What’s Pro about Semi-Pro Football?

First, I want to make a disclaimer.  I love semi-pro football–the idea.  I love the fact that the guy down the street, my friend, is a firefighter, a salesman, works for a freight company, whatever, and then goes out to put on a show on Saturday night.  That story is compelling, and in an age [...]

Today, I continue what I started on Monday. I hope to address the issues I raised then in today’s article. Suggestions 1. Overhead–Overhead will always exist.
