So, for those who haven't heard, there's a new pro football league, the Fall Experimental Football League, that begins play tomorrow. Basically, they want to be an official minor-league system to the NFL in regards to players, officials, and rules. This season will have four teams: Omaha Mammoths, Boston Brawlers, Brooklyn Bolts, and the Blacktips (a traveling team).

Anyway, former Bobcat OL Ryan McGrath will be on the Omaha Mammoths. League's official website doesn't have Blacktips roster when I last checked, but could see a couple more Ohio players.

Are they hoping the NFL just adopts them as a minor league? I'm not sure why the NFL would invest when the have a free minor league system already.

The UFL said they were going to do the same thing, then they tried to compete directly with the NFL. It never works.

I once went to an XFL game at Soldier Field.

The only thing I liked was instead of a kickoff, there was a race between opposing players from the 20-yard line to midfield to get the ball for possession.

And the cheerleaders.
