At this point, Mudman abruptly ends the conversation. He usually insists on the last word.

Guys, this thread is for discussion of the FXFL. Take your Rex Grossman slashfic to another thread.

This is a month old, but the FXFL considered their season a success and have an eye on expansion.

quote:

The four-team FXFL’s first season is over, and the developmental league’s founder is eager to get started on Year 2.

“I think we had a great first season, given the accelerated timeframe we operated under,” says Brian Woods, commissioner of the league. “We are very pleased at the response from the public. This model has proven itself. We believe we have something that works, with utilization of minor league baseball parks and the sponsorships we’ve created.”

Two of the FXFL’s four franchises, the Brooklyn Bolts and Omaha Mammoths, drew decent-sized crowds to such stadiums. The Boston Brawlers didn’t fare quite so well, and the Blacktips were a road-only team.

Woods also was satisfied with the media reach the league had through regional sports networks and ESPN3. There were 80 million households who get those regional channels, and ESPN3 is available in about 90 million households.

Most of the league’s players were cut by NFL teams before the season, and a handful wound up on NFL rosters or practice squads even as the FXFL was playing its short season. That, after all, was the idea in the first place.

“At the end of the day, we are a developmental league,” Woods says. “If some players needed current game film, they got it. There is real merit to having a developmental league.”

So much so that Woods envisions a bigger league in 2015, with more affiliations with minor league baseball teams and stadia. He’s targeting such cities as Memphis, Austin, Oklahoma City and somewhere in Florida. Woods also expects Brooklyn and Omaha to return.

“I want it to be a manageable expansion, ensure the product on the field will remain solid and something the fans will have an interest in,” he says.

Place your bets
How difficult would it be if the NFL expanded the practice squad rosters to a full 55 guys and had an onsite minor league team to play games?
