My Hood League is just an idea I have right now. Its were we go to hoods and get guys who like playing football. They get together make their own teams and we play on the streets. you only need a qb,rb,and 3wrs. 5 guys. 10 make the roster. you play both sides of the ball. I guess we could get local biz to sponser the teams and unless the game is being played in your hood you have to buy tickets. say 2 bucks for kids 4 for adults ? This would be cool and teams could scout the games. if they like someone bring them in on the Practice squad and who knows ............... anyone wanna help start this ?

it sounds like a cool idea, but i seriously doubt that it would even come close to working

Its simple actually. The only expenses would be traveling security. You cant have a drive by being done in the middle of the game ............. local bizs could pay for all that.

but the thing is, y would anyone want to pay for it

but the thing is, y would anyone want to pay for it

could be an interest in the idea and it is also a tax deduction. As well as advertising for their company.

Play on the streets,huh? Rugged. Or is it two hand touch?

Rugged you wouldnt find anyone to sponsor them, and you need some sort of insurance - medical - don't you? I know you do in Australia and i doubt anyone would playing street ball with the high risk of danger.

One problem I see is that there is no point in having a running back if it is touch.

And isnt this just flag football anyway?

Is that ray lewis posting????
(sorry had to say it..)

There's no shortage of players for practice squads.

I can't begin to start pointing out the faults in this. I really can't, there are two many. Lack of motivation for almost anyone is a good one.

this is kinda like a slamball concept....hey...slamfootball. damn imagine the height you get trying to catch a ball off a trampoline.

except he said play in the street, and trampolines are usually in peoples back yards with grass, this idea would never work, just play a pickup game with ur friends and kids in the neighborhood

:hmm: ok the playing on the streets thing was just an idea to add the the concept of playing in the hood.I guess we can move it to grass................ 2hand touch is cool as long as you have a ref to call someone down. guys like to cheat ............... insurance ? nobody gets hurt playing ......... well i once caught a pass and had to look over my shoulder for it and tripped over the side walk. we were playing in a dead end cirlce and i scored but dude. i was scratched up pretty bad but thats the risk . the guys can play at their own risk. i'm sure local college scouts would come out and to someone who hasnt played highschool ball ......... thats their opportunity
