READY FOR MORE FOOTBALL - THE UFL?

From UFLAccess.com:

The United Football League had a banner day today, formally announcing their first head coach and the site of the first ever UFL game on October 8, 2009. It has long been said that start up leagues have two chances to make a good impression. The first being the day of their announcement, the second being the inaugural game. From every indication the first day should leave a positive impression on football fans.

The press conference was held at AT&T Park in San Francisco, which was also announced as the home of the new United Football League San Francisco franchise. AT&T Park will also hold the inaugural UFL game on Thursday night October 8, 2009, which will be broadcast in High Definition on Versus. League executives including Commissioner Michael Huyghue were present at the conference, as were lead investors William Hambrecht and Paul Pelosi (yes, this is the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi).
