I asked the same thing and was told to look it up. Some mythical character. NY team playing 1 home game at Giants Stadium (where I'm going tonight for Sprinsgteen), Citi Filed (nice place) and 150 miles Northeast at UConn's Home filed in East Hartford.

I saw a billboard for them but the local media hasn't mentioned them at all (wrapped up in the Yankes)

Click the period at the top of the Vegas Roster.

It's actually Tyrell Fenroy, represented by a dot.

Looks like someone wants to bring the USFL back too.

-No pre-season, just a regular season (adopted from the World Football League, although the WFL played a 20-week regular season)

-No touchbacks on kickoffs; if the ball goes out of the endzone, it will be placed at the 15-yard line (adopted from Arena Football League)

-Field goals of 51 yards or more will be four points (adopted from NFL Europe); the exact yardage of the four-point line will be somewhere between 50 and 55 yards and has not yet been set in stone

-A three-point conversion will be placed at the 10 yard line (adopted from the XFL)

-One foot inbounds for a catch (a rule in virtually every league except the NFL)

-No kneel-downs (adopted from Arena Football League)

-Safeties are worth four points

-Overtime will be played like in college and the CFL
