The New Rage – UFL Fantasy

Have you watched any of the UFL? Ya know, the minor league NFL? Wait, does it still not ring a bell? It’s Wednesday Night Football on Versus so do you mean everyone doesn’t wait all week in order to make trades, waiver pick ups, and talk trash to the other guys in the league?

The UFL is happening in a town near you as long as you live in Las Vegas, New York, the Bay Area and Orlando. You should adopt a team and call your local talk radio station and discuss the Las Vegas Locomotives battling the Florida Tuskers game tonight in a battle of the unbeaten.

Anyway I have been looking for a start-em/sit-em blog cuz I am in a dilemma on to who to start.  Should I play at RB Obafemi Ayanbadejo, Shaud Williams or Tatum Bell? YES, the Tatum Bell who in 2005 had over 900 rushing yards and 8 receptions for another 180 along with 8 TDs for the Denver Broncos. Bell was a fantasy stud to say the least.

Anyway, I kid but if it weren’t for the Boise State and Tulsa college football game on at the same time I may have watched more of it. What I have seen is good football with most of the guys having some NFL experience. These guys are playing in a four team league, but still having a blast because they are still playing. All of them are hopeful they can get picked up for the stretch drive by a contender in the NFL.  Heck, when you consider JP Losman or Brooks Bollinger they could get a call by Jump Suit Al Davis any day now.

United Football League Destined for Success

First came the news of Dennis Green, Jim Haslett, Ted Cottrell and Jim Fassel as the head coaches for San Francisco, Orlando, New York and Las Vegas respectively of the newly formed United Football League. Then last week even bigger news was released with the signing of former Buffalo Bills quarterback JP Losman by Las Vegas instantly making him the marquee player of the UFL. I thought the Losman news was going to be the biggest scoop coming out of this league until I heard the latest earth shattering news out of the UFL. The team names have been announced and they are doozies to say the least. The San Francisco Rockfish, Orlando Tuskers, New York Sentinels and the Las Vegas Locomotives are the four founding members of this soon to be thriving professional football league. If the San Francisco Rockfish team name doesn’t put the fear of God in their competitors then I don’t know what will! Stay tuned because we have a funny feeling the next major announcement will the signing of Michael Vick to the Orlando Tuskers.
