"Outside the NFL" had a chance to chat with Rick Mueller, general manager of the United Football League's four franchises.

Editor's note: Former UNLV wide receiver Casey Flair writes a weekly journal for the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a member of the Locomotives of the United Football League:

In advance of Wednesday night’s UFL Game between the New York Sentinel and the Las Vegas Locos at Hofstra University, Locos Head Coach Jim Fassel — formerly the New York Giants head coach — was honored for his contributions to the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance at KeySpan Park.
 

On Wednesday night, the Las Vegas Locomotives trounced the New York Sentinels, 41-10, to remain in contention for a berth in the UFL Championship Game on Nov. 27.

Last night I attended my first live United Football League game after covering the development of the league from an idea in Bill Hambrecht’s head to a live, functioning professional league. A lot could be written about the game, well, a lot could be written about the Locos’ domination which was complete and total. Something could be written about the heart that the Sentinels showed on the sideline even as they were manhandled. I could even write about the experience of being on the field and having the opportunity to meet so many of the folks associated with the league – ranging from Doug Flutie to GM Rick Mueller.
