The staff over at NMLF News thought it might be a good idea to have a running Q and A with Commissioner Kimey, with the thought that this might turn into an ongoing cyber segment. So, here are a few commonly asked questions about the NMLF:
Q: Why is the league so strict on uniform policy?
Commissioner Kimey: First and foremost, uniformity is crucial to game presentation. Especially to those seeing our product for the first time. Potential sponsors, fans, as well as teams targeted for future expansion, need to see that our league is truly a higher level. Non matching helmets, face masks and socks may seem like a small thing, but they reflect on the league as a whole.
Q: What about the NFL style numbering policy?
Commissioner Kimey: Much like the NFL, this is done to aid the broadcasting of NMLF games.
Q: Will Deep End Sports Productions handle NMLF broadcasts?
Commissioner Kimey: Yes, and as I understand it, they are looking for former players to fill sideline, pregame show and booth broadcasting positions. Those interested can e-mail me at commissioner.kimey@nmlf.org
Q: I noticed that Saturday Night Lights (heard Mondays at 9pm) will be the home of the NMLF coaches' shows. Is that radio show property of the NMLF?
Commissioner Kimey: No. Although we enjoy a good relationship with SNL, that program is dedicated to semi-pro and minor league football players and teams from any league. I've heard guests on that show from many different leagues and I anticipate that will continue, as the fan base of that show is growing quite rapidly.
Q: Will the Commish have a show on Saturday Night Lights?
Commissioner Kimey: No. Nothing that formal. I will, however, appear on the show whenever I'm asked, and I will also appear for various NMLF press releases and special announcements.
If you have a question to submit to NMLF Commissioner J.C. Kimey, you can do so at the above mentioned e-mail address.

Hey Commish,
Do you think we could get something in the works with the TUFL on having the champs of the TUFL vs. the NMLF champs for a "Texas Bowl"? Just a thought! Also, Great job on the show Monday night. Glad to have you representing the NMLF.
also does anyone have the websites for all the teams in the NMLF that have one up and running?
Thanks, driller11. In the NMLF, anything is possible. Also when NMLF.org re-launches, you'll have all of that info.
i missed the broadcast about the playoff format so can you post it on here please?
I LIKE WHERE THE LEAGUE IS HEADED. YOU ARE WORKING VERY HARD TO GIVE TEAMS A LEAGUE TO PLAY IN THAT IS VERY EXCITING FOR EVERYONE AND IT IS REFRESHING TO KNOW THAT WE DONT HAVE A BIAS COMMISSIONER AND ONE THAT HAS EVERY TEAMS INTEREST AT HEART. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR GUYS WHO MIGHT CAN MAKE IT TO THE PROS. WE KNOW YOU ONLY WANT THE BEST AROUND BUT MANY PLAYERS ARE VETERANS FROM OLD LEAGUES AND TEAMS AND AT THIS POINT MAYBE TOO OLD WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING TO THE NFL MAYBE OUT OF THE QUESTION. MANY GUYS WORK AND FOOTBALL IS A SPORT THAT THEY LOVE AND A WAY TO GET AWAY FROM THE STRESSES OF LIFE AND MANY ARE SATISFIED WITH THAT. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GUYS OR TEAMS WHO JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN PLAYING FOOTBALL AND NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL? IS THERE A PLACE FOR THEM IN THIS LEAGUE OR IS IT ALL ABOUT GETTING TO THE UPPER STAGES?
I know on the outlaws we have a good mix of older and younger guys and probably none of us will make it to the pros. but we are playing for fun and still want to win!
Dynamite: Our league is open to players playing for the love of the game. We know only a few will get looks from the NFL so that leaves many other players. I played until I was 37 and did not get a look from scouts after I turned 27, so I understand playing for the love of the game. Also, thank you for the kind words, and I hope to see you at one of our games.
Hey Commsh..... Going into the 2009 season I was wondering about Forfeits....it seem so many leagues there are teams that forfeit away games..... you spend all the time and money getting ready for Game day and the team does not show up... how will this be handled in NMLF
idk if this answers your question or not but the way our owner explained it to us is that if a team doesn't show up they have to pay i think he said 200 or 300 dollars.
I really Like The Idea about NMFL Champ Vs TUFL Champ.....I think That would make it more of a True Championship....
Phildog: WTXOutlaw is correct. The bond helps to offset any costs associated with teams backing out of games. If a team doesn't show up, the NMLF sends you a check to cover some of your costs, and the forfeiting team must replace the initial bond.
i have a question commish. Is there going to be an All-Star game at the end of the season?
Yes. An event of epic proportions.
cool. should be fun!!!!
