Quote:

The league’s “Protect or Pick” draft approach begins with a round in which teams have the option of claiming (“protecting”) a player for whom that team had first dibs based on geographic proximity. The alternative is to “pick” a player from another region if, say, a competitor’s territory had a surplus of talent or a prospect more specifically aligned with a coach’s style of play. Regardless of the way a team chooses to go, each of the 8 teams will complete the first round with a QB to call its own.

I like the NFLE feel of the uniforms.

None the uniforms are terrible and I really like the Arizona Hot Shots uniform. Who knew green, yellow and a touch of dark orange would look so good?

Just found out about this league for the first time today (for some reason) when reading about the XFL.

I have CBSSN, so definitely will be watching some games next year and may take a trip over to San Antonio to watch one of their games.

I looked over their roster and recognized a handful of guys I enjoyed watching in college from schools like Texas, A&M, UH and TCU, so it'll be fun to watch them again. Pretty cool.

Well if the coaches press the "A" or "X" button fast enough depending on what system they're using, they'll line up faster too, saving another 10-15 minutes.

CBS is starting to advertise this during their broadcasts.
