I did a search, but should have known no one brought up NFLE lately. :blush:

Even if you can understand why this league is feasible, tell me why we just can't call it

"NFL-Germany + Amsterdam". :unsure:

Either way, The quality of play is really poor. :sleep:

:D :D :D

Heh. I didn't even know that league still existed. I stopped following it when they changed the name from WLAF and got rid of the American teams including my favorite, the NY/NJ Knights.

They had to change it from WLAF, when everyone started calling it "What a Laugh". :)

It's really for people who want to play on an NFL roster, or players that are on the bottom level of Pro teams. It is to work on their skills during the offseason, and hopefully get them better. Basically, it's scraping the bottom of the NFL barrel in talent.

Because it's not just germany and amsterdam.  There's teams all over Europe...hence, NFL Europe

Actually, he was correct. 5 out of the 6 teams are in Germany with the one exception being Amsterdam.

Amsterdam Admirals

Cologne Centurions

Frankfurt Galaxy

Rhein Fire

Hamburg Sea Devils

Berlin Thunder

As I recall, there USED to be teams elsewhere in Europe but now it is mostly just Germany.

Because it sounds stupid and it limits the market to Germany and Holland.

Pretty much everything I know about NFL Europe is owed to picking the worst teasm in Madden for some beat em' up fun. I love try to score 100 points in a game. :laugh:

Not to disagree, but this is also to get the sport known in other countries.
