The Hotshots is the nickname of a fire-fighting crew from Prescott, AZ (Granite Mountain) who were killed in the line of duty several years ago.

This league has a very good chance at long term success as the first real minor league football league. I plan to attend the San Diego Fleet games next spring, though I dont love the name.

It’s an interesting decision to name a football team after those guys but if it helps people learn about who they were and what happened that day then maybe it’s a good thing.

GREENBEAN Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 This has a very "World League" feel to it. I'll give it 1 season. Tops.Agreed It sucks. I would love for a legitimate competitor yeti the nfl to arise. They do whatever they want because there is no competition. I hate most of the recent rule changes and KO structure but can’t do anything if I want yo watch football. The IRON ??? Is that for real? Is that city famous for its laundromats or something?

I had been hopeful about the "UFL" about 10 years ago but that totally fizzled. A new spring league would be great. It remains a true shame that the USFL was accelerated toward failure by a noted detestable con artist. Go Generals!

flgreen Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 This league isn't really in competition with the NFL, it begins in Feb. IMO they have a fair chance of success because the CBA expires in 2020 I believe. Chances are high there will be a full season strike this time. A lot of the small city's they are in, are in the south so weather should be perfect for football. They have a chance of getting a base following from football starved fans who are NCAA fans. If the NFL strike goes into a second season, they have a slight chance as long as they manage it right, and keep their national expectations in check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name still sounds ridiculous for a football team, but may work for folks in Prescott given the emotional attachment. The name sounds like a 1987 B-movie title.
