Could Vick Start in the UFL?
This is wild. Wild wild wild.

http://atl.scout.com/2/845735.html

The fledgling United Football League, set to play in four cities beginning in October, will officially announce its four head coaches at a press conference in San Francisco on Wednesday.
In addition to former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel, who will lead the Las Vegas team, the UFL has hired Dennis Green as San Francisco's coach, Jim Haslett for Orlando and Ted Cottrell for New York. All except Cottrell have been head coaches in the NFL.

It is also believed the league is efforting to have former NFL quarterback Michael Vick play in its inaugural season. Vick, currently serving time for federal dogfighing charges, will be dealing with financial issues and time in a halfway house before he's available to play for any football team. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff has said that he will seek a trade for Vick, but it's possible that a release will be the only way.

Each UFL team will play six games, with the championship game expected to be played in Las Vegas during Thanksgiving weekend. The UFL has announced a deal for a Thursday night game of the week to be televised on VERSUS, which is also home for National Hockey League games.

Each team will have three "home" games, but all won't be played in the "named" city. New York will play a game in Hartford, Las Vegas will play a game in Los Angeles and San Francisco will play a game in Sacramento.

Fassel was last a head coach with the New York Giants in 2003, Green with Arizona in 2006 and Haslett was the interim coach for St. Louis last season. Cottrell is a longtime NFL assistant who was fired by the San Diego Chargers during the 2008 season as defensive coordinator. He was a coach with the USFL's New Jersey Generals in 1983-84.

Said UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue, "With the confirmation of four teams and the announcement of an infusion of a $30 million investment to operate the league, the UFL is excited to bring affordable, accessible football to underserved markets this October. (This) will allow us to set the foundation within the cities we feel would be a good fit, demonstrate the terrific talent of the coaches and players at our high level of competition, and integrate innovation into all aspects of the league so we are ready for expansion in 2010."

Head coaches will reportedly be paid $500,000 for the season.

You are correct Sir. The way for it to work would be to make a "Development league" and work with the NFL. There are many diamonds in the rough that never get a chance in the NFL and this would give them an opportunity to get noticed on the professional level. One thing that I see happening though, the new league will try to land top players by allowing them to play straight out of high school and not having to go to college.

I think they are predicting what I am predicting. Labor troubles. I think the nfl is getting ready to blow up internally.

If it hasn't folded yet, I don't see it being anything short of a SMASHING SUCCESS.

That list really emphasizes how weird it is that L.A. doesn't have a team.

For my money, nothing beats the UIF for Spring Football fix. The Omaha Beef are ready to kick some ass this year. Season starts up for us on March 20th against the Wichita Wild.

Seriously, the league just expanded to 19 teams, 4 divisions and 2 conferences. I suspect the UIF will be around MUCH longer than the UFL...which sounds like a joke. Granted, it's a different type of football, but it's DAMN GOOD football.

I might be a bit biased, since I'm the gameday PA announcer for the Beef, but seriously, its good stuff. Check out the league and see if there is a team in your area:
