Haines' company is still the owner of the league. The fact that he hired a president means nothing. Haines is still the one in charge, the president is just a puppet.
The team they beat up on wasn't a league team, it was a replacement team (the semi-pro Palm Beach Phantoms). The Phantoms lost last week in Lakeland 0-100. So in two games they were 18-191 in point's for and against, which has got to be a new record in two games (or close to it). If a non-athlete is going to suit up against a team, this was the team to do it against.
Haines resigns as UIFL president

[quote=""daytonadan""]Better yet:
1) Was he on the official roster submitted to league officials?
2) Did the tarpons have more than the allotted players for the game?
3) Had he taken a physical?
In the universal scheme, who cares ... but there's letter of the law and spirit of the law, and if Mr. Haines wasn't properly paperworked, than there's a case the Tarpons should forfeit.[/quote]
Excellent post Dan. Thank you for not giving us "this has happened before and it will happen again."

A couple of years ago, the AFL's Orlando Predators let a local radio personality named "Drunky The Bear" carry the ball late in a blowout victory.
So I can say "all of this happened before...."

Do I need to type anything else?[/quote]
My own opinion is that if he had of had 1 ceremonial play .. while it would have been immature, he's probably earned the right to take the field with his team for 1 play in a token role..
But playing the entire game on special teams? Or at least on kick-offs? It's no longer a quirky (yet not unheard of) event.. he made himself a football player who contributed in the game..
He has to know better.. but apparently does not..
If he knows the Tarpons will not be returning and he's exiting pro sports management altogether, then I could at least understand his motivation.. but if he was just doing it for the hell of it then I admit I'm completely perplexed.

Then it was worth it
, otherwise it was purely an ego play and
lowers the professionalism of some who have practised all
season and may not have seen action. Yet the clownplays only
because its his ball.
Ridiculous!

I hate to waste time by replying and simply saying "I agree"..
But I totally agree with your take about the Tarpon player or players who were at every practice, every game, gave it their all for the season and had some potential field time taken away by the owner.
