It's a great idea if it's just a mini tourney that runs for a week with prize money at stake. Anything else and its after the novelty of seeing dudes that have vanished in the last 10-15 years wears off it's kinda

 

[Roman Brady]

maybe with everyone getting hurt they bring them back

remembers when this was happening in the xfl and they would say it's cuz the brand of football was smash mouth

 

[cfountain]

Yeah, while I did enjoy the 1st week of games and will continue to watch, they are going to have to go beyond Ex-veteran players at some point.

Expand it to D-leagurers as well. Maybe require a certain amount of experience in a prior league to play.

No matter what, the old players thing can only last for so long.

But there will always be "new" old players.

As long as the interest is there from the players I think they're good as is.


Nash finally got his ring

Oh...I got to watch it now! Didn't know Bonzi was in the league. Haven't watched the first week yet.

Hopefully they turn out in charlotte

And the ratings stay solid.
They got 400k viewers which was 4.5 times what they were expecting apparently(from fs1 radio show)

The final will be live.
The Big3 league is off to hot start and organizers plan to keep up momentum

More viewers than the SEC championship game for a delayed telecast

Iverson is really the only former star doing it though, it's only sustainable if more former stars with fan bases did it
