For those of you who are sitting around watching Seinfeld reruns on TBS, there's a potentially equivalent alternative.
At 3:00 p.m. ET, the inaugural UFL title game kicks off on Versus.
For those of you that don't have Versus (hello, fellow DirecTV subscribers), the game apparently will be streaming online, right here.
The Florida Tuskers will be playing the Las Vegas Locomotives will be playing at Sam Boyd Stadium, making it a home game for the team that didn't go undefeated in six UFL games.
UFL championship kicks off at the top of the hour

Oh no, it's a home game for the team that didn't go undefeated??? That's going to be a huge obstacle to overcome when the 12th man...ahem, 12 men who attend the game show up and mildly applause.
how did you know i was watching seinfeld? shrinkage and high talker.
Go Tuskers! Beat the overrated Locos. They can't even play with the best team in the UFL!
That's gonna be one rowdy crowd at Sam Boyd Stadium!!! Seriously, you couldn't pay me to go to that game. I'd rather jab myself in the eye with a rusty nail.
I would like to see Jim Haslett coaching in the NFL again.
Speaking of turds and shits we have a annual turd contest up here in the state of Minnesota. next year it will be called Big Turd2010. How it works is after you take a dump and turn around to admire its size and width (you know you do it) you snap a photo on your cell phone of the shit, single or double tapered it doesn't matter, and send it via email with your name to a email address i will provide you if you are interested. There is a nominal $5 entry fee which goes to the prize pool and maintenance costs of the website. At the end of the year our panel of judges will selects ten turds to be sent back out to all the people that entered a turd that year for a mass vote. Winner takes all as far as the cash and possesses the traveling trophy for the next years contest. Would you be interested? If so send me your email as we like to send out a mailer and a welcome packet
That first sentence made me laugh and gave me chills at the same time. I'm watching the Soup Nazi episode now which follows the Pledge drive one/where nana goes missing, and the one where the guys are at the beach and see George's girl topless.
Soup Nazi!!
I'm just trying to watch the motherf@*king game and the thing won't play - I keep getting a Men's Warehouse commercial over and over. Arghh!
no live blog?
TBS must have known they would be going up against such STIFF competition on Versus this afternoon, they've seriously broken out the best of the best of Seinfeld.
That's so sad
George: "Hey, I bought Jon Voight's Le Baron."
Kramer: "Bosssssssssssssssssssss."
Jim Haslett coaches Florida, Jim Fassell coaches Las Vegas. Ike Hilliard is the WR coach in Florida, and Amp Lee coaches the RB's in Vegas. JP Losman is the QB in Vegas, and Brooks Bollinger in the QB for Florida. It's like a Has-Been Bowl, and if it weren't for these guys, it would be the Never-Were Bowl! Then again, it IS football....so how bad can it be? They say that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, so watching the 2 best teams can't be THAT bad........can it?
Pulled it up to see, what a packed house. Yeah, this is gonna work. Channel that alot of people don't get, and no following even for a home championship game.
What's a Tusker?
Why does the UFL get more coverage on this site than the CFL?
Wow... like many, I was also watching Seinfeld. But, after reading this I did flip over to the UFL game, just in time to see Losman get sandwiched between 2 guys, and also in time to hear some player yell "GET THE F*** OVER THERE" No clue why he was yelling it, but I did find it kind of funny that it wasn't edited.
Tuskers or Auburn v Alabama. Tough choice.
Wonder when vs is going out of business with their hockey and tusker ratings.

I believe the answer is this?

UFL = massive fail.
The Iron Bowl is on.
Then we have Uconn vs. Duke. GO HUSKIES!
I'm watching this pathetic travesty now. The stadium is half empty (assuming that a quarter of the people are on the concourse during the half time show) and the half time show is being billed as "some of the greatest Las Vegas street performers".
"Hey dude, what you doing around 5pm on the Friday after Thanksgiving? Wanna dance and wear a costume at a football game?"
Kind of makes you wonder why they couldn't get Versus to broadcast this at night.
Uh, no it doesn't. This game is being played in the home city of one of the participants and no one is there.
No one. I mean no one, cares about this league.
Statement from the commisioner next. "Uh thanks for coming. We're folding tonight."
Worst * Halftime * Show * Ever
Game has had a few amusing moments. Odell Thurman is a good player but he has such a history of problems he's going to have a lot of trouble getting back in. Bollinger might be ok for a team that has lost it's starter and 2nd string QBs.
Fassell and Haslett both have these angry looks on their faces, as if they are thinking, "I've killed my coaching career. It's freakin' dead. I can't believe I did this."
I would say this is a train wreck, but one of the teams playing actually is named after trains.
I think there are more players, team staff and stadium staff than paid spectators. And then it looks like one team is wearing the home uniforms and the other the road uniforms for the same organization. Say what you want about the XFL or the USFL, but the duds were sharp!
Oh God, Jay Gruden is the O-coordinator of Florida and they've just rolled out Kordell Stewart to provide commentary.
This is a twisted version of Pro Football Where are They Now?
For some reason they've also enlisted Baltimore sports radio host Anita Marks. Maybe their hoping she'll redo that Playboy photo shoot she did a few years back.
Florida wideout just literally ran his entire route while being out of bounds, Anyone teach you stay in between the big white lines, homey?
Game still 7-3, Tuskers. May end that way. Announcers crediting stifling defense when it looks the offenses are unpolished and ineffective.
overtime! at least a team can't get the ball march it down the field and win with a field goal?
...and of course, Las Vegas wins with a field goal. Mercury Morris can go to sleep with a smile on his face tonight.
goin into OT- couldnt have scripted it better..hmm.. but most of this game sucked, the ot rules not bad where each team gets it once then it goes to sudden death if its still tied after..
Yeah. I was thinking that as I was watching....will the Dolphins pop the champagne tonight?
And by watching, I meant I was casually glancing at it while it was on one of my tvs.
But I won't be watching it again! I mean it's not liked I dvr'd it or anything.
Anita Marks didn't look too bad in that blue dress.
