5 replies
PhinGeneralsubscriberOPNew Spring League based on the A11 offensive concept, to be broadcast nationally by ESPN2:
A11FL franchise cities include the San Francisco Bay Area Sea Lions, the Los Angeles Express, the New Jersey Generals, the Dallas Wranglers, Chicago Staggs and the Tampa Bay Bandits. Two additional cities will be announced soon.
“This is an exciting moment in the League’s history,” said A11FL Commissioner Scott McKibben, surrounded by other League executives at a press conference at the Fairmont Hotel. “The teams, the broadcast contract and our showcase games this year are going to generate tremendous excitement about this League and the great seasons to come.”
McKibben said the new football league will play two showcase games this year, one at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Fla. on May 17 and the other at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on June 5. Both games will be aired nationally on ESPN.

Who are the players on those teams?
I've had this idea for a little bit that I think would be a great plan for the NFL.
You make it a spring league made up of the current draft prospects and they play a little round robin style tournament. You can start the games after the Super Bowl and run them up till April. Let's say it's 8 teams of 50 players. What a way to scout the players for the coaches, personnel guys and the fans. And we would definitely tune in to those games.
Great idea for fringe players and young guys who washed out. Dunno how many of the upper tier prospects would want to risk it.

I believe that is the concept they are basing it on.
djphinfansubscriberIt only works if it's a minor league system for your favorite NFL team and sanctioned by the NFL.
