NFL to get competition (UFL to start in '08)
- New NFL rival started by Wall Street investor Bill Hambrecht and Google exec Tim Armstrong.

- Mark Cuban is on board as first team owner.

- Teams in L.A., Las Vegas and Mexico City so far. They are aiming for eight, particularly in cities with no NFL team.

- Aiming for debut in August 2008.

- Playing on Friday nights.

- Aiming for TV deal with cable networks like USA, TNT or Versus (OLN).

- No players with "He Hate Me" on the back of their jersey. Yet.

- They claim that this time, things will be different.
