A new spring, outdoor professional football league has been created and financed. Tebow's reps have been approached about the former Broncos QB playing in the league, and a franchise most likely will be awarded soon to Denver. ESPN, which now employs The Big Tebowski, will televise league games.
The A-11 Football League is officially open for business and has scheduled its inaugural championship game for July Fourth weekend in 2015.
The A11FL's plan, McKibben said, is to complement, not compete with, the NFL. "We're not making mistakes other leagues did. We always will be a spring league," the former newspaper publisher and Rose Bowl executive director said.
"We would love to have Tim Tebow join our league. We have talked with his lawyer, and his agent, and we have made an offer," which includes a piece of team ownership.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I really think the NFL is missing out on not starting a summer minor league. Each team would get another team in the same town or a nearby one like Colorado Springs where they could draw people from when injuries hit the teams in the fall.
And depending on ticket price, I would probably go see Tebow play football in the offseason.

I was all over Elway's arena team when it came to be but that game is no where near the same game as traditional NFL football. I'm interested to see how this develops and I can't lie, I'm a football junkie so this part of the year sucks for me. Having Tebow come back to town would be great but I think he's got more potential and should be an NFL player, not a minor league star. Adding insult to injury is this years Olympics, a sad Men's Olympic Hockey team, and the stoppage of the NHL while the Olympics took place. Too soon for baseball but not too soon for a road trip to see the Rockies in Spring training but that means time off from work and laying out a lot more cash than it would cost to have a fun day at Coors Field.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
