The NFL has determined that it will switch the focus of its international business strategy to presenting the NFL to the widest possible global audience, including broader media visibility and the staging of international regular-season games, and will discontinue NFL Europa.

"The time is right to re-focus the NFL's strategy on initiatives with global impact, including worldwide media coverage of our sport and the staging of live regular-season NFL games," commented Mark Waller, senior vice president of NFL International.

Well there is a player pool of a couple hundred former pros for the UFL to have access too. Several players from NFL Europe made the big show, but now the talent will be able to play in the USA. Things couldn't have gone better for Cuban and the UFL crew.

and grizzly, good call
