Where’s Michael Huygue in all this?

He’s looks like he’s escaping trouble.

It’s absurd the NFL doesn’t have a minor league. Please don’t say the NCAA is a minor league because it has a time limit. By the time the kids “graduate” they’re in their prime athletically but may not have the right opportunity. The UFL could have been it if the billionaire owners had helped fund the league for the good of the sport.

That’s a shame. NFL needs a minor league system really bad with the amount of injuries that occur.

I never could stand Schottenheimer due to his Raider-hatred but I have no problem acknowledging that he was an excellent HC.

I do have to thank A.J. Smith for his ego. If he wasn’t so insecure and could function with a qualified HC than he wouldn’t feel the need to be working with an incompetent ingratiator….and the Chargers would’ve been much better then they have been over the last 5+ years.

Again, thanks to the Bolts for the self-destructive acts of their GM.

What is this UFL you are speaking of? Unemployed Footballers League?

Big surprise that a league tries to challenge the NFL, gets no coverage because it is trying to garner TV endorsements from the same pie as the NFL, and is failing. What were they thinking? Try a spring league, or a summer league. Or try working WITH the NFL to be a type of NFL minor league system.

I’ve seen a couple of UFL games and thought they were actually kind of fun. Disappointed if it folds since it at least gave players a chance to play.

May be Marty and A J Smith could hook up again for the last animosity tour in SD.

I know that one and done in 06 to the Pats was embarrassing.. But I don’t see how Shottenheimer could have done a worse job than Norv has the past 5 years. The Chargers are one of the most underachieving teams in any sport over the past 5-6 years. I don’t think it’s crazy to say they have won or at least made an appearance in the Super Bowl if Shotty wasn’t fired.

Can that league even afford to keep it’s other coaches, let only the players in the league? These guys just seem above this. The NFL should adopt a legit minor league; every other major sport has one.

I’ve never seen a UFL game and I’m sure I don’t want to.
