The SFL is announcing on its official site that negotiations are underway to "activate" the Las Vegas Gamblers, the New Orleans Jazz, and an as yet unnamed Los Angeles team in time for this season. League President Peter Huthwaite is saying additional infomation will be forthcoming by March 20th. So I guess by "activate" they rea;lly did have New Orleans in mothballs but decided to bring them back. This is good news. But how in the world will a league who is so sensitive to transportation costs going to pull off 2 west coast teams? Not sure how thats going to work.... starsfootballleague.com/category/news/ |

OK, ignoring what their "Team Info" section says on the official site since it's always out of date, it appeares as though the SFL is heading for three 3 team divisions. Assuming Bradenton and Port ST. Lucie get rolled up into Ft. Myers as the Swampdogs, that will leave them with Ft. Myers, Lauderdale, and Ft. Pierce as the SFL South. Michigan, Cleveland, and Canton as the SFL North. And Vegas, LA, and New Orleans as the SFL West. Much as I'd like to see Mobile get their "Gladiators," it looks like LA will bump them as the 9th team. Perhaps the "LA Gladiators' will play in the "Coliseum" out there. Who knows.........

Funny you should mention that, Evad, I've been thinking that since we have a few forum members on here who actually live close enough to see some of these teams play that we could ask them to be our "Team Correspondents" and report on whatever they come across pertaining to the team closest to them. This info could be actual gameday experiences or local news they come across that the rest of us wouldn't probably get. And we'd put the Team Correspondent's name under the Team name's category as well. It's been kicking around my head for awhile now, but still waiting to see how the team locales shake out. So yes, you are now the Team Correspondent for the LA team if you want the title. Though I'm thinking having a press pass with "SFL Discussion Board" probably won't get you in the mens room much less the press box, lol |

Great! So, is it time for a name change for this forum? SFLAccess maybe? Sounds a little more official don't you think?
"Hello my name is Dave and I'm calling on behalf of SFLAccess.com and I would like to interview one of your players for a front page story." ;D
I know SFLAccess is a "bite" off the other site so maybe something else.

I'm up for a more official name change for this site. Anyone else want to chime in with suggestions? Maybe we'll have a vote or something with some of the better entries. |

I'd be willing to keep an eye on Vegas as well. I live just 2 hours from L.A. and just 4.5 from Vegas. Unless there is someone in the Vegas area already on this forum. |

Start up a new thread with suggestions to vote on and then have one labeled "other" so people can put their idea in their reply to the thread. |
