How can they make the NFLE better?

[Tarlam!]

Great ideas. You just want my job!

I love the idea of rewarding winners with draft picks. I would suggest, though, that the winner of world bowl gets pick # 33 and #34. (two NFL teams). The higher pick goes in order of the draft. Second place in world bowl gets the corresponding 2nd round picks, and so forth.


I love bringing Canada into it, but, Canada will not.


Overall, some great ideas...

I thought of the higher picks but man that seems too high for me for some reason.

Just buy Canada!!!! cmon at that exchange rate we could by the whole company for what it costs for a number 6 and a coke!!!!

[Tarlam!]

Are you completely bizarre? What is the cost of fielding a 3rd rate football team? 50 players, coaches and band aides? That MUST be worth a 1st if I field the best....

[Tony Oday]

I dont know I just think that a 1st rounder is too high but heck its open to suggestions!

The main benefit of the new league would be upgraded players that have upgraded experience when they step on the NFL field. Not just college players but actually proffesional that is all I do is play football talent.

some questions regarding this set-up?
football is a much different animal than the other longer-gamed seasons. How would injuries and underperfroming roster members be handled. Would it be modeled after baseball where injured players can be designated back to the minors for rehab? As it stands now, players just sit on the sidelines and wait to come back. Maybe now you can call up a 2nd year QB while your stud QB or whatever rehabs for a month or two in Europe.

Big D the NFL would be playing at different times to fill up the void in sports that is called the NBA season!

I think you guys have put a lot of thought into things. However, you can't just 'use' the CFL. It happens to be a pro league in its own rights!

The NFL has had some agreements with it in the past, but I doubt very much it would be open to having players 'assigned' to it. The league has continuity, and teams have 10yr vets that the community knows and supports, etc. No interest in a league full of players passing through, hoping to move onto something better.

[Tony Oday]

GREAT point Guiness. Thats why we buy the league!!! hehe

THat is a big flaw in my plan but is there a work around? Im sure there is

Brainstorm people!!! We need to get Tarlam a jobby job!

[Tony Oday]

Just thought about it is there anyone in the CFL that could replace a starter in the NFL? I dont think so unless they cant stay off the mary jane!!!!

So this would give their pro league an infusion of money and talent will providing the cities a better product on the field and lead to inroads into the Canada market for the NFL.

What would make me watch?

How about televising the games on american Network TV (ABC,CBS,NBC, FOX) on frickin' SUNDAY?

It's my same beef with the AFL, which I would watch more of if they could televise the games on frickin' Sunday!

Football/Sunday - just like beer/brats, spaghetti/sauce, chocolate/peanut butter - these things just go great together so why do they gotta re-invent the wheel?

[Tony Oday]

Well I dont see it on the main networks however the NFL network would be nice if the games were on Sunday.

But that would be nice to turn on Fox and see an NFLE game in HD.

if the nfl could attach itself to the cfl somehow (other than wizzinator customers smoking the ganga with likes of ricky williams), i don't think the canucks would have an player identity problem. As soon as the NFL puts it's name on anything, peoples interest is there. Would anybody be talking about this if the NFLE were called the Eurpean Football League or something but had the same players and orginization. I like the sound of NFL Canada and NFL Europe squaring off....nice You can't tell me there is ANY players in canada that wouldn't mind moving to the states to make dollars instead of Loonies and Toonies.

What would make me watch?

The only reason anyone would become a fan is if the NFL teams supported a SINGLE farm team. I put up a proposal on the other thread, where I allocated the NFL teams their farm teams, and also moved the franchises around Europe.

I TRULY think this league could be HUGE in promoting the NFL. Heck, get into the Aisan market - except they rip off the merchandise and sell cheapo copies...

The problem with this is that the Canadian Football League has been around longer than the NFL, has a long history, and its rules vary greatly from NFL rules. Canadians like their game. I'd like to hear from a Canadian about what they think.
