Hidy Ho to all of my fellow Detroit Lions fans,
Yes can you believe it that I am posting my blog when I said I would? Yes miracles happen every day. This blog will be a short one because it has to do with my dreams of the UFL becoming the developmental league for the NFL. The other night I came up with a "farm team" for each of the NFL teams. The problem I had wasn't coming up with cities of where to place the teams but giving them really cool names. That was the most painful. I went through many revisions and some earlier typos of giving a couple of cities two teams which was not my attention. It is a lot of hard work coming up with an entire league.
By the way a big thank you to all of you who take the time to read my blogs and check out the links I collect from MLive. They have the best sports coverage when it comes to the Lions because unlike other media outlets they are not embarrassed to publish stuff on the Lions. When one of you comment that you checked it out and took the time to look it over it gives my heart such a warm fuzzy feeling that a nuclear reactor seems frigid in comparison.
You all are wondering what does my blog title mean this time? Well the Snow Leopards are the Detroit Lions farm team that will play in Grand Rapids if I ruled the football world. The reason I say Snow Leopard and Friends it is in homage to Saturday morning cartoons when they were the highlight of your week when you were a kid. Anyone remember the days of Bugs Bunny and Pals? Awesome cartoons.
Well you know that one of the biggest improvements the NFL needs is a developmental league like what Major League Baseball has with their AAA teams. I am hopeful like many other football fans that the UFL (United Football League) will be that answer. By the way here is the web site for the UFL.
http://www.ufl-football.com/ I would like to see the UFL partner with the NFL and become its right arm. A league that gives us fans our fix of football and molds players to play at the NFL level. Time will tell. Well here is the list of NFL teams with their affiliate. I hope you all get a kick out of the team names. Some might seem lame but I was tring to be originial and come up with names you don't hear that often.
