PFL NEWS: QB ALEJANDRO McGHEE CALLS OUT HIFL GMs FOR LACK OF OFFERS AFTER SUPERSTAR QB EXPRESSED INTERESTED IN LEAP TO HIFL!

SAN FRANCISCO -- While he may not have been listed on the HIFL's internal free agency list, 30 year old dual threat QB and two time PFL MVP Alejandro McGhee called HIFL GM's "A bunch of brain dead fools" after the former Team USA QB apparently received no interest on the first day of the HIFL's Unrestricted Free Agency signing period. 

McGhee has been named Offensive Player of the game in 28 out of 34 career PFL starts as well as 14 player of the week honors, an offensive player of the year award and back to back MVPs  while throwing for 10,187 yards, 98 TDs and 18 INTs across two full seasons of play while adding 1599 rushing yards and 19 rushing TDs. 

In the playoffs, McGhee has a Championship and Championship game MVP under his belt with 11 TDs and 1 INT adding 5 more rushing TDs and averaging 327 passing yards in the post-season.

If he goes back to the PFL, the Bay Area Sea Lions will be a strong favorite in the Western conference despite the Colorado Alpines success last season with Eugene Huerta under center.

AFTER ANOTHER GM OFFERS ILLEGAL CONTRACTS TO UDFA'S, LEAGUE WARNS FUTURE VIOLATIONS WILL BE FINED!

In the wake of yet another team offering a UDFA player a contract that would be illegal in year two due to the salary being below the veteran minimum, the pro football agents union has threatened a labor strike if further illegal contracts are offered promoting the HIFL to announce that any future illegal contract offers will be met with a $2MM bonus pool fine and a halt to all UFA activities for that team until the "free for all" period.

PFL STEAL ANOTHER FROM HIFL AS CALGARY SNIPE WINNIPEG'S TONY KELLOG!

The PFL has gone from civil to hostile in a short period of time as the league continues to aggressively pursue HIFL talent for the rival league.

Today the Calgary Cougars president Jerry Lionhart of JerryCo. announced that the team had agreed to a 3 year deal with Winnipeg Arctic Foxes RB Tony Kellog.

The deal comes as a surprise to many, including Lionhart who said the idea was sparked when GM Cory of the Arctic Foxes reached out to him exploring a possible inter-league trade.

"That big stupid idiot GM Cory called me and said he wanted to trade Tony if we wanted him, he hyped him up enough that I said... YES!... Then I thought about it and said WHOA why don't I just talk him into leaving the HIFL and signing for us! ...SO I DID!   GM CORY.... YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!!!" Lionhart said during the press conference.

Clearly the PFL is not a friend to the HIFL and with the recent development that the league would not enforce a hard salary cap, the PFL franchises have a new stockpile of cash to spend as long as the team's owners are willing to spend and so far, many of them are ready to buy.buy.buy!

The HIFL is said to be furious with the poaching, but there is little that they can do about it.

BREAKING NEWS:  GAGA ROCKERFELLER ANNOUNCES INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR ELIAS IBRAHIMOVIC AS NEWEST ADDITION TO NY GUARDIANS ROSTER, STUNNING REDDICK LEWIS AND ATLANTA UNDERGROUND!

NEW YORK -- As the war of '25 rages on between the PFL and HIFL the New York Guardians have made a splash by stealing away the starting quarterback from the Atlanta Underground by acquiring a multi-year commitment from former Swedish National Team Captain and Internationally known superstar Elias Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic, 32, spent the last 6 seasons playing in the HIFL after building an amazing resume on the international circuit with the Swedish National Team.    During his time in the HIFL, all but 6 of 74 career starts came with the Seattle Lumberjacks, Elias threw for 18,632 yards, 144 TDs, and 55 INTs with a 101.9 QB Rating while adding 2,156 yards and 30 rushing TDs. 

In the post-season Ibrahimovic struggled throwing more INTs (12) than TDs (8) across 4 starts tallying only one win, in 2022.

Now with the Guardians, Ibrahimovic looks to become a face of the league as the deep pockets of Gaga Rockerfeller will be paying Elias not only for his talents on the field but for his ability to bring in viewers, recruit players, and enhance the overall view of the league.   

When asked about the expectations and pressure being put on him, Ibrahimovic scoffed and said: "A Lion is not asked if it is hard to roar, nor do you interrupt him while he eats his meal.. I am the king of this jungle and any league that Elias Ibrahimovic plays in, is the best football league in the world."

The Atlanta Underground are now left scrambling for a signal caller after trading for Ibrahimovic earlier in the off-season and now watching several talented QBs sign with the PFL.
