Mark Cuban Considering Rival to NFL

I think he's mostly right, but tends to overstate it. It's true that there's a lot of talent that doesn't get paid. Remember, second-day draft picks are not guaranteed contracts. So you could probably piece together 5-10 quality teams, if you focused on second-day picks and UFAs. The problem is that the salary upside isn't going to be the same, and that a lot of players who are going to be available have huge question marks. So I think you'll see a lot of imbalance.

Like this has never been thought of before. Cuban might want to pop a call over to Vince McMahon. However on the plus side, He Hate Me is probably looking for a job.

Won't hurt the NFL at all. AFL franchises have trouble staying put and not folding. You essentially lose the entire 14-18 year old audience, plus their parents, plus high school teachers and coaches. Not to say that that's a lot of people, but those are probably the one's most willing to take a chance on watching a new league. It'll be playing third fiddle to the NFL and AFL. the talent would be really low. The best AFL player is about a practice squad NFLer, so he'd be digging himself a pretty dang big hole

Will the owners be permitted to attack refs when the refs blow a call?

Roger Goodell just suspended Mark Cuban for 8 games.
