Damn, we made it to a second thread in the offseason? You niggas got problems. Me too.
>>153599851we are a very autistic bunch aren't we
where is this nigga?
Tokyo fart machines

>>153600901BIG if true
new thread, less niggas
>LFA to receive $10 million from Global Sports Capital Partners in investmentWhat
>>153604131IDK why there are still so many investors in alt football year after year. Guess I can't complain
>>153609915there should be more
Good luck surviving the day of the rake, bros.
>>153617275ufl survives
>5219yards>44tdskeep an eye out for gambler qb jim kelly
>>153609915NFL does a great job of continuing to grow the game on balance sheets. Surprised there aren’t more major investors
>>153617275I thought the last thread was going to die at the mid 200s imagine my shock to see this one
>>153618375For me? It’s gotta be USFL LA Express Quarterback Steve Young
>>153618858la express steve young was n usfl hofer. glad the kid got a chance
>TQBoise or Salt Lake would be cool
olympics are over so i'm all in on my OHIO STATE AVIATORS
>>153620044Idaho doesn't have a stadium, they could use Rio Tinto in SLC though.
>>153620044>>153620952too much travel. itll have to be in a place like west virginia
>>153620952There was a verbal agreement to use Boise state’s stadium but for one reason or another it fell through.
i can feel it in my bones that birbs will win it.
>>153621394It fell through because new ownership didn't want to put teams in college handegg stadiums. Repole, correctly, figured out that using the smaller soccer fields makes the audience look much bigger and the games have more energy. It's not like the Defenders are pulling THAT many people very week, but because it's a more compact stadium and they do decent numbers their games always feel more alive.
does tel aviv have a team?
>>153621694I hope STL has better attendance than last year, the red seats look rough against the mostly blue and white fans
>>153622340I think the UFL has some oil money investor
>>153622877>oil money investorthe league will keep growing once these reel in those nil youngsters
>>153622638I wouldn't hold my breath. I don't think they're opening the 400s this year at least. That was cool when they did it once or twice but there just isn't that much demand.
>>153623439The 300 level cucks TV appearance really hard that section is always full but barely visible
>>153599062My cocks :)
tendie bros....
>>153629578IIRC >we had problems with this last year too
>>153599015This is going to be the first time I go to a sporting event in so long I can't remember the last time I went. For people who go to games often (not even UFL in specific, but football, baseball, etc) do you typically go by yourself or do you bring someone with you?
>>153634346I use it as an excuse to hang out with a friend I bring along, but battlecocks wise at least nobody gives a shit, just celebrate and everyone will welcome you in. I assume it's the same everywhere else.
you are now aware if the Italian Football League
>>153634420Nice. I'm thinking of going by myself for the first game and feeling out the atmosphere, but then after that maybe taking someone with me if I think it'd work. Thanks man.
>>153634346drop slurs early to set the tone for the early morning into afternoon. youre in charge.
>>153634488We're a Frogs thread.
>>153600073we definately have some of the most dedicated anons
>>153635362the trve cheese heads
hes coming
>>153629578Drafting for talent AND people who will show up to camp has got to be frustrating
>>153637523move every team to florida for taxes and make them travel on the weekend. no first class tickets thatll come in phase II when revenue is up. >TE Florian Bierbaumer - Louisville Kings>DB Maceo Beard - DC Defenders
>>153637868Texas, where they're based out of, has the same personal income tax as Florida.
>>153638021how are these players not sold on this. fuck nil id choose ufl after a degree
>>153638021can they find money any other way to get 95% commitment from all teams draftees?
>>153638058NIL players are fumbling their chances at building brands. They are proverbially asleep at the wheel believing that they have fans and not just fans of the their college team supporting them.
They are still gonna play the LFA season right?
>>153629578I see. So the Louisville Kings will get destroyed this season and will no longer exist next season if one exists.>DC DEFENDERSThey've built a brand and are at least known for the beer snake and lemons. They have a dedicated fan base and people will come out just for that. Louisville Kings doesn't have that luxury. Not saying they need to act like this is NFL, but if they don't even show up for the UFL practices likely because they, themselves, don't see the UFL as anything worth taking seriously, this team is going to fail before it's out of the gate. The Storm is going to be the one to watch so far, but MY RENEGADES are going on a run this year!
>>153638058>fuck nil id choose ufl after a degreeWhat's better, playing at USC and getting a 13% tax on the $2 million you're getting, or playing for the Birmingham Stallions and getting a 0% tax on 60k?
>reduce supply instead of increasing demandSugoi Repole-sama
>>153640503>What's better, playing at USC and getting a 13% tax on the $2 million you're getting, or playing for the Birmingham Stallions and getting a 0% tax on 60k?Thats easy, playing for the Birmingham Stallions and getting a 0% tax on 60k.
>>153641466back to the arenas.
>>153641516cringe kino
>>153641466I get where he's coming from honestly. That Dome is going to have to come down sooner than later, city can't keep repairing it.
>>153634606They don't seem to mass import black american players like the GFL does.
>In the GFL/AFVD, players from outside Europe are considered A-imports. Those who do not come from the USA, Canada, Mexico, or Japan, i.e., countries where football is offered at college level, can be considered Europeans upon request if they have not played in one of these countries themselves while in education. This allows citizens of other countries who, for example, grew up in Germany and are new to football to be considered nationals, even in the GFL. Exceptions may also be made after many years of residence in Germany.>This means that the GFL allows more A-imports than the AFLE or EFA. However, this generosity ends on game day at the latest. The decisive rule: a maximum of two A players on the field at the same time. This means that a team can sign six international players, but must rotate them strategically. Permanent “import offenses” are thus ruled out. This rule protects the development of European players and ensures sporting balance.>A key difference to other leagues: all Europeans are considered homegrown. A player with a US passport and a European passport (known as a dual passport) does not count as an A import. Even with a Spanish, French, or Polish passport, you remain homegrown in the GFL. As soon as a player has European citizenship, they are no longer subject to the A rule.>GFL at a glance>- 6 A imports on the roster>- Rest homegrown
>>153644147>EFLA>A-Players – The US Training ModelA player is considered an A-player if:- their first organized tackle football experience took place in the US- they have played at least two consecutive seasons in the US system>I-Players – A category of their ownThe AFLE also distinguishes a separate I-category for players from:- Canada- Mexico- Japan>E-Players – International DiversityE-Players are all players whose first organized football experience took place outside of:- The United States- Canada- Mexico- Japan- Their respective homegrown region>AFLE in brief- 4 A spots (maximum of 2 on the field at the same time)- 1 I spot- 9 E spots>A clearly regulated and differentiated system where the focus is not on nationality but on the place of training.>EFA>A-PlayersPlayers from the following countries are classified as A players:- USA- Canada- Mexico- Japan>E-playersThere is also a difference when it comes to so-called E-spots. The EFA only allows six E-players per team. The definition of an E-spot is the same as in the AFLE – only the quota is smaller.>EFA at a glance- 4 A-spots (maximum of 2 on the field at the same time)- 6 E-spots- No I-spots>The EFA is also strictly regulated with regard to import spots, but less complex than the AFLE.

WOAH NOW these boys from the capital are actin' mighty peculiar...
>>153647388Vipies :(
>>153647396i miss the their weekly slapstick.

>oh what a lovely streak you ha-
>>153647396I miss having a “bad guy” uniform in the league
>Hawkies sign a potentially high profile WRYAY!>Former Gayhawk who beats his girlfriendBoo!
>They're actually going through with the gimmick rulesI hate this fucking league.
>>153599015There's still no teams from the best coast on the UFL. Noone out here is going to watch or even cares
>Redditors are all jumping for joy that the 1 point PAT is backI fucking hate these faggots so much.
What the helly
One foot inbound catch rules now in effect. Tush push banned
>>153651047>>1536510381 foot in bounds catchTush push banned1 and 2 point XP like NFL, 3 point remains the same(it will never be used)60+ yard FG is worth 4 pointsNot punting past the 50 yard lineChanges in kickoffs/landing zone/whateverBrought back the coin toss
>>153651089>Not punting past the 50 yard lineI hate this
>>153651104Oh even worse, say you get to the 49 and get sacked? You still can't punt. It's stupid as fuck.
>>153651104>>153651109We are about to see intentional penalties and gamesmanship the likes of which we have never seen
>>153651149Basic ally only for FG's though. If you ever cross the 50 you can't punt. Takes a giant legitimate layer of strategy and skill out of the game. There's no reason to even have a punter on your team damn near.
>>153650876I like the Raiders since I played the Madden NFL 2004 PC demo. The demo has a match between the Raiders and the Buccaneers.
>>153651089This is becoming too gimmicky now desu
>>153651089this rustles my jimmies
>>153599015FLEET WOULD SLAP THE EVERLOVING FUCK OUT OF ALL OF THESE SHIT TEAMS BTW
>>153647396I miss Cashman Field
>>153655051TRVTH NVKE
>>153651149thats gonna be funny but whats gonna be even funnier is when a coach accepts the intentional false start penalty and then wastes a super challenge trying to argue the offense intentionally committed a penalty so they can punt lol
>>153651038good. picks the pace up
>>153651089none of this would be an issue in an arena
>>153656112I was about to say, a lot these rules give me gimmicky Arena League vibesNot terrible for entertainment value, but definitely loses the league credibility and upsets the fuddy duddy crowd
>>153656040Again though, you can't punt if you've ever gone past the 50 on that drive. A false start penalty would not let you punt, it would make your 4th down attempt even harder. The biggest "What the fuck" is the change on XPs. You already had too many coaches being cowards and taking the 1 point attempt, now they're almost literally never going to try for 2 or 3. There's no reason to.
>>153656326wait, they're allowing teams to kick XPs now?! why!?
>>153656207>narrow the sidelines>running clock>allow two men in motion time to get gimmicky. they offer standing room tickets for under $20 id go stand
EFA shit
>>153656545>Chase Garbers' younger brother is now QB of the Madrid Bravoswhat happened to Sinnett?
late new niggas
>>153656649>chuckle at III & II >see lidetrick lmao
>the Louisville KingsThe showboats crawled so greatness could run
>>153656779some would argue they didn't even do that
>>153656641torn bussy
>>153656869i was sad to see them go but i definitely wont miss the constant foghorns during the games
>>153656410Mostly because coaches bitched a lot because they couldn't convert a fucking 2 yard play.
>pant turds are deadget fucked
>>153657889Sad he's a gayde now. Always liked Beech.
who will take their place?
>>153658771Kevin Sumlin will pick up where CJ Johnson left off
