Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.
Perhaps what's required is an internship. And that's what the United National Football League (UNFL) hopes to provide — a gateway to the top echelon of the sport as a feeder league.
The UNFL hopes to begin a 10-week season in 2009 with eight teams, each carrying 60 players. It would be almost like a junior college, with the players limited to two UNFL seasons before they "transfer." Salaries: $1,000 a week.
Sounds interesting. I've wondered with all the players not in the NFL why the NFL hasn't worked to do something similar. There is the CFL that seems to operate in a relatively similar. But the idea of only two years seems weird. And the pay is the same for every play across the board.
More football is never a bad thing! At least it isn't some gimmick like arena or XFL.
