He played in the Evergreen Semi-Pro Football League last season. Please help Mister Moss and I by quadrupling their traffic by clicking on their site and reading the very first line. http://www.evergreenfootballleague.com/
They should release a player or two and put that money towards their website to be professionally designed.
It wouldn't cost too much to have their site redone - it's all static html pages. Websites get expensive when you start dealing with dynamic data. Alternatively they could use a free site like leaguelineup.com that allows anyone that is able to use the internet to setup a website and it would be 100% better.
I'm just trying to make the point that money isn't the issue with their shitty website, it's lack of caring or effort. FITM implied that it would cost a lot to make it nice, when it wouldn't. I don't think semi-pro players get paid either. At least the guys I know that play on local semi-pro teams don't get paid. They actually have to pay for their own equipment.
Tons.... There are literally hundreds of semi-pro teams around the country... The two biggest, to my knowledge, are the NAFL and the RAFL (the RAFL being the league I'm currently in- proud to say that I played a year in the NAFL as well, but the RAFL is the proud home to the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the country)... A lot of other leagues are local, or regional, but there are a couple national leagues... Semi-pro teams see a lot of pro-level kickers and punters working their way through en-route to the NFL, because many of them go undrafted.... We also see a lot of former pros join our rosters when they are trying to make a come-back to the league... Last season I had the opportunity to play with Eric Swann, a former #6 overall pick.... It was VERY easy to play LB behind that mountain of a man...
I just thought it was funny. And hey, if Graham keeps struggling and this kid impresses, maybe he can be a Jet, who knows? It would be a story for one day at training camp, might as well get the word out there now in case he sticks.
Yeah, I guess it's not a long shot for a semi-pro guy to beat out a guy who never played any real organized football until 3 seasons ago.
True, for what they're doing HTML with some css would be fine though. Leaguelineup.com would probably be there best option. Anyway - go Joe Smith. WOOOOH
If you don't get paid, surely you're amateur, not semi-pro. I always thought semi-pro players got just a little money, but not enough to mean they don't need other jobs as well.
It depends on the league... Most of the big leagues make it against the rules to pay the players on the books.. However, teams that sell tickets usually pay their players under-the-table, and the salaries range from as low as $50/game (that was my rookie salary on my old team) to upwards of $500/game, plus housing and transportation (that's what the former pros would get)
Special teams MVP for their entire league goes to a PUNTER? uh.... is that a testament to Joe's insanely superior punting skills or a testament to how horrible this league's special teams are? in all fairness if the kid can be ST MVP for the league why not give him a flyer? they obviously think he can be at least as good as Kapinos if not better, and Kapinos was a guy many of you thought would take BG's job as punter...
