It takes all of the strategy of coffin corner kicks and putting your defence back out there if you don&#8217;t make it. Those things are the core pillars of football, and those decisions are changing all of that. I&#8217;ve said it many times: there&#8217;s been so many different spring leagues and winter leagues and whatever they are that start and die down there quite quickly. I doubt that the UFL is going to last very long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can hear the entire conversation at <a href=\"https:\/\/p.ftur.io\/ckrm\/16301\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SportsCage.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AND that\u2019s between the lines for Sheppard Realty in Regina.
