ON THE CLOCK

Ex-Utah assistant coach Dennis Erickson has been hired to coach Salt Lake’s Alliance of American Football team, which begins play next year.

Calling itself “a dynamic bond between players, fans and the game,” the league plans to speed things up by having no kickoffs and no TV timeouts. The big selling point is that games will be 30 minutes shorter than an average NFL game.

Hmmm, shortening a 3-hour proceeding to 2 1/2 …

“Can we get in on that?” said Sleeping in Church Guy.

RUGBY RE-DO

Gloucester Rugby says anyone with a tattoo of its outdated logo can get inked with the new one, compliments of the club.
