Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 If they want it to be a success they will need to put teams in smaller markets away from the NFL teams for the most part. Salt Lake would be a great spot since the only show in town is the Jazz. I don't know if putting it's games head to head with the NFL is the best plan though, the one thing that the XFL going for it was that it wasn't trying to directly compete with the NFL. I hope it's a success, and that if SLC gets a team we don't name it something stupid. Like we usually end up doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 I was harkening back to some start up league in the early 90's with a Utah franchise given the awfully clever name, Pioneers with brown and black uniforms. The Utah Pioneers... tee hee. Anything without two Z's and I'm good. Or Bee related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 Apparently Mark Cuban will be an owner in the league. I already laughed at another league attempting to fight the NFL, but Cuban will make it even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already laughed at another league attempting to fight the NFL, but Cuban will make it even better. I gotta say, this has me excited. If they can manage to not go against the NFL. I'm all for them going against AFL as I've never watched that and could care less about it. Who doesn't want to see marginal NFL players, and people with checkered pasts getting a chance to play again. Long live Tamarick Vanover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 I think those involved with the new group would deny him just on the basis of his past failure and that he wouldn't be taken seriously. Vince already got burned by football and I can't see him willing to play with others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
