Just not super interested. It seems like an inferior league to the XFL. IMO, they should just merge and expand instead of trying to compete.

It does fill some need for locals who are desperate for any football, but it's not in enough areas to really survive IMO.

Wait, did I just see 40oz's being used to celebrate the USFL championship?

Yup, they used 40oz beer to celebrate. The USFL couldn't afford champagne, so they settled on the "champagne of beer"

Suit on this pic would have made it many times more badass
instead they have colors that remind me of Lions mixed with Central Michigan

yessir

good call

I like these leagues as there is a much needed place for them. NFL needs a developmental league. We saw a lot of guys do well with NFL Europe, among them SB QBs like Kurt Warner, Brad Johnson, and Jake Delhomme. We have already seen guys like Kevonte Turpin and Brandon Aubrey go to the NFL from these formats.

I've been keeping an eye on the new USFL too. It's interesting to see how it's evolving in its second year with the four hub cities. I agree, the crowd size is something to note, especially when comparing it to the XFL's recent season. It'll be intriguing to see how both leagues continue to develop and compete for viewership. What are your thoughts on the games so far?

Thank you
