http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/st ... _UFL_guide heres what you might have missed. now, what does everything think of this new league? in their inaugural season, the team saw 4 teams play. this past season, 5. next year, 6. so the league is growing slowly, but surely. with an NFL work stoppage next year, does anyone else think this league can become quite popular? |

If the NFL locks out, it will explode. The NFL will probably then scramble to make the UFL like the AHL, or just straight buy the bastards out. |

I think using the UFL as a development league would be good for everyone. Practice squad guys would get top string minutes in the UFL and could get called up to play in the NFL. It would require roster rules retooling, but I think it would be for the better. NOW, that's just my opinion. ALSO, Drew Willy was one of the Locos' QBs. |

That is a great idea to use the UFL as a minor league for the NFL. and Mike, I highly doubt the NFL will have a work stoppage next year. |

Yea, I've already lodged 2011 under "Did Not Play" in my mind for the NFL |

I think the NFL could use a better developmental league, especially for their quarterbacks. |

Honestly, is the NFL the only league out of the top four without a dev. league? They sure could use one. |

It seems like in the old days most teams at least had a passable backup. How many guys nowadays can come in and win games like Frank Reich did for Kelly or Scott Mitchell did for Dan Marino? |
