This Friday at 8 PM on HDNET.

Nelly is also performing at halftime. A lot of noteable washed up NFL players involved. It is also a sellout.

Good for him and Nelly too. If you think about it could you post the game box please? I'd like to see how he does.

^ I would rather watch those two than Derek Anderson, Trent Edwards and Alex Smith and any other shitty QB in the NFL. At least they were good once.

Yeah...he might not be a consistent quality guy yet and definitely not at the level you'd expect a first round pick to be...but no way in hell he's at the same level as Anderson and Edwards. I feel horrible for Arizona fans. Replacing Warner with Anderson has got to be a monumental depressive shock to them.

As of right now for this season only I would take Jeff Garcia over the following: Alex Smith, Trent Edwards, Derek Anderson, Jason Campbell, Vince Young, Jake Delhomme, Matt Moore, Chad Henne, Mark Sanchez, Sam Bradford, and David Garrard

I wish the UFL didn't have such bad generic uniforms.
At a time when more than a few NFL teams are struggling to sell all of the tickets to their games, one of the five UFL teams has managed to fill up the home stadium in the franchise's debut.

The UFL announced today that the Omaha Nighthawks have sold all seats to Friday night's game against the Hartford Colonials.

Sure, Rosenblatt Stadium holds only 24,000 -- but that will still beat the league's regular-season attendance record by nearly 10,000.

The Omaha roster includes plenty of players with NFL experience, including Wendell Bryant, Maurice Clarett (OK, Clarett really doesn't have much NFL experience), Ricardo Colclough, Damion Cook, Devard Darling, Dusty Dvoracek, Robert Ferguson, George Foster, Jeff Garcia, Charles Grant, Ahman Green, Morlon Greenwood, Cate June, Jeb Putzier, Aaron Rouse, Stuart Schweigert, D.J. Shockley, and Gary Stills.

The game will be televised on HDNet at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Colonials are 1-0; Omaha didn't play in Week One.

I bet Arizona's GM is STILL calling Warner's house 5x's a day hoping he'll reconsider retirement.

Unfortunately for Arizona fans he didn't get voted off last night. I'll put the line at 2 weeks for how long after he is voted off of Dancing with the stars as to when he signs with Zona. As long as they can still make a run for the playoffs.

In that division they could probably start off 1-4 and still win it.

Clarrett is listed as 3rd RB behind A. Green. and Shaud Williams. I would expect him to get some carries though.

Exactly. There is a reason rydawg is not a GM I guess.

Special teams so far. I taped it. They said that was all he'd get anyway tho. Anyone see the interview he had with McGuire?

ESPN said he had a short kick-off return and nearly blocked a punt. Omaha won, 27-26 on a Jeff Garcia touchdown pass with seven seconds left.

Alex Smith has never done anything. Anderson did have that one great season in Cleveland

Pick Garcia over....
Alex Smith- ehhh... maybe
Edwards- yes
Anderson- yes
Campbell- no
Young- Hell no
Delhomme- hell yes
Moore- hell yes
Henne- oh dear god no, Henne is VERY underrated IMO
Sanchez- hell no
Bradford- way to early to even say this, but he has shown some great promise his first 2 games.
Garard- yes.
