Hall of Fame
Could there actually be an covert "arrangement" of "non-compete" between the UFL and the NFL? In light of the loss of the NFLE, could the NFL actually support the establishment of the UFL as a "developmental league" with a wink-wink here, and a wink-wink there..........and maybe a couple of bucks under table. Hmmm.

UFL Conducts Workout
The United Football League held its first workout today in Orlando, Fla., with coach Dennis Green and personnel man Rick Mueller overseeing the activity on the field.
Afterward, UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue, a former Jacksonville Jaguars executive, issued this comment on his Twitter account: Congrats to Coach Green and Rick Mueller on an excellent job with the workouts. A very talented group of players. Tick Tock.
According to UFL spokeswoman Rachel Gary, Green gave an inspirational motivational speech before the workout started.
Pleasantly surprised with the speed of the players considering the field conditions after the rain, Gary wrote.
There was no immediate word on who tried out for the UFL today. The league has billed itself as requiring prospective players to have some sort of NFL background.
Workouts are by invitation, Huyghue wrote. Players must have NFL experience. We are designed to reach young players with some NFL experience. We want players to finish our season and be able to jump on NFL rosters.
Recently, UFL coach Jim Fassel, the former New York Giants head coach, said that he wouldnt be opposed to giving Michael Vick a shot.
The league has franchises in Orlando, New York, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.
