    Oh, oh, I just learned that Mike Tyson, Richard Sherman, and Marshawn Lynch all have a stake in the ownership of these FCF teams.

    This league will probably fail.

    I've thought about this for a while, and after much pondering, I would have gone with "Rats" as a team name instead of Glacier Boys. When are we finally going to get a pro team named the Rats?

    @doubledragon Since you started this thread and obviously have some kind of payola/plugola thing with the league, I'm counting on you to bump this thread and let me know the whens and wheres.

    Thanks

    Double d, that would be too late. I'm saying let me know when the games are happening.

    One game has already been played. The Beasts beat the Zappers 48-44, the Zappers had one last chance to win, check out this wild ending!

    Here's some screenshots from that article. Has Johnny Football hit bottom? I'm being serious, substance abuse was a huge player in his downfall, and it sounds like he is not in a good place.

    @thisistheshow, You would think he has learned from his past mistakes, it certainly doesn't sound like it. He's been given another chance, it sounds like he is going to throw it away yet again.

    Just for disclosure, I notice a lot of the younger generation uses alternating lower case and capitals to imply sarcasm. Or they just end a statement with /s. Or they use an emoji like K SteveK did.

    Effective online communication is a skill with a learning curve but very much worth acquiring.

    I try to use correct punctuation. I only have a high school education though, and I did make good grades in english, but I stunk at math. I was rebellious against math and still am.

    Thank goodness there are more offered on the internet or i'd be lost. :)

    That's good information.

    I only have 1 emoji that I use. Sometimes its happy, sometimes sad.
    But recently my emoji has gone psycho on me. I'm really afraid of my emoji,
    I wish it would just go away. I think its turned against me.

    It's obviously some convoluted scheme to induce gamblers to have some sort of stake in the games and therefore bet more on the games.

    Well their "new idea" is already being done with Draftkings, fantasy football, etc. Why would anyone care to put together a fantasy team of washed up nobodies?

    They'll only succeed if there are enough addicted degenerates out there who would bet on anything including chicken racing from Thailand...and would also bet on this FCF garbage.

    I'm still waiting for those cards to take off. I always found it funny that PSA would print the word on a flip, but you couldn't use in on their forum ...

    I didn't test the word here before posting. From posting in so many other forums over the years and they usually ban a word such as that, i just instinctively did c0ckfighting.

    BTW: cool cards, even though the card topic is despicable.

    I only support chicken boxing if it's done the correct way, with gloves, and chickens that want to compete. And believe it or not, it's a real sport. This photo was recently taken of the current World featherweight champion.
