USFL impressions

[don]

The game that was to be played in Pittsburgh Sunday was cancelled becauseof weather

[PhantomOnTour]

Seems like all the games are being played in Birmingham (Legion Field?)

At any rate, the football is horrible, and so is the announcing.
No way this league lasts beyond a year or two unless it is subsidized by the NFL as a sort of D League.

Tried watching last night and tuned out after a few possessions.

Rural high school football in South Dakota puts more fans in the stands than this product does.

True, but what else is there to do in South Dakota?

Googled it and yep-he sure did. Anyone else remember that?

I remembered that. and also Doug Flutie. A co-worker friend of mine used to take his family vacations at Ocean City, Md. or NJ every year at the same time. Doug Flutie and his brother's family used to take their vac. at the same time. My friend and his brother were good h.s. basketball players and they got into an annual pickup basketball game with the Fluties every year and became friendly. This was near the end of Doug's NFL career and always right before training camp. He said Doug was easily the best athlete on the court and could dunk the ball.

All games on the same field? What is it going to look like afer a few weeks?

Also HOW are they going to garner fans in the cities where these teams are based, if the locals NEVER see them?

Imagine the NFL playing all its games in Dallas. Who would go to see Chicago play Detroit there?
