Referring to Arlington's win as the "most inspirational underdog run in recent memory" and saying it puts Perez "in the same class as Namath" is pretty fancy, aka, over-the-top language. Guess I should've specified that "fancy" also implied "over-the-top". Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there's a couple more noteworthy players that opt into a roster for 2024 before week one. Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

He has also said nothing about playing in the UFL in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston had his rights, he said no and ended up in San Antonio in the middle of season. He got hurt and finished on the injured list. I don't know if he wants to do that again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also expect him to not be first or second choice with San Antonio, even if he shows up to camp. He's started a YouTube channel of himself playing in Madden 24.

GDAWG Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Apparently there's going to be a league called Major League Football (not the one that made it to camp in 2022 and failed to kick off that stranded players in Mobile) that plans on playing in the fall.....directly against the NFL, but in cities that are not in the NFL: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MLFB isn't coming back and they lost one of their coaches today when Jerry Glanville (yes that Jerry Glanville) took a job as Defensive Coordinator at Northwestern Oklahoma State.

That won't last long if they can't make money where they are. Granted, I don't expect this league to play a game either. I love that he has to clarify that they aren't attached to the other MLF(B). Originally I thought he was trying to take a shot at the UFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says that they will play on Sundays in Non-NFL markets like Portland, Oakland, Sacramento, North Carolina (mentions Durham) , South Carolina (Charleston) and Virginia (Norfolk). He plans on making that show weekly. I wonder what kind of players he's going to get to play for his league and if he'll be antagonistic towards the NFL (which it seems like he might be based on the video). One thing about the UFL is that they will allow players to pursue NFL options and won't stand in their way when players sign with the NFL. If this fall league blocks players from pursuing NFL opportunities, nobody will want to play in his league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did try keeping the NFL off of their players by requiring what amounted to a transfer fee of around $100,000 after the first season.

Just now, GDAWG said: he said in the video that initially the league will own the teams but eventually they will have team owners. Exactly. When he mentions those numbers I got a good chuckle out of that. Because the only people that should be willing to lose that much money should be billionaires. And those guys will just buy an NFL team instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 33 minutes ago, GDAWG said: he said in the video that initially the league will own the teams but eventually they will have team owners. That would suggest that the league has investors underwriting the operation to the tune of tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars. Until they disclose who's paying the bills, then it's just like @Sec19Row53 said: it's fantasy sports. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN did not get back to them, but streaming is the route they will take. Talking to other streaming services. - Talking to Adidas about being an apparel company for the league - Secured dates and availabilities for San Antonio. There's going to be a team in New York, in Long Island and they are playing on Sundays in the fall and he says that the reason is because the Jets and Giants play in New Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
