Our business model places an emphasis on local marketing, cost containment and the utilization of smaller venues to better engage the fan base.  What makes it different? quote:As its name implies, the league plans on adopting several experimental rule changes differing from those at other levels of the game. Football like it was meant to be played, in a field turf minor league baseball park!  Check out those enthuiastic crowds!

The Brooklyn/Boston game on is mildly entertaining. I'm a fan of low rent football. Though instead of having a team in Omaha and Miami why not put one in Hartford and Scranton or something similar? Cut down on travel costs at the least.

I actually liked the interviews after every touchdown and the longer extra point. Also I liked the halftime (before the feed cut out) of the Boston coach explaining to the players the difference between NFL and college QB play with some lovely rear end 1980s projector

Big Omaha Mammoths fan here. I was just perusing all of the rosters on Wikipedia and noticed they have a guy from FSU and two Michigan players! They also have 4-time Heisman hopeful Jordan Jefferson at QB which is just icing on the cake. The Blacktips only have one QB on their roster.

Mammoths drool, Bolts rule. lol, Mike Golic, Jr. is an OL on the Bolts. Uncle went to multiple ProBowls, dad had an 8 year NFL career. Son is playing in the XFXL. Only two former Rutgers players and one former Hofstra player. Shameful. davecrazy fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Mel Mudkiper posted:Why do these dumb fuckers keep scheduling their d-list football at the same time as the NFL The point of this league is to give these players some current tape and to be in football condition just in case they do get called up to a pro team. So if a team has to sign someone due to injury during the season they at least can see if <insert name> can still play and have them already ready to play.

Will this league have a chance of producing a Tommy Maddox rags to slightly silkier rags story? Also are onside kicks verboten in this league? The kickoff setup in the OP made it seem so, which is completely unbecoming of football hijinx.

I could get behind an Experimental Football League that changed the rules all the time to see if things worked. Like my madman's dream of field goals and safeties changing in value based on how many yards were involved or that "instead of kicking an onside kick, you can opt for 4th and 10 from your own 35" thing.

Once a game a coach can challenge the opposing offense to go for a fourth down. If they still punt the coach's team gets two points. Coaches make this call by grabbing their crotch like Lynch.

Shoulda been the whitetips. They're a much more free range shark. It's likely the most frequent man eater, too. Blacktips are largely boring, generic reef sharks.

I just looked at the standings page on their website and it shows the Blacktips 0-1, Omaha 1-0, and Boston 0-2. Is Boston so bad they lost to themselves twice?

And the home/away loss records for everyone but the Blacktips are either blank or wrong. And despite being 1-0 Brooklyn has a .000 win percentage.
