UFL appears to be on life support

I really hate to hear the UFL (United Football League) is struggling.  By no means did I think it would supplant the NFL as the top pro football league in the country, but I thought it would at least catch on and be a respectable "minor league".

If you haven't watched any of the leagues games or payed attention to the UFL it's worth checking out.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The struggling United Football League will
move ahead with four franchises instead of five and play a
condensed regular-season schedule starting Sept. 15.
      The second-tier pro league announced Wednesday that the Hartford
Colonials have suspended operations. That leaves the UFL with teams
in Omaha, Neb., Norfolk, Va., Las Vegas and Sacramento, Calif.
      Each team will play six regular-season games instead of eight,
with three at home and three on the road. The top two teams will
play a championship game.
      The UFL has lost more than $100 million it its first two years.
      The UFL said last month that it would push back the start of the
season a month, fueling speculation that the league would fold.
