    UFL suspends 2012 season

    That $2.3 million lawsuit probably means they're done for good.

    To be honest I don't even now what the UFL is. So unless the CFL can benefit I don't care.

    It's how I roll. Why not comment and show that you're actually reading and paying attention to others posts?

    It's pretty much neutral in regards to the CFL, so I think it's a bad thing that there are now fewer pro football jobs.

    I will disagree with you to some degree, argolio, as it does seem as though some players were opting to go to the UFL instead of the CFL. Now if they want to continue their pro career outside of the NFL, the CFL is the most viable option.

    The good news: Omaha Nighthawks head coach Bart Andrus is now available!

    There are UFL players that are on CFL neg lists. There is talent in that league.

    No not a Bart Andrus comment. hahaha. Well maybe Barker will find some crumbs. If I were the Argos I'd have someone to tail Wally to see who's he's scouting.

    Hopefully Brian Banks will be Argo bound. I thought he had CFL all over him after his NFL tryouts. Teams are always after that guy to give a second chance to.

    I just recall reading some articles where CFL teams were saying that they were interested in players who had chosen to go to the UFL first instead of the CFL. Of course, some of those players made their way eventually to the CFL anyway.

    A few players may have (quite reasonably) preferred to play closer to home rather than attend a CFL camp, but I still maintain the CFL was unaffected. We didn't lose any key players, and the U.S. produces more prospects than one extra league can absorb

    It occurs to me that there doesn't seem to be much logic in starting a new league in this day and age. The NFL is so massive financially that it's now almost impossible for another AFL or USFL to try to compete directly with the NFL. And the NFL's massive popularity makes it difficult for a smaller league to find enough of an audience to succeed.

    Agreed on both points. That's why it will be good when Ottawa comes back, 53 more football jobs. Heck, if they're run like Edmonton, 80 more football jobs.
