It's almost time

October 8th, 9 PM on Versus. The UFL plays the first down. I am really excited.
I have also already been proven wrong! I assumed Craig Nall would be the starter in Orlando...well, he was cut! That's impressive. If the team can cut NFL-caliber talent then the UFL talent must be pretty high.
Here is a great article about the league itself. It's more eloquent than I can be so I will just post the link .
It does have a touching story about a guy who tried out but did not do well. He called to try and get a second shot. Apparently he has been working 60-70 hours a week in a plant and was exhausted and did not have time to prepare for the try out.
Maybe he gets another shot and maybe he doesn't. That's for the league to decide, but let it be a lesson to the rest of us.
Sometimes you only get one shot. Better make the most of it.
