TrueYankee26 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 After over 100 years, the NFL faces their toughest competitor. One that threatens to run the NFL out of business. A rich Saudi businessman born in New York named Kamil Abdulaziz* dreams of creating a competitor league to the NFL. The NFL rejected his bid to purchase his favorite team, the Jets, and he took that personally like Michael Jordan. so he creates the Gladiators of the Gridiron Football League, with Vince McMahon, Paramount Global and Warner Bros as co-founders. Abdulaziz gets a lot of interest from NFL teams to join but the shield gave them an ultimatum: if they join the GGFL, they would be banned for life from the NFL even if the GGFL folded and wanted to join the NFL again, so they backed off. The NFL did the same to Paramount and Warner, but that did not deter them. So Abdulaziz recruits businessmen from Saudi Arabia and other wealthy Gulf countries to own the GGFL teams. The teams would be in almost all existing NFL markets plus markets underserved or deserted by the NFL. Eastern Conference Atlantic Division Boston Barons Buffalo Stampede New Jersey Cardinals New York Orangemen New York Pride Philadelphia Keystones Mid-Atlantic Division Baltimore Blackbirds Norfolk Cavaliers Pittsburgh Yellow Knights Richmond Rhinos Washington Colonials West Virginia Bears Midwest Division Chicago Hussars Cincinnati White Tigers Cleveland Comets Columbus Cadets Detroit Saracens Indianapolis Chariots Florida Division Fort Lauderdale Caimans Jacksonville Ducks Miami Bottlenoses Orlando Swans Tallahassee Braves Tampa Swashbucklers Southern Division Atlanta Vultures Charlotte Cheetahs Memphis Dogs Nashville Catfish New Orleans Crayfish St. Louis River Dragons Western Conference Lone Star Division Austin Rustlers Dallas Rangers Fort Worth Armadillos El Paso Xolos Houston Wildcats Lubbock Vaqueros San Antonio Eagles Mountain Division Denver Mountaineers Kansas City Butchers Minnesota Loons Milwaukee Moors Omaha Big Green Phoenix Firebirds Salt Lake Hornets Wichita Reapers Northwest Division Boise Pacers Portland Power Oakland Jumbos Sacramento Lumberjacks San Francisco Wolves San Jose Hammerheads Seattle Ospreys Spokane Gunners SoCal Division Anaheim Missions Bakersfield Bulls Long Beach Scorpions Los Angeles Vipers Riverside Magic San Bernadino Matadors San Diego Sailboats The regular season is split into the Spring and Fall seasons. 24 games with 2 bye weeks = 26 weeks. Spring season and Fall season have 12 games (13 weeks). Eastern Conference teams: 10 division games, 6 intraconference games, 8 interconference games. Western Conference teams (Lone Star and SoCal teams): 12 division games, 7 or 8 intraconference games, 4 or 5 interconference games. Western Conference teams (Mountain and Northwest teams): 14 division games, 7 or 8 intraconference games, 2 or 3 interconference games. Season starts after the Super Bowl, and the Playoff system is the same as the NFL. Spring Season concludes with the Alpha Bowl in June and the Fall season starts on the Last Sunday of August and concludes on the last Sunday of December with the Omega Bowl. The winners of the Alpha Bowl and Omega Bowl (unless 1 team wins both, which means the team with the best record of the non bowl winners gets the bid) meet in the Emirates Bowl which will take place in stadiums around the world, which takes place in the same day as the Super Bowl. It gives players the chance to travel the world as well as compete in a high stakes football game. The winner of the Emirates Bowl not only wins the Emirates Trophy, which is a 24 karat gold Stanley Cup like trophy with Arabic accents and some elements of the host city (eg. London would have the Big Ben tower and Paris would have the Eiffel Tower next to the trophy), every single player earns a million dollar bonus and the winning franchise goes home with 25 million dollars. CBS, CBS Sports Network, Paramount Network, Paramount+ The CW, TNT, TBS, TruTV, HBO Max are the broadcasters. *Once again, a made up person so any semblances to a real person is coincidental.. 1 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 A followup to the Gladiators of the Gridiron Football League story.. 3 years after the GGFL's founding in 2022, the NFL is sweating bullets. They lose CBS, elite college prospects to this new fledgling, monied league, even some stars like Tom Brady jumps to the Gladiators of the Gridiron Football League in the 2024 season, as he recently led the San Francisco Wolves to an undefeated season and an Emirates Bowl win over the New York Pride, who won the first two. Goodell quickly reverses the ban on people involved in the GGFL. He also formed a partnership with the Saudi government that sends NFL ambassadors there to promote the century-old league. He quickly announces expansion teams in markets that were abandoned recently and even the past. Also a return of the Central divisions that were scrapped in 2002 so both conferences have 5 divisions, for a total of 10. The NFL playoffs expanded once again, this time to 20 teams.

McCall Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Here's my plan for a "Power Division" of the NCAA or separate association, however you want to look at it. There are currently 64 power 5 conference schools. Add in the 4 incoming to the B XII (BYU, Cincinnati, Houston & UCF) and you get 68. Notre Dame, for all intents and purposes, is a power 5 school who's independent, so add them. That brings the total to 69 schools. Well with 72, you can make 6 conferences of 12, so I added Boise State, Memphis (who I think should've been in the Big XII additions), & San Diego State. They seem to be the next group of Group of 5 schools who are either legit contenders each year or get mentioned in expansion talks. So next, I decided to split them regionally like many suggest. I then just re-used current conference names (and rehashed the old Southwest Conference name) for the hell of it. This is what I came up with. A few notes: the Utah schools seem to fit better with the Pacific Northwest schools, so they went out west and the Arizona schools, the southwest. Colorado seemed to fit better there as well. The southeast/atlantic region had multiple avenues of alignment. In the end, a rather simple SEC-ACC split worked out pretty well. Even though I was trying to keep same-state-schools together as much as possible, Florida and Georgia Tech were swapped because it bridged the gap, so to speak, between Florida and the other ACC schools, and was just too easy to keep those traditional alignments in place. REGION WEST SOUTHWEST MIDWEST EAST SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC CONF. NAME PAC-12 SOUTHWEST BIG 12 BIG TEN SEC ACC Boise State Arizona Illinois Boston College Alabama Clemson BYU Arizona State Indiana Cincinnati Auburn Duke California Arkansas Iowa Maryland Florida Florida State Oregon Baylor Iowa State Michigan Georgia Georgia Tech Oregon State Colorado Kansas Michigan State Kentucky Miami San Diego State Houston Kansas State Nortre Dame Louisville NC State Stanford Oklahoma Minnesota Ohio State LSU North Carolina UCLA Oklahoma State Missouri Penn State Memphis South Carolina USC TCU Nebraska Pittsburgh Mississippi State UCF Utah Texas Northwestern Rutgers Ole Miss Virginia Washington St Texas A&M Purdue Syracuse Tennessee Virginia Tech Washington Texas Tech Wisconsin West Virginia Vanderbilt Wake Forest Here's a color-coded map of the regions. (I simply noted Arkansas with the color where they're located in the state to show their proximity to the rest of the Southwest Conference.) 1 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyMcFlyKavanaugh Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Here’s my (much-improved) plan for a 32-team MLB realignment with the addition of Nashville (Stars was the reported nickname) and Montreal Expos 2.0 (instead of Charlotte as I imagined a couple years back). This assumes the Rays stay put and the A’s remain out west (Oakland or possibly Vegas). A western expansion team would complicate things as the Rockies would be roped in with the Central teams. Annual home-and-home interleague pairings: Blue Jays-Expos, Red Sox-Phillies, Yankees-Mets, Orioles-Nats, Guardians-Reds, Tigers-Pirates, White Sox-Cubs, Twins-Brewers, Royals-Cardinals, Stars-Braves, Rays-Marlins, Astros-Rangers, Rockies-D’backs, Mariners-Padres, A’s-Giants, Angels-Dodgers. Why flip the Rockies and Rangers? To evenly split the 8 western clubs and two Texas teams between the leagues. And with the NFL’s Raiders gone to Vegas this (maybe) creates a new Oakland-Denver rivalry (and Seattle-Denver as well). Why not the Astros? Three recent AL pennants. Plus the Brewers aren’t returning to the AL, so why return the Astros to the NL? Nationals in the NL South? Fifty years ago the Washington Senators left RFK Stadium for Dallas-Ft. Worth... “How ‘bout them Rangers?” Edited July 13, 2022 by MartyMcFlyKavanaugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The NFL kept their teams from joining the GGFL. MLB.... was not so lucky. MLB faces a takeover bid whcih they fend off. But the man behind the takeover, an Englishman named Malcolm Cash*, create the Premier League of Baseball, and successfully lures the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Braves, Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, Dodgers, Angels, Astros and Giants. In response, the MLB tries to sue and lose. So they call up minor league teams of those clubs to MLB and replace the defecting teams.
