Very dumb idea. OK you are not going to interfere with the NFl, that is great, but guess what, you will be running up against MLB, the NBA playoffs, and the NHL playoffs. Sorry, but if the Caps are in the hunt for the Cup next season, folks from the DC Metro area are going to watch the Caps over anything else. I am a football fan and will check out some games just to see how it is, but I doubt it is going to go anywhere. The former USFL had NFL caliber players that gambled with going to the new league. This new league is going to be set up almost like a minor league, which isn't going to garner much interest outside of the true diehard football fan, and there are not too many of those around.
