I live 20 minutes from MetLife so I would love to check out a Generals game assuming they will be playing at MetLife. Plus tailgating in the spring would be very nice from a weather standpoint.

PromoTheRobot Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 Each draft round is dedicated to a different position. QB is Rd.1. Quote
major Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 With baseball gone this season, I’m certain I’ll tune into USFL Quote
LeGOATski Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Gamblers unis are solid. Overall the designs are amateurish, but that was expected. If the league is successful, hopefully they clean em up with a more classic style. When it comes to uniforms, less is more. 1 Quote
Beast Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 I will be watching. Have to see the draft results and if I recognize any players before picking a team to root for. Quote

They should go with racing type uniforms with lots of sponsor patches and allow individual players to add their own sponsors as long as they are not competing against league sponsors and do not violate other standards (i.e. Bail Bondsman, Colorado Marijuana Dispensaries, etc). 1 1 Quote

The owners and players don't care about the fans but they do care about the money. No chance they throw away an entire season. Plus wasn't it 2 years ago they played a 60 game season because of Covid. So you know they will play to a reduced schedule. If they do have any chance of playing 162 they need to settle soon as time is running out. 1 Quote

If they're gonna tap into NFL piggy banks, then they're gonna be a developmental league. Getting the financial footing to compete with the NFL is gonna be a long hard road. But maybe this makes that goal a little easier to achieve. Quote

But I can't see two spring leagues surviving. Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 USFL Draft is tomorrow. Will be streamed over their social media platforms. Each round is for a position. (QB is rd1) There are 35 rounds Quote

Obviously they aren't picking players that are expecting to play in the NFL. But what if someone they pick gets drafted on Day 3 or signed as a UDFA? Are they going to have another draft to fill the holes? Or....Are they not drafting college players? Just players who didn't catch on in the NFL last year?

They have signed some college players I think. The only stipulation is that you must have graduated high school by 2020. All the players to be drafted have already signed their contracts with the league. Quote
reddogblitz Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I am an XFL Seattle Dragons season ticket holder. I'm bummed there will be no season this year. Starting in February right after the NFL ends is great for fans like myself experiencing football withdrawl. And its still cold like it should be for football. I wish the USFL started sooner. By April I'll be over it. That said, I think I'm going with the Birmingham Stallions. Last time they had the USFL my brother was driving to Florida or something and stopped in Birmingham for a game and brought me back a pennant. So I rooted for them. Joe Cribbs played for them. Also, I went to Birmingham a few times for bidness. Cool/fun town and the best BBQ I ever had (and I'm from Texas). Go Stallions. Edited February 22, 2022 by reddogblitz Quote
