This UFL Logo Is Easy To Swallow, But Hard To Take In [United Football League]
Deadspin — ... And what in the shaft-filled gash is the United Football League, you ask? It seems to be positioning itself as CBA-type farm system for the NFL, and is set to officially start its season in the fall of 2009 even though it's still deciding on locations for its 8 teams. ...

The Economy Strikes Again (Sabathia not Worried)

The UFL: Alternative Football Is Back (Again)
The Mets Police — It's time once again for an alternative professional football league, this time the UFL. I always fall in love with these - I can't get enough football (fellow Mets Policeman Cyclones Fan won our Fantasy XFL league). I still think the USFL would have made it if they had stayed in the spring and hung in there just a little bit longer until ESPN took off.  (It was 1987 before cable TV came to the outer boroughs of New York City). I liked the XFL.  I understood what it was.   NBC made a fatal mistake that first night.  I forget the ...

The UFL? More Like the LOL.
The Curly R: A Washington RedskinZ Blog — ... In just the past couple of days I have discovered the United Football League, or UFL, a four team fall professional football league that begins play in October with teams in Las Vegas/Los Angeles, Hartford/New York City, Orlando and San Francisco/Sacramento.

Stupid Sports: Still nothing worth watching
Boiled Sports — ... coverage...which it's actually receiving. Lingerie Football League It's all fun and games until one of these toned young ladies blows out her knee...seriously; statistically, it might not happen once, but three or four times, in one game. Yikes. And while no heterosexual man would object in seeing athletic young women in these uniforms, the physical effort puts some of these "athletes" in positions that aren't too attractive.

Cut or Protect: NFL Roster Rules
Arizona Cardinals Community Blog - Fanster.com - Voice of the Cardinals — ... In light of these rules you can now understand what may happen with Spach if he starts the season on the PUP list (six weeks off the 53-man roster and has to be designated as PUP before the first cuts).  Throw in Patrick's "League Suspension" list status, it's no wonder the Cardinals have a grab bag of TE on the 80-man roster.  Vallejo and Keith are not eligible for protection under the PS so they have to make the final 53 or they're playing elsewhere (and perhaps a different league ...

Canal Street Chronicles — ... The inaugural season of the United Football League is quietly coming together. So quietly, in fact, that I didn't even know they had just recently held their first draft this past week until another SB Nation writer alerted me to it. If you're not familiar with the UFL, you can learn all the necessary basics by reading my original post from February.

Destined To Fail
Boiled Sports — ... football minds involved, they'd be able to do better than this: Feast your eyes on the unis of the UFL. Clearly, the league brass has spent too much on talent to invest any money in design or equipment circa post-1990. I'd love to see this league succeed, but honestly, if their braintrust believes that is the look of a football player, they probably have some other whacked-out ideas of what makes America's new past-time great. Heck, the league site boasts that it is where "Future Stars Come to Play." I think it's a good idea to market ...
