretty much it. There is more demand for Pro Football than supply, however its for NFL football - not Generic Brand Pro Football.

NFL Europe is sponsored by the NFL. Why would a young player go outside the NFL family if he hopes to join the NFL ranks?

This league will lack stars - and you need stars for sports to succeed.

That is why hockey is dead.

It will be another XFL and nothing more.
