The writing was on the wall. When it was announced earlier this year that the United Football League’s (UFL) training camp would be suspended for 30 days and its regular season games were pushed back a month, I started to wonder just how much longer the fledgling league had in it.

When the United Football League (UFL) was just beginning at the tail end of 2007, Michael Huyghue was asked to become the new league’s Commissioner. Huyghue’s résumé spoke for itself.

However, teams had spent the last 2 days putting together such lists under the assumption that they would become effective today. In any case, it will not become a reality…at least for the meantime. Update (5:17 p.m. 4/14/2011): The UFL […]
Over the weekend, I spoke with quite a few agents who are very upset with the United Football League (UFL). This time, it has absolutely nothing to do with the UFL’s $150,000 transfer fee. Instead, agents are up in arms about the UFL’s slow process in paying out agent fees. In fact, one agent told […]

What started off as a 2005 New Year’s Resolution by yours truly, has turned into its own successful and profitable business, and a publication (call it “blog” – I am proud of that word) that has at least been discussed (if not read) by every sports agent in […]
