The Las Vegas Locos were the dominant team in the United Football League, an expensive minor league boondoggle that staggered through parts of four seasons from 2009 to 2012. The Locos were the only team to take part in all four campaigns and won the league championship in 2009 and 2010 with former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel at the helm.
The Sacramento Mountain Lions were a minor league football outfit that played parts of three seasons from 2010 to 2012. The Lions were part of the United Football League, a spectacularly ill-conceived venture that reportedly burned through over $100 million in its first two seasons while staging just 32 games. Former Minnesota Vikings boss Dennis Green coached the Lions in 2010 and 2011 and brought along former Vikings Pro Bowl quarterback Daunte Culpepper for the 2010 campaign.
