"He started it," is your defense? Come on. Unless you have stopped breathing, it is quite clear you don't literally need a spare life. Everyone knows that. You, on the other hand, tried to cast doubts about Dan's ability to get a job, or at least the Augusta job. Your information is bad, but not everyone knows that. That's the dirty part that borders on character assassination.

I merely stated that it deserved a response, not "he started it." Why make a comment such as that? Sounds quite childish. Spare life vs. spare team, whats the difference? Unless you know the story, why would anyone think he didnt have the ability to get a job? He obviously has the ability, he has been in the business for awhile. Arent you twisting this a bit?

Difference is exactly as I spelled out above. One is an innocuous comment, while the other is potentially actionable. You know what you meant to infer by the comment, and you were wrong. Far be it from you to admit to it.

Preeths, not that you are right, but I apologize for bringing up a topic that brings out so much emotion in you. I should have addressed this to you privately and have done so.

For those of you that are sensitive, I am not bashing on the UIF. I report what I hear from those within. I have a whole lot to report soon about the AIFA, so stay tuned...........
Ferocious four ... now that's funny.

I spoke about this privately so I wont speak on it again publicly. Preeths is cool as a cucumber as you say, I have respect for his work. So you like the ferocious four, huh?

Default Rumors

Lets remember that NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB all employ the use of rumors. Rumors are a way to spin PR and keep people interested. Indoor football is no different. If we all only got our information from published sources, we wouldnt know much about life. There is plenty of information behind the scenes that wont be published. You dont have to like the information, but respect it and see if it comes to pass. Only then can you discredit the source.

The one thing that the UIF has going for it that other leagues don't is the fact that there problems don't leave the office and never get down to the players..
You never hear of players not getting paid, teams always show up, teams don't fold in the middle of the year and so on... The problem that is with the UIF is multi pronged. Part of it is economics and travel its expensive to travel when gas/diesel is over $3 gallon, and insurance is as expensive as you know what. But the UIF plays all of its games in venues that are meant for that sport and that are set up for that sport something that other leagues can't do. i know that the UIF hasn't had enough expansion but the NIFL killed a lot of markets for the short term.

You may be right, but I hate that kind of rumor-mongering and generally call people on it if I catch them. That's why you'll notice my tone be a little on the harsh side sometimes. I'm not saying that you or anyone else is doing it here, but part of what I try to do is to go beyond the spin and find out what is really happening and why. It is probably a good thing for any business that not every thought or plan is made public!

There is a big difference between rumor-mongering and rumors (truths that wont be in the media). I am not a PR guy so I dont spin stories, but I do report things others might not be privied to.
