[MidwestChomp]

Laughed when I saw this one. Check out Lorenzen's tag at the bottom.

Oh i would watch He Ate Me

 

[T REX]

He's financing everything....he's got the money. Why would you think this?

Because it's going to be a massive failure. I'd love to the see market analysis that supports any financials involved. He might as well start a bonfire with the money.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

I think most of us would take hanging out with a Confederate-flag waving redneck than a pretentious millennial like yourself any day. No offense.

Hey, you like to keep it in the family. I get it. No judgment from me.

 

[KronoGator]

Now this is a league that will be totally fixed.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Now this is a league that will be totally fixed.

One guy owns all the teams and the entire league, and has been running an organization based on fixed results for decades. So yeah, it'll be totally legit. Believe me.

 

[oxrageous]

I get it. No judgment from me.

If only that were true. You’re the most judgemental person I’ve ever encountered.

Do you ever post sober?

If you think about it...the league would needs vegas betting and fantasy to help be successful.

Yeah, just not seeing this taking off without a ton of help.

More fixed than a Patriots playoff game?

I'm sober now. You think this league will make it? The NFL is suffering from oversaturation right now.

He might as well open a fleet of pay phone booths across the country.

[Swamp Donkey]

He should be our coach.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

The fact that Sas opposes this makes me think they are really on to something this time.

Id go just to pizz him off.

I may buy season tix. I hope Trump shows up.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

If only that were true. You’re the most judgemental person I’ve ever encountered.

Says the guy who routinely lumps together millions upon millions of people based on nothing but what year they were born.

You talking about lumping together millions of people is hilarious.

I have no idea whether it could make it or not. History says no, yet we seem to be at a bit of a crossroads when it comes to pro football, as NFL viewership is declining because they don't care about the viewer and arrogantly think they can't lose. They could be in for a world of hurt. I think "oversaturation" is well down the list of reasons why people are turning off the NFL.

Of course it's a huge risk, but I admire the hell out of his entrepreneurial spirit. He's using only his own money (unheard of in these kinds of situations) and he's rich enough (net worth 1.6 billion) that it could be a complete flop and he'd still be rich.

Hope they have a better version of the Bubba cam this go around. Maybe built in helmet cams? That technology has come a long way in 20 years. That would be really cool.

Helmet cams got dropped because the DC were using them into get information on what the quarterback was seeing (if I remember correctly). Remember that helmet came Kerwin Bell wore in the World league.

I think the avenging bigfoot got her handle wrong. I'd like to suggest the following...
