I think the NFL should suck the UFL up, treat it as a minor league system like what baseball has (tho maybe not as many “levels”). Teams could move folks up/down like in baseball, etc. The minor league teams could be based in smaller markets, just like in baseball. It’s always been cool seeing some guy fight up the ranks for a few years in baseball to finally make it to the big leagues….the NFL should move to that sort of system – will save the league money, lower ticket prices, and also keep people like Jabustus Russel from getting into the NFL.

A psuedo-pro league that touted Colt Brennan as “an ex-NFL superstar” in a press release deserves to lose millions.

Simply put, Colt Brennan sucks and there’s a reason he flopped on 3 NFL teams (counting his Texans tryout).

I want the UFL to work, but unless the NFL buys in, forget it…..it’s over.

And a five team league is about as cool as a WNBA develpment league.

I have season tickets to the Colonials (yeah rip on me, whatever it’s a fun time and you can get drunk) and I think it would be a shame if the UFL folded. It’s a good family experience and a good opportunity for lesser known players to make their names known. I mean I pay $140 for two season ticket seats front row. It’s good football people! All these players have some legit experience and I really encourage everyone to at least try a game before they rip on it.

The league already had a minor league called the World Legue/NFL Europe/NFL Europa that they didn’t want to keep funding. Plus, why would they pay money for the UFL rather than just start their own minor league for free, should they so wish?

I’d like to see it be a Spring league. Starting right after the NFL draft and ending around the 4th of July.

Not having a television deal will kill it. I’d like to see the NFL pick them up as a “minor league”. But, we’ll see.

The way the NFL acts, I’d watch the UFL. At least I know there’s guys playing for the love of the game.
