I don't buy that there is much of a market. People always say that in theory but, for example, no one really cares about the arena league.As someone that thinks the NFL is in steep decline—for a number of reasons—I think there’s a market out there for a professional league alternative, more than ever before.
I would love to see them bring the NFL down a few notches, or maybe completely.As someone that thinks the NFL is in steep decline—for a number of reasons—I think there’s a market out there for a professional league alternative, more than ever before.
Won’t happen, and that’s the wrong strategy as well. The USFL died when they were coming up with crazy deals with the likes of Herschel Walker and Jim Kelly. The success of the USFL was due to semi pro regional aspect of it, and not the pro aspect of it. If this new league is going to succeed then they should stay away from being a “direct competitor” and stick to being a spring developmental league because the NFL will crush them.I would love to see them bring the NFL down a few notches, or maybe completely.
Oh I AGREE!!!!Nothing happens on a kickoff ???
Kenyon Drake says hello... also, no onside kicks ?
Both of the above sealed the deal for us against Clemson in 2016.
So it's basically football for wimps ?
Along those lines....I think what’s funny is that many look at headlines saying “the nfl viewership is falling” and think that means college is catching up. But they really don’t actually look at the ratings and compare or factor that cable service is in general down. I mean is you look and compare the semi finals and the conference championship games this past year the NFL wins by a pretty considerable margin. Let alone the SB vs NCG. Yeah I know someone would probably argue, “ well what about the regular season in college vs nfl” I’m still fairly confident that the NFL still wins in prime time, marquee , and garbage matchups game for game vs college.
The point is the NFL isn’t going anywhere. And no league can replace it if individual college games can’t come close in matching them.
Exactly. College is not close to the NFL in viewership/ratings. People who doubt the quality of competition don't watch it or watch it close enough. It is the best players in the world playing my favorite game so I watch it. And you are right it is not going anywhere and no one will come close to knocking them off. So much money.........I think what’s funny is that many look at headlines saying “the nfl viewership is falling” and think that means college is catching up.

There are a lot of reasons to not like the NFL, but this stuff doesn't make my list. There is far more parity in the NFL than in college football. The games are much closer, and aside from a few really bad teams, any team can beat any other team on a given weekend.I like many of you abandoned the NFL because of the pathetic quality of competition which has sunk to abysmal levels and because these over paid players think no rules apply to them and they are on some higher plain of existence. They are football players, they are not curing cancer or bring about world peace.
There are good teams in the NFL but only a few and the rest are complete garbage and so most games are simply not competitive or end up in a punting contest.
hopefully...hopefully.......the new stadium downtown in the planning stages and scheduled to be up and ready by late 2020-early 2021 will take care of the issue you mentioned.The Birmingham team has already failed. They don't understand that people don't want to go to Legion Field in the middle of that neighborhood. They might if the stadium had more parking and was more secure but having to park on the street and pay a kid $20 not to do something to your car is not what people want. You can also mention that the stadium is run down and not fan friendly.
He must not want to get re-elected.The mayor of Birmingham wants the team to sign Kaepernick.
I just don’t see that ending well.

They should do it. Then it will be really funny when he gets benched for the backup because he just isn't good enough.The mayor of Birmingham wants the team to sign Kaepernick.

I wouldn’t sign him because it would be a PR nightmare. But whoever the QB is won’t be much better. If he is any good, he’ll be in the NFL.They should do it. Then it will be really funny when he gets benched for the backup because he just isn't good enough.
