Money, Fame, Pigskin | The League

[Hip-hopSocialist]

Welcome to the start of my new franchise. This will be a 12 team league that I will run not only as a report of how the teams do but as a story. There will be plot, storylines, and lots of action. I hope you enjoy what I hope will be a great thread.

-The League-
12 Teams
Game: NCAA 2009 (Though this league will be run in a pro format)
Platform: Ps2
How it will work:

I will play all games in "Play Now" mode. I will use a stat tracker software to keep stats for the league. I will play all games, and I will always control the offense.

The League

foot·ball-

a game in which two opposing teams of 11 players each defend goals at opposite ends of a field having goal posts at each end, with points being scored chiefly by carrying the ball across the opponent's goal line and by place-kicking or drop-kicking the ball over the crossbar between the opponent's goal posts.

America's sport. When you heard football you thought bone crushing hits, flashy players, big games. That was before the NFL damn near outlawed tackling. The whole league went to **** in a few short years, it got too soft.
After the NFL was gone, a few start up leagues came and went, but before you knew it, College was the only real football left. For a few years, the once great sport went unnoticed. Kids didn't have the larger than life men to look up too anymore. The blue collar sport had been poached to burgoiese and completely collapsed around itself.

I grew up in Baltimore. When I grew up, I watched Ray Lewis eat people alive. I saw helmets pop and bones break. When the NFL started its slow collapse, I was upset to say the least. Over the years I kept my blue collar roots close, and when my corporation hit it big with the cure to cancer, well thats when the dream spawned on me. Because of my new found fortune, I began toying with my blue collar past. Thats when I decided I would be the man to bring football back to america, 20 years after the demise of the NFL.

When Henry came to me with this scheme of his, I didn't really know what to think. It was brilliant, but football had been gone for so many years, I just didn't know if America was going to take to the whole Idea.

My first concern was where would we get players. Fortunatly for us the amount of underground leagues and the College game gave us plenty of new stars. My next thought was stadiums. When we started looking around we found that many of the old NFL stadiums were in complete disrepair, and colleges wanted a pretty penny for the use of theirs, so that was a huge hurdle as well.

He first came to me in '31, since then we have done a lot of work. Now we're what... a month from the first kick off? I'm pretty excited, this is four years of hard work coming to life. Football is back baby!

I own 12 casinos and 2 Hotels in Las Vegas. Oh and I own the cities only major sports team.

I'm a bussiness man, money is my only object. I have a team that in one month will be taking the field in downtown Vegas. America Hasn't seen this sport in twenty years! I'm going to have every man in the western part of the country captivated. In my years in here in The City of Sin, I've learned presentation is everything, whether its casinos or a football team. I've been watching old films of the NFL. I've got the strips hottest woman in next to nothing on the sidelines, I've got a hot young singer performing at halftime, and I have the most comfortable stadium in the country decorated with Vegas lights.

I'm here for one thing; money. I plan to make a killing.

So let start here...

The above statements may have tipped you off on whats going on here...

Yes this is the future. Tah Dah. No living underwater, no flying cars, and sadly, no football. Lets face it, the NFL was on a destruction course, and by 2015, not even the richest of the rich could support a game that nobody wanted to see. Players had been shrouded in layers of pads and restrictions on how they could deliver hits. Salaries had become outragous gauges of how big a players ego was. The blue collar game had become as soft as an ice cream in July, and the tower of glitz and glam came toppling down before Rodger Goodell could even be ousted from command.

Football suffered a painful hiatus. The likes of ESPN aired games played in college stadiums, where former NFL stars sometimes played with amatuer teams. A few leagues rose to the top, and for a while it seemed as if football might make a comeback, but every league would eventually topple down in a fit of financial dispute. One NFL team, the Green Bay Packers remained, taking on all comers at the sacred Lambeau Field. Soon enough though pro football was gone. On saturday and sundays College teams would play games that promised to be among the last for the men who played them, with no NFL future ahead. Underground leagues remained, but with no financial angle. Soccer overtook Soldier Field and Dallas Stadium. Pro Football was over.

But Henry Black changed all that. In 2031, shortly after he struck billions when his company developed the cure for cancer, he began talks of starting a new football league. By 2033 the frame work was in place. All of the sudden dates were in place, teams were made, college players had a goal to shoot for, and underground players began working towards the new League.

By 2034 the news had hit, football would start next year. Real Pro football was back.

Now its but a month before the start of the 2035 season. 12 teams will battle for one goal, to be named the first champion football team in 20 years.

This documentry will follow three owners, several players, and one entire league as they begin a battle to bring football back to american households. The stories will not always reveal the perfect side of the sport. The Leagues lax aproached on substance abuse will be revealed. The money fueled owners will show their true sides, and true american hero's will emerge.
