Sec19Row53 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Here's a tip: if the question you are wondering is any form of 'will this new football league work?', the answer is no. Fans have no interest in anything other than the NFL and its long-established minor league (aka NCAA). I don't mean this as a slap against the CFL, so please don't imply one. It's where I sit.

dfwabel Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The obvious was announced this morning. No 2016 season. http://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/breaking-major-league-football-will-not-run-in-2016-games-have-been-cancelled/ They disguise their lack of funds to pay for anything (travel for players to camp, stadium leases, et al) as, "an abbreviated season would put your safety and quality of play in danger." https://m.facebook.com/majorleaguefootball/photos/a.1416519508645649.1073741828.1397372430560357/1549252428705689/?type=3&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.1549252428705689%3Atl_objid.1549252428705689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riddell just gave them four samples. It's not like they own anything. MLFB is broke, lied about two separate $120M investments or "letters of intent". They say that there will be "developmental season" this summer...whatever that means. I give them credit for NOT releasing any logos as HS coaches around the nation would've stolen them 30 days after their release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonBull9584 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 So... any updates? Last update I saw was July 1st saying that the season has been pushed back to Spring 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last update I saw was July 1st saying that the season has been pushed back to Spring 2017. FWIW, the stock is at 4.5 cents/share and a new CEO was named two weeks ago. Since they are publicly held, a federally mandated quarterly report (Form 10-Q) is due soon if not past due as the last one went out on 3/16/2017. They were evicted last year and have had no income to pay their debts for now years. Forms can be found and read a link like the one below. https://www.streetinsider.com/stock_lookup_news.php?q=MLFB&type=sec Vince Carter knows what's up...

Sure - chasing the dream that they can find enough suckers to pay for the privilege of paying in a "league" about which nearly no one will care. I'm not sure how that is a surprise (the fact that they're still trying to soak money from suckers, that is). It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Their stock is 4 cents/share. If one invested $1,000, you're likely able to commit a hostile takeover of a $hitshow. Note they are a bit late on their latest filings. Plus, THEY'VE NEVER MET THEIR OWN DEADLINES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonBull9584 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It almost seems like everyone wants to see this league fail. Sure they've had problem, but I don't see anyone being positive that they will work through them and we will get a new pro football league.

walkerws Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 The start of these leagues usually seem to be shady. The UFL was the best try since the USFL, but if they could get a couple seasons in, work out a suitable relationship with the NFL, maybe they could stay. It's all about getting tape for guys who aren't in the league so players will always be available. A regional system like currently exists in semipro football would be better but the span of control and teams is problematic. The NAFL was closest to this model.
