Florida Tuskers complete first UFL season undefeated

The Florida Tuskers have completed the inaugural UFL season a perfect 6-0, and while that is a great accomplishment, the league has a few other things to be proud of. A lot has been written, or not written about the success of this league, the low attendance, and the low TV ratings, but after watching the game between the Tuskers and the California Redwoods last night, one this is assured the quality of play on the field is a strong selling point for this league. Now they just have to figure out how to get more people in the stands, and more people to watch the TV broadcasts.

College athletes are still setting records and dispelling myths — in the classroom. The NCAA’s latest graduation numbers show nearly four out of five student-athletes earn their diplomas on time, an all-time high, and federal statistics show athletes are still more likely to graduate on time than other students.

Does the UFL belong in New York?

As the premier season of the UFL comes to a close this week, and the league looks to expand into new markets for year two, we have to wonder if this league belongs in the big market of New York. The New York Sentinels have the second worst average attendance behind just the California Redwoods. They are averaging just 6,637 fans per home game and in a town like New York that makes them insignificant. Granted this team is 0-5 and will likely finish year one without a win, but a new league can ill afford its New York team to draw so poorly.

Buffalo Bills fire their Head Coach

The Buffalo Bills became the first NFL team to fire their Head Coach in 2009 today when they fired Dick Jauron. To say that the 2009 campaign has been a disappointment is a vast understatement. Finishing 7-9 for the past three years, added to what looked like a decent 2009 draft, on top of the signing of receiver Terrell Owens, Bills fans were looking for something more than a 3-6 start. In fact many NFL pundits had The Bills on a list of teams on the cusp of making a playoff run. Instead they have failed to make T.O. a part of their offensive attack, and it looks like they will have to undertake a massive rebuilding effort.
