This is probably a bit off topic for this thread, but in regard to Pelosi's husband being an owner in the UFL.

The UFL is a pissant league in comparison to the NFL, all the big names are in the NFL, the NFL is a global giant. That said is it curious to any others that the head of the NFLPA is DeMaurice Smith, a guy with no experience in the job he holds, big shock. He has stated, in oh so many words, that the NFLPA is going to play hardball with the NFL owners, to the point of forcing the owners to lock out the players after the current bargaining agreement expires.
If this happens, the players could then choose to sign on with the UFL. Now I'm sure the NFL owners aren't soiling themselves with worry over this, but it is still curious to me that the union chief for the players is: DeMaurice Smith, attorney and former member of the 0bama transition team in the department of Justice, civil rights division. Maybe I'm just playing Alex Jones here and connecting dots to things that don't connect, but I remember it being said that if the NFL has an ugly labor battle in 2011, it would be an economic bonanza for the UFL if the cards fall their way. Is DeMaurice Smith a crooked dealer at the table?

Any enlighted freeper football fans have any insights?
