How is some unproven football league worth anything but a freely broadcast channel?

No, I won't watch. They didn't make their programming readily available to watch.

Horrible mistake. I would gladly tune in if it was on some channel that didn't require me to buy another freaking TV service to watch.
They also will broadcast some games on the HDNet channel.

Another station watched in approx. 13 homes across the nation.

This endeavor is just being planned horribly. You'd think they could get UPN or something to show games. Or at least some shitty Fox Sports channels.

There are so many reasons why these types of things fail... I think the XFL had the best shot, backed by McMahon and the WWE along with NBC (right, wasn't that the channel)?

There's just no interest... the arena leagues had a nice forumla that worked for a while. I definitely think something like this has a better shot of working if it's regionalized, areas that have no true connection to an NFL team... but they have a strong hunger and dedication to football...

But, then again, you're talking about a league that has a talent pool that excites very few...

There is interest - the thing is this you have to it in cities with no NFL teams, make sure their is a tie in with the NFL sort of a minor league system (aka make sure the teams have a fan base tie in), not depend tv ratings focus on stadium attendance 30 to 40k should be the target, and have in the spring.

Versus is the best cable sports channel after ESPN. Until they got in a pissing match with DirecTV, it was the perfect channel for it.

No. Not a chance.

Well... isn't it the only other exclusively sports channel on cable? So it isn't like they're beating a whole lot of other channels.

Its like saying the xbox is the 2nd most popular game system released by microsft after the xbox 360

how sad

they went live in the locker rooms...looks like they're using old VHS recorders

Green was leaning against a chair and giving the least impassioned speech in the history of the world...

Wow this game is an embarassment to football. The uniforms are an embarassment to fabric.

The uniforms suck real bad....

The quality has been less then impressive just from the little I've seen from it thus far.
