The Ultimate Fantasy Football League (UFFL) is a proposed reality show where celebrities and athletes form fantasy football teams. Viewers can become virtual co-owners of the celebrity teams and help manage rosters. Each week, the celebrity owners would discuss their teams' performances on a live TV show, debating moves and trash talking. Throughout the NFL season and playoffs, the UFFL would crown a champion celebrity owner and co-owner. The format could be replicated for other sports leagues internationally.
