[quote=""Renandpat""]And Woods said that they would be televised. Tick...tick...tick

But yesterday, he had nothing.

Woods is on at the 42:00 mark vomiting over himself with empty promises per usual.[/quote]

Thx for the link

Actually it was one of his better talks - but yes coming up short on tv is no suprise but disappointing to players im sure as it would aid in expose beyond just film in a can

So, to sum up:

[ X ] Less player interest than expected (97 of 160 available slots at the moment)
[ X ] Less TV interest than expected (no TV at the moment)
[ X ] Unable to look at a calendar and determine WHEN EASTER SUNDAY WAS
[ ] Less ticket-buying interest than expected (we'll see)
[ ] Fewer players getting "back to the NFL" than expected

Brian Woods may be the worst sports executive of the 21st century.
Old enough to remember when bashing the ABA was fun.

All chidding aside - Actually we know that is the reason, and with less players more play time

While there are 4 teams they never said 40 a team

Having said all that. Its a test season like fxfl was a test

Will it be televised?? Is the question

These really aren't teams, just dudes playing football for the proverbial "3 hots and a cot".

If one QB goes down on Saturday, one of the remaining three gets more snaps.

Offenses will only work out of three packages and no incentive to win since the four to five coaches are with all players.

More or less correct. Its an academy style 'league' unlike the fxfl - its about playing and improving -

There is an incentive to win indirectly as if you play better your team has a better chance to win.

That is the only question I have right now is how it will be televised?
my curiosity factor is high to see how this comes together . . .

He failed you once again. Can't wait until the still photos of the 117 people in attendance.
Those staying at Greenbrier this weekend better get a comped pass to create any atmosphere.

30% chance of rain both days too!
