Re: NFL talks about pulling plug on NFL Europa
Seems to me like this is the right opportunity for Mark Cuban to swoop in with his proposed football league and go to the owners and say "Look, I've got the money. I'll bankroll a developmental league in the springtime here in the US for you guys"

Re: NFL talks about pulling plug on NFL Europa
Yeah, spring football in the US would probably work. The USFL was making a game of it until they tried to directly compete with the NFL. If the NFL actually encouraged rather than fight a new spring league - I bet it would flourish.

Re: NFL talks about pulling plug on NFL Europa
Good idea Smootie. Cuban wants in football bad and being stuck watching baseball in the spring sucks. Spring sports up here in Detroit usually is good with the Wings and Pistons in the playoffs, but I can see a drop coming with both franchises, Tigers are cool, but not a big baseball guy. Spring football would be nice.

Re: NFL talks about pulling plug on NFL Europa
I hope the NFL makes plans for a developmental league here in the states in the spring, I would support that idea because it would give fans football to watch from here in the states during the spring and it would also develop younger players that could be great provided they put the work in.

I love the CFL and would like to see the NFL adopt some of the rules used in the CFL. Obviously the CFL is not the NFL but at least its real football. |

The CFL is played on a real field with a full compliment of players. AFL is played on a hockey rink with what 5 or 6 guys, thats not real football. I dont hate the AFL any more than I hate monster trucks or poker. They are all interesting but not real sports. |

I do consider AFL to be football, I just don't like it. I don't like the whole 50 yard field, plus the high scoring games. Maybe if the AFL changed it's regulations n whatnot to the same as the NFL I would like it more.

Re: NFL talks about pulling plug on NFL Europa
Yes it is finally over. I could not be happier with that. I hated NFLE because people go over there and the media tries to hype up someone who sucks.
