Did you blink-- Then you probably missed it.

According to Wikipedia:

The United Football League (UFL) is an independent professional American football league that began play in October 2009. The league's premiere season consisted of four teams and is being played in October and November 2009, culminating in the championship game on November 27 in Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, site of the league's first game on October 8. The league has confirmed a second season, and additional franchises are possible for 2010. The league's defending champions are the Las Vegas Locomotives, who defeated the Florida Tuskers, 20-17, in overtime in the November 27 title game.

I am not exactly sure why I even have an interest in this league, I don't regularly watch the NFL or even NCAA Football. Much like the World Wrestling Entertainment owned XFL, I get a kick out of these mini leagues. Maybe it is the entrepreneur inside of me that likes to see someone attempt a similar business model but approach it differently. Or maybe its just because unlike people a few years older than me, I never got to see the debut of a successful rival league. The 60's had the AFL, which has more or less become the AFC in the NFL. The was also the WFL, the USFL, and like I mentioned the XFL. All of which didn't last long. There are even reports of a Spring/Summer league called the NewUSFL. But the UFL seems different to me. The UFL has already signed 2 television deals, HDNet and Versus. And a 4 team league, although seems very small, certainly kept costs down in its initial season. They say they have plans to have a second season next year and hope to expand into more areas. Below is a recap of the championship game.
