Sounds to me like he's demanding to get paid.

Can't wait to hear 4th&longs positive spin on this.

This carnival ride sounds like it's getting ready to be shut down.

FWIW, Jenkins' son, Raefe is also on the HV staff, but has not sent out a Tweet since Oct. 10.

Why is anybody shocked. Didn't the league fold early and pay its players last year.

I would not buy any green bananas if I were an FXFL player. And I would not count on getting paid tomorrow.

According to Owens, Robert Gordon has been hired as the new coach of the Hudson Valley Fort. No social media posts from the team in a couple days.
