On the NFL Network schedule, I see one game showing on Thursday 2-May at 20:00 EDT with a repeat at 00:30 on 3-May.

Moving teams would be the death knell for the league. Holding a gun to fans heads and tell them in year one, "If you don't show up, we'll yank your team" is no way to win support. Why bother if the team's not going to be here next year? Why would ANY fan support a team in that league if that's the threat? They didn't have an offseason to market the league because of the merger. Michigan didn't start selling tickets until 2 weeks before kickoff. Houston's in a new venue since TDECU is being renovated right now. TV numbers are good, better than either league at this time last season. It's not time to hit the panic button.

I believe that the late merger finalization really put the screws to finding venue dates and broadcast times for all teams and so doubling up games for 3 weeks was a necessity.

But this is supposed to be the premiere indoor football league paying their players more than the UFL. I agree with everyone else. I don't see this league making a full season.

By his timelines, we've got around 2 months for that to happen.

Wait, which nut job with the MLFB is this one... Frank Murtha, or the other jackass? Wow, actually listened to the video. This is such a trainwreck. He came so close to saying, "We're going to pay players in exposure". We want the best talent, but we're going to pay them from ticket sales... and coaches should coach for the love of the game...

He can finally rest as his wife's killer has been brought to justice.

I'm shocked there's still little tangible news out of this league. The more I see of the IFL, the less I have hopes for the return of the AFL. The IFL appears to be a solid league, setting itself as the premiere Indoor/Arena football league.

I hope he comes back next year and continues his journey with the Brahmas. Dude is a class act.

De La Haye fractured his neck in multiple places. No idea what happened with Mollette, but he's expected to return. Vasher hasnt' seen the field much with the Roughnecks receivers getting so many catches.

The Lions have already reached out to him.

Sorry, it's never OK to throw things on the field. Have your fun otherwise, but don't become the lemon-chuckers of the UFL. (See Cleveland or Philly for how bad that could get)

I totally approve of the Jean DeLance Dumbass Award. Needs to happen every week.

I too think if it were the late game attendance would have been higher... but still Easter. If we win this weekend, I expect more than 20k in the dome for St. Louis. Brahmas got a LOT of publicity on the sports shows and across YouTube due to the ballsy calls. Also, Brad Wing is a character. They need to put the mic closer to his face. He's not the type to lean forward.

Players that were on the team were automatically slotted on the team coming into the draft. Teams drafted about 28 from the pool of released players from defunct teams going into training camp. With roster churn, I'd say about half the team from last year was on the opening day roster for this season. As a Brahmas fan, I know there was a LOT of players that didn't come back from last year as well as a new coach/new philosophy looking for a different type of player so we have about 1/4th of the team returning from last year.
