United Football League co-owner Mike Repole made a few headlines the other day at a press conference discussing his league.
Repole may have let it slip that the NFL may be ready to expand again and add two more expansion teams.
According to Pro Football Talk analyst Mike Florio, although nothing has been said, Repole may have the inside scoop on the situation because of his business partnership with Tom Brady.
"As far as anyone knows on the outside, the NFL isn’t talking about adding teams. Given that Repole may be in a position to pick up some inside information (he and Tom Brady are partners in NoBull, for example), Repole may have heard something that wasn’t yet intended for public consumption."
Florio continued, "Regardless, the NFL’s quest for more inventory eventually will pivot from adding more weeks to the season to adding more teams to the league. Either Repole, who delivered the information as if it were factual, is woefully misinformed, or he inadvertently let the cat out of the bag."
It sounds like if the NFL is intending to expand, it wasn't supposed to be public knowledge, at least not right now.
