LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Former Buffalo Bills quarterback J.P. Losman signed Tuesday with the Las Vegas franchise in the United Football League, which kicks off its first season in October.

Losman, a first-round draft pick in 2004 out of Tulane, is the most notable player to sign with the fledgling UFL so far.

"The United Football League is providing me with the opportunity to play the sport I love at a high level and for that, I am extremely grateful," said Losman. "I am excited to get back out onto the field and represent Las Vegas during the league's first season."

Wow.
The UFL has inked their marquee player!!

When Vick signs, interest will skyrocket.

You say that he's more interesting than Bollinger?

wth is the UFL?

[Tad7]

I sort of look forward to the UFL...except I don't have the Versus channel so it doesn't matter.

But the games are gonna be Wednesday through Friday in the fall and will feature players playing their asses off to work their way to or back to the NFL. Not a bad idea at all.

It just seems like it would make for sense to have the season run say March - May so it wouldn't be during NFL season and players have a shot at showcasing themselves early for the NFL for the following season. I guess they chose to time it where players who don't have an NFL team to start that season can play in the UFL.

I hope Ron Mexico signs with the Pit Bulls.

How funny would it be if Favre blows us off to go play in this league?

[Prophet]

I bet having [size=11pt]Brooks Bollinger[/size] in the league will help sell a lot of tickets.

I heard they signed Dimitrius Underwood.

Then he tried to kill himself. Again.
