Yeah, fuck them spare league bitches.

Yeah, fuck them spare league bitches.

If it weren’t for those spare leagues we would not have Turpin or Aubrey. Yeah.

 

[NoDak]

If it weren’t for those spare leagues we would not have Turpin or Aubrey. Yeah.

Or guys like Kurt Warner might have never got their shot in the NFL. If you don't like 'em, that's fine. Don't watch. But they serve their purpose.

Turpin was an NFL miss. Aubrey is truly a minor league find, gem.

I didn’t and won’t waste a single minute watching . Aubrey is an exception to the rule.

 

[bbgun]

It's an inferior brand of football, and by February, I'm sick of football anyway. There aren't enough good QBs to go around in the NFL, let alone the "minors." If they lure away a Caleb Williams like the old USFL did, I'll change my mind.

You been hatin on Turpin and Aubrey throughout.

I don't watch at all, but yeah they definitely should exist.

Same here. I watched a little bit of NFL Europe, but don't think I've ever watched a second of arena league, XFL, the new USFL, or any other league. But I'm always interested in hearing if a player from their leagues are getting a shot in the NFL.

A legitimate farm affiliation between the NFL and this league would work. But I think the NFL is so immensely lazy and greedy it would never happen.

I agree an NFL minor league would work. They had the right idea with NFL Europe, but majorly fucked up with the 'Europe' part.

Remember it was the WLAF (We Laff) before that.

They got too aggressive too fast.

There ain't no damn way say the Scots were ready to handle this sport, for example. Same thing for placing a team in Amsterdam and ove stuffing too many teams in Germany.

Then fund and feed this new league. Mandate two franchises in Europe (London/Frankfurt) and go from there.

Then you have teams assign developmental players.

That was one thing about NFL Europe, watching our damn assigned schlubs like Drew Henson and hoping they developed.
