CowboysDiehard Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I love watching this league. The QB play is hit and miss, but it's just a bunch of fellas out there knocking heads hoping to get to the next level. It beats the hell out of watching nascar in the spring. It's a great concept, and I hope the NFL keeps it going. Just sayin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the NFL season is way behind us perhaps I'll give it another shot, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'm into other things in the spring, sports car and Indy Car racing (have several races on my DVR). March Madness, etc. I love football and watch tons of NFL during the season, miss it as playoffs wind down, but am ready for other things too. I doubt this league will fare much better than others, eve if it propped up by cash from the NFL. With limited TV exposure (mostly all cable, with lots of it on more obscure CBS Sports Net), and far from great local team support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaf Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I don't have CBS Sports or the NFL Network so you can guess how much I've seen of this league. I missed the "free" opening weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ready for a break from football for a bit once the playoffs end. And yeah, college basketball, NBA and NHL playoffs, etc. nicely bridge the gap from end of NFL season through to near the beginning of NFL team OTAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of practice squads it could be somewhere that they can develop young talent, etc. It will never happen because of the players union but I'd be more interested for sure.

I just found it hard to care when I wasn't even sure if it'd be around very long. Kinda like the USFL, XFL, arena football, etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 What a disaster, poorly setup to begin with, then take a big loan from somebody who has different ideas on how to run the league, who when he doesn't get his way pulls out and shuts the league down. I feel bad for the little people who were counting on jobs with teams/league. Not the billionaire investors who clearly had more money than brains.

purplemonster Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I would think this would reduce the appetite for another professional football league for a long time. Maybe ever. How many times are they going to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
