There is also for want of a better word a "breakaway" version of NFL......it used to be called XFL or similar when it was started by Vince Mcmahon (WWE fame) unfortunately covid struck and it was mothballed.
The Rock Johnson and some backers have now bought it and it is well worth watching.
A more faster flowing version and one team owner has said that if anyone has knee problems before a game and cant stand for the anthem they will be sacked on the spot.
It is shown on Fox sports and worth watching.
I actually quite liked the womens version of lingerie footy when it was about as well.

Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Jalen Hurts of Houston, Texas to a five-year deal worth $255 million. The signing now makes Hurts the highest paid quarterback in National Football League history in terms of average annual value.

Hurts will be paid an average of $51 million per season over the next five seasons. Of the $255 million, a total of $179 million is guaranteed.

This past season, Hurts completed 306 passes in 460 attempts for 3701 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. The first year Pro-Bowler also had 165 rushes for 760 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.

A major reason why Hurts received the massive contract, is because the Eagles won and won a lot in 2022. Of his 15 starts, the Eagles had a record of 14 wins and one loss. Philadelphia reached the Super Bowl,
