In reality it's the "Fall Experimental Football League," an attempt at a feeder system for the NFL that is so financially strapped they had to cancel their championship game last year in what was their inaugural season.

Against some other team called the Florida Blacktips, a squad with no set roster or home stadium, and only two players with experience in the NFL, Freeman went 9-of-16 through the air for 32 yards, a touchdown(!), a pick, and five fumbles. Afterward he declined to talk to reporters who were there for some reason.
