Introducing the newest team: the Brooklyn Bolts. For info on the FXFL go to facebook and search for "FXFL Fans". Team was just announced today they will be playing at MCU Park. Is it time to take this league serious with three teams already announced and venues chosen?

And to avoid having people actually come to the games.

Revised: 47 days.
They're going to try to play in 47 days.
And they're going to announce their schedule with 43 days to play.
So the front offices that don't actually exist will have 43 days to sell tickets to games on inconvenient nights for attendees to see guys who aren't good enough wearing uniforms that haven't actually been created yet in games officiated by people who don't yet know that they're going to be doing that and don't know the rules yet.
How can it miss?

The website is so damn slick, one can neither buy tickets nor merchandise even though those two things are most prominently displayed. Have you asked if you can change your username to "boltsnation" since you seen to become a instant mark?

How can it miss? The Forbes article has some great lines and quotes in it. www.forbes.com/sites/davidlariviere/2014/08/21/new-developmental-football-league-will-have-franchises-in-brooklyn-boston-omaha-and-miami/Woods' own words: They have no players and they want to start on October 8. More Woods: Define "a lot of people"? From the story: 1-They are looking for a neutral site for the title game. Why? 2-Players will be paid $1,000 per game with housing and meals provided and contracts will be flexible as swift movement to an NFL team will be allowed. 3-Three of the four head coaching positions have been filled including one former NFL coach. However only his brother has been named as HC.

The league is being rushed together at the last minute, but it is at least starting to look like they'll play. Whether anyone notices or the quality of play remains to be seen however.

The Bolts one isn't too bad though I am not too fond of the other two.
