Uniforms are nasty...but it's better than the neon-lime green of the Orlando team in the old WLAF.

I'm thinking the first year is the year of the cheap and hopefully the next year...if there is a next year...uniforms will be better.

I think when they were first announcing they said something like that. That these were for the "premiere season" which is why all colors are tied with the league logo. But, if you go and change it after...how do expect to sell any merchandise now?

Dude, my new winless team is gonna to kill your new winless team on Saturday. The Sentinels will be cutting down some trees!


Watching it now, dam there are a lot of good players that didn't pan out in the NFL playing. So far it's decent football. at least you can tell which team is which. Too bad I gotta take off.

I watched that game. Florida looked good. Vegas, not so much. It looked like there are some pretty decent players in that league. Shows how deep the NFL really is I guess.

Color me surprised, even the tackling was pretty dam good, there was a LB for one of the squads that was all over the field. think they said he got rookie of the year for Cincy? Haven't looked him up yet.

One thing that did look noobish was some of the O line on run plays. lot of line men running around missing blocks.

Other then that, it's quality.

Those lines looked better than the OLs currently on the Skins and Raiders. Then again a first grade class of special needs kids playing red rover look better than those team's lines.

Don't be miss lead, the Raiders O line are trying to get him sacked! Fastest way to rid yourself of a shitty QB is by getting him killed!





Elvis Dumervil: YO! WAKE UP! I AIN’T WAVIN’ AT YOU, YOU FAT BITCH! I’M TRYING TO HELP YOU UP!

JaMarcus Russell: Nah, that’s all right. I’m cool. Say, when you walking back over to your huddle, can you tell the center to just drop the ball on my chest? I’ll throw it from down here.

Looks like the Tuskers have the season wrapped up, the way they are smoking everybody else...unless someone finally figures out how to stop their offence.

So California is on the road in New York tonight.

Will 50 people show up in the stadium with game 2 of the Yankee series going on?

Time to bust out the Ortega 2 for 1 promotions! I'll have to switch over and support my Sentinels, beats watching the fucking yankees.

Tha stadium is beyond empty tonight. So far NY has had the worst looking attendance.

I still say if the UFL were smart they would move this to the spring. There is no way they are going to survive in the fall like this. I could see them getting 20,000-30,000 for games in the spring. I think the talent has been damn good.

I don't think spring makes a difference. Ask NFL Europe, the XFL, or the arena league.

You can't predict the Yankees making the series, but the World Series dates were practically set in the spring because of the way the network TV schedules have been done. They were stupid to have planned a game tonight.

Here I thought the Tuskers were going to finally lose a game. It would be cool to see them play the Bucs, but could you imagine if a NFL team would lose to a UFL team? It would give instant credibility to the UFL/smaller leagues.

It would be fun if they made a bet and had the Bucs have to wear their old orange uniforms with the gay winking pirate helmet for a season if they lost.

Final game of the season, boy the stadium is still empty. They were offering a BOGO deal on tickets and still can't get a crowd. The commish on at halftime saying how this season was a success and adding 2 new teams for 2010 and how there is a market for this thing in the fall. I just don't see there being a next season this way, they had to lose their ass this season. Oh well, was interesting to watch....still stupid playing in fall and on weeknights.

Now that the UFL season is officially over and the players are now free agents, it will be interesting to see how many land with NFL teams who need depth going down the home stretch...

Don't think my New York Sentinels won a fucking game! Figures a Raider fan would pick another shit team to follow.

Chiming in a bit late here but I loved the league and watched probably 75% of the games. Starting off with only four teams was very smart as they got to get a lot of good players that would at least be on a NFL practice squad but are ineligible due to too much time in the league. I think they said that there will be a 6 team UFL next season. Considering how solid every team was, I see little drop off in talent next year.

Yeah I know New York was winless, but they only had one real blowout and another that got out of hand. They were in all but one game in the second half all season. I'd like to see Ted Catrall get another shot next year as his teams didn't look out coached, just over matched here and there on talent.

Completely and totally agree. The UFL had a lot of quality depth on some teams and these are the players that are on the outside looking in with the NFL

Odell Thurman. Kicked out of the NFL and whatever team signs him needs to let him sit for a season because that's what he has waiting for him when he gets re-instated. Nothing official was announced but Bengals boards have all heard about meth rumors in the Odell camp. Sad story because he's one hell of a player, it's just he's also an addict.

Bottom line: This is a solid league with quality coaches and should be on your radar next season. Tell your friends and if there is a game in your area, you shouldn't have any problem securing tickets.

I'd imagine the only event easier getting tickets for would be a poison concert.

They were doing 2 for 1 tickets, so I agree probably not hard to score tickets, and I really thought the league was good.

I still will be suprised if they come back next year. They keep saying they will, but man they lost their asses this season.

I still believe they would have been smarter having this thing in the spring. Probably would double the fans at games.

IMO they have 2 goals they are trying to reach with this thing, they want teams to be obsorbed into the NFL (thus not wanting teams in current NFL markets) or being a NFL Europe training ground for the NFL and having the NFL pay for the league.
