Using a smiley face on your professional football website and an old sideways text emoticon at that? Even the board here automatically switches it to an emoji automatically when I try to post it as text. That's the sort of rubbish I'd expect from a UK semi-pro hockey league (either that or multiple exclamation points), not a league selling itself as an NFL alternative. I'm region locked out of the news article, but this has delusions of grandeur written all over it. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew24 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I just found this league and thread today.. Oh god what the heck did i get myself into. The league logo looks really bad. Also found the team list. Houston, Texas: Why? The city will have an XFL team, So you just basically going to fail in the market. Mobile, Alabama: Okay, not a bad choice. Almost had a PSFL team before it died a quick death. (wonder who will do a "what is" story with that league?) Canton, Ohio: Dumb and also the championship game to be contested there? Wonder who will tune it to watch it. Probably me while drinking a few beers. Dayton Beach, Florida: Actually a good rival to Mobile and Houston. Good choice but again who will watch it? Sacramento, California: Wow.. you pushing it on this one. Seriously why that far? The teams are mostly in east and south eastern USA so that a far ways to play a game? Even the CFL had issues with it with the USA Experiments. Just no.. also to awnser your question @neo_prankster, Probably people who were forced or had no choice in going. and finally.. Shreveport, Louisiana: Please.. anywhere from here. I live near Shreveport (about less then 90 miles to and from Shreveport). Shreveport never really get to keep a football team for long. Thinking the Pirates are the longest one Outdoors? Might be the only team actually to play football outdoors. But seriously, I don't care what the team will be called but I probably will hate it. If they resurrect the Shreveport Pirates I probably lose it. That leaves two unannounced teams. I be waiting to see what they will be called. For now i need relax. Thanks for reading.
