What is happening in 2011?

I voted no, but I have heard some very positive hype about it. I will watch it next year fo sho.

NFL may have have a lockout in 2011, so the season wouldn't happen.

He doesnt just shut down recievers, he makes plays like a true defender

Have you not been following the news lol? They are more than likely going to get rid of the salary cap next year.

Because the CBA deal is coming to an end, and they haven't been able to come to a new agreement...

I voted no, but thinking about it, I think it's cool that players who are just below NFL Level, be it washed up or not ready, have a chance to play football. With NFL Europe and the AFL folding, all that was left was the CFL.

The only think I dislike about the UFL is that they run their season during the NFL Season when people aren't football deprived. Dumb move IMO. There's a reason the AFL succeeded for 20+ years, and it's because they milked their "football in the off-season" and "cure to Post Super Bowl Stress Disorder" mantra.

I voted yes because I really think it would benefit the NFL and if they change the way they market it and change the schedule so that it doesn't start until after the NFL season is over it could actually have some success. Seriously, right now they're competing with the NFL and college football...no way in hell are they going to generate a lot of interest going up against those monsters. Also, they need to stop advertising themselves as "Where Future Stars Come to Play"...nobody is that dumb to actually believe that ****...they need a new slogan.

I'll never watch it unless it's all that on, but yes I do care about it from this standpoint. It is the NFL's version of the NBA's developmental league. While the players may not be particularly connected to any certain team, it sort of serves the same purpose. Do I want it to die? No. I'm still rather disgruntled about the AFL going down the drain. Honestly.

What I find funny is all we ever hear of the UFL in forums like such...as topics exactly like this one. I think that statement alone says a lot about the NFL fans' desire to pay any attention to the UFL. I think a lot of NFL fans tried to give it a chance, thought they might like it, but in the end...we'd all rather watch constant NFL Draft Coverage over any UFL game. I watched a few minutes of a game or 2 last season and its just not professional football in my mind....doesn't compare.

Did I hear correctly that the California Redwoods are now called the Sacramento Mountain Lions???

seanbrock :	(03 September 2010 - 04:31 PM) Dez is good, but can a rookie really carry a WR corps?
Phailadelphia :	(03 September 2010 - 04:31 PM) dez should get a lot of single coverage outside and roy will continue to be a decoy
Phailadelphia :	(03 September 2010 - 04:31 PM) well you still have witten too.
seanbrock :	(03 September 2010 - 04:31 PM) yeah...unless Miles gets hurt

Phailadelphia :	(03 September 2010 - 04:42 PM) Pat McQuistan to Miami - lolwut
Zack_of_Steel :	(03 September 2010 - 04:43 PM) He's jealous that Ben is better than him so he drags him through the mud.
BucD :	(03 September 2010 - 04:43 PM) Dudes gone senile..
BucD :	(03 September 2010 - 04:44 PM) Probably forgot to take his meds.
SteVo :	(03 September 2010 - 04:44 PM) Yeah all I hear these old time players talk about is how players have no allegiance to their teams and just jump ship to free agency freely. Well wtf Terry.
BucD :	(03 September 2010 - 04:44 PM) They are just made because they weren't making the bank the players are making today.
BucD :	(03 September 2010 - 04:44 PM) mad*
