Click on the spoiler to see a sneak peek of a bronze statue that will be unveiled at the foot of these stairs outside of Hampden Park's main entrance (above). Hampden, normally a soccer venue IOTL, has become the full time home to the Claymores in recent years after splitting time with Murrayfield, a rugby venue in Edinburgh.

Jackass Number Two

Released by United Artists. Produced by MTV Films and Dickhouse Productions.
This installment will likely be Bam Margera's last Jackass appearance for a while due to his excessive drinking causing a rift within the group.

Epic Movie
Released by Miramax Films. Produced by Seltzerberg Productions.
This is one of Miramax 2.0's first releases since former President Harvey Weinstein resigned from the White House and was welcomed back by Miramax owner Phil Anschutz.
 
@WB18

As a side note, with Kino Veterans Stadium in Tucson being an outdoor venue, the Arizona Wranglers have received special permission from the WLAF play their home games exclusively at night to avoid the hottest parts of the daytime, especially in May and June. That pretty much guarantees the Wranglers an opportunity to build a nationwide fanbase in the US with home games played in prime time.

Epic Movie
Released by Miramax Films. Produced by Seltzerberg Productions.
This is one of Miramax 2.0's first releases since former President Harvey Weinstein resigned from the White House and was welcomed back by Miramax owner Phil Anschutz.​
Because of course it is. Harvey Weinstein coming back to Miramax, with Phil Anschutz owning the company, Dan Schneider running the TV branch, and Seltzer/Friedberg having a partnership with them.

Something tells me that Ray Spum is going to be the head of Miramax Animation if he hears about this, I just know he will.
 
To @OldNavy1988, look forward to Miramax 2.0 to co-release films with Turner during 2007 and 2008 and heading a new deal with Joss Whedon, who has been fired from Buffy nearly a decade ago for an overall film and television production deal. Films heading for February 2007 include New Line's Hannibal Rising, Peacock Releasing/DreamWorks' Norbit, Paramount's Music and Lyrics, 20th Century-Fox's Ghost Rider, New Line's The Number 23 and Luxor Pictures' Reno 911!: Miami.

WLAF's scheduling format as of 2007.

The 30 teams of the WLAF are divided as follows:
Pacific ConferenceAtlantic ConferenceEuropean Conference
Coastal DivisionSeaboard DivisionCapitol Division
Los Angeles Avengers
Oakland Condors
Portland Breakers
Spokane Steelheads
Vancouver Orcas
Baltimore Ravens
Hartford Knights
Jacksonville Tomcats
Orlando Thunder
Philadelphia Stars
Barcelona Dragons
London Monarchs
Paris Phantoms
Rome Centurions
Scottish Claymores
Frontier DivisionCentral DivisionMetropolitan Division
Arizona Wranglers

Oklahoma Outlaws
Rocky Mountain Extreme
San Antonio Texans
Birmingham Maulers
Chicago Blitz
Kentucky Stingers
Memphis Pharaohs
Toronto Huskies
Amsterdam Admirals
Berlin Ogres
Frankfurt Galaxy
Rhein Fire
Stockholm Kraken

Each team plays the following over the course of the regular season...
Eight games within the division (4 home, 4 away)
Four games against the opposite divison in the same conference except for one based on standings (Using the chart above as an example, the Wranglers would face all Coastal division opponents except the Orcas)
- 1st place: 1/2/3/4
- 2nd place: 1/2/3/5
- 3rd place: 1/2/4/5
- 4th place: 1/3/4/5
- 5th place: 2/3/4/5
Four interconference games against each team who finished in the same place in their respective division (Using the chart above as an example, the Admirals would face the Avengers, Wranglers, Maulers and Ravens)

Playoffs
The WLAF's playoff format is skewed to guarantee a World Bowl between a European and North American team.
The European Conference's playoff seeding consists of Metro and Capitol division winners plus five wild cards.
For the Pacific and Atlantic Conferences, seeding consists of division winners for the Central, Seaboard, Coastal and Frontier divisions, plus three wild cards spread out across those four divisions based on regular season records.

Only the #1 seed in the European Conference gets a first round bye. The Pacific and Atlantic conferences are grouped together as a defacto "North American" conference and only the team with the highest win total from that bunch gets the #1 seed.

Wild Card or Quarterfinal Round
#7 at #2 seed
#5 at #4 seed
#6 at #6 seed

Semifinal or Divisional Round
Second Lowest Remaining Seed at Second Highest Remaining Seed
Lowest Remaining Seed at #1 Seed

Conference Championships
Lowest Remaining Conference Seed at Highest Remaining Conference Seed

World Bowl
European Champion vs. North American Champion

NOTE: The regular season and playoff formats can be modified if necessary.

- ITTL, the Chargers previoulsy won a ring in 1980-81 under head coach Don Coryell.
- In 2005, the Saints looked like they would be forced to permanently leave New Orleans. This year, the Saints would enjoy one of the biggest one year turnarounds in NFL history.
- After the game was over, NFL Films approached Gus St. Pierre, who was in attendance, about narrating the Saints' highlight reel.
- The morning after the game, Junior Seau announced his retirement after 17 seasons (Chargers 1990-94; Rams 1995-2005; Chargers again in 2006).​

Saints win early ITTL, eh? Hats off, no team deserves it more than you after what your city went through less than 20 months earlier. Now it’s time for the Cards to break through!
 
Nice work! But Luxor Pictures' 300 is on the way and the film success led Luxor to greenlit Sin City 2. 20th Century-Fox would release Ghost Rider, a new Marvel film this month.
