Koren should have layed off the booze. He might have had a steady career in Seattle if he did. Oh yea, his brittle knees didn't help either. But maybe when he was drunk, he fell on his knees lots of times? lol

On February 9, 2009, it was announced that Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and collegiate roommate of former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, had stepped forward heading a group of investors who invested $30 million to purchase four franchises to play in the league's 2009 inaugural season.

The league has left the door open for more teams to play in the initial season, but has acknowledged that many potential owners are taking a wait and see position. The four teams are scheduled to play a six game schedule starting in October and ending around Thanksgiving. The truncated 2009 season has been described by the league's commissioner as "a soft launch," similar to the one used by the Arena Football League in its inaugural season back in 1987. Each team's home schedule will be split between multiple home cities to develop fans in most of their eight target cities and to attract additional owners as the league transitions from an exciting concept to a functioning ongoing concern.

The four teams will be playing in six or seven cities in the inaugural season, which will consist of six games for each team; three away, two at "first home," and a third at the "second home." Following the six-week regular season will be a championship game, held on Thanksgiving weekend; Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas will host the game.

The league intends to place most of its teams in markets where the NFL has no presence, with an early team being placed in Las Vegas and playing a game in Los Angeles. Despite a June 2007 report from The New York Times indicating that teams were already being set up in Mexico City, this will not occur in the league's first two seasons. Markets being considered for 2010, in addition to Los Angeles and Hartford, are Salt Lake City; Monterrey, Mexico; Philadelphia (at the area's new soccer stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania); Milwaukee; Detroit; Chicago; Omaha; Portland, Oregon; San Antonio; and up to seven major markets in Europe, including London and several in Germany, among several potential other domestic locations.

It has been speculated in the press that the UFL's long-term business plan is to be present if or when the NFL and its players' union reach the end of their contract in 2011, giving players that would be locked-out or striking an opportunity to play somewhere else.

During a live chat on the league's official website, Commissioner Huyghue confirmed that the Los Angeles metro area will receive a United Football League franchise for the 2010 season

Team names were announced during the second week of August.

The NFLPA has advised any NFL player cut in training camp to consider the UFL as an employment opportunity.
