re. Rice, his partner DG did mention that Rice was organizing a football league:
Friday, December 03, 1999, 22:51 ET New spring football League planning first season The Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) -- Potential investors, including former NFL stars Eric Dickerson, Bo Jackson and Tony Dorsett, are discussing a pro football league with games to be played in March and June. The Spring Football League plans franchises in Houston; San Antonio; Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Miami; Birmingham, Ala.; Canton, Ohio; and Jackson, Miss., SFL board of governors chairman Mark Rice told Houston's KRIV-TV on Friday. "It seems like a really good opportunity and I might be involved with the Texas team," Dickerson said. Jackson said he was considering investing in the SFL. "I can't make any big announcements of whatever, but I'm very interested in this new league," he said. totalsports.net usafootball.com
DG 5/12/00 1:21 PM Why are you having such difficulties with such small amounts of money? You can fund a football league but getting Dave or me $5000 is impossible. It is driving us crazy and it is very difficult for us to understand. Things are tight man. I am putting everything I have into this and getting no money to go forward with.
