Raise your hand if you knew the USFL starts in 2 weeks

...my hand is not raised.

Just saw a clip of an old play on ESPN w/Kugler doing the play by play...which is another thing I didn't know.

The what? There’s another league?

Commercial I saw said it's "Real" football. Good thing they cleared that up.

Leave politics out of this!!!

Yep, More football is always better than less football.

Only because of the Adrian Martinez factor lol

Had no idea. I barely had time to watch any NFL or college football. Will not watch. Hoping once my kids are a bit older they start to like football, and I can watch more. Especially college.

I draw the line though for the Huskers. I watch it live. Pretty much no exceptions.

One more "last great adventure" year for the 2022 USFL coach of the year Mike Riley.

Only because I happen to know someone who's playing. Long snapper who made it to the final cut with the LA Chargers, but didn't make the team. Looking for another opportunity, and I hope he gets it.

I probably won't watch, though. Once the Final Four is over, it's baseball season for me, with maybe a few NHL playoff games here and there.

They need to bring back NFL Europe while they are at it.

There’s talk of seven days a week NFL. Too much IMO.

Got to admit I'm enjoying XFL with my kids. I'm in a pool with some buddies. Why I'm in it I don't know but my kids are making me watch everytime St Louis is on.

Don’t forget about the World Football League.

I remember the opening game of the XFL in 2001. Vince McMahon made a big spectacle of it. Instead of a kick off, possession was determined by a scramble for the ball. Husker Jamel Williams recovered the ball. I was excited to sit down and watch February football. I think I watched one quarter and turned it off.

To busy watching LFL

 

[Wyldcard]

And....Adrian Martinez has been named starting QB for Mike Riley's New Jersey Generals.

 

[HuskerOH]

I have been watching the XFL. Beats the crap out of anything else on the television screen. Will probably watch some USFL as well. In time the 2 leagues will merge and be the minor league for the politically charged NFL

Yeah as much as I love football, every night is too much. NFL is just getting too greedy with this idea. Imagine a scenario where a team has to play on back to back days due to poor scheduling. Another idea that totally ignores player safety for more money.
