Thriftygamer83 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Who else is getting pumped up for the USFL franchise coming back? I know the thirteen seconds hurt, along with the headset malfunctions, eye gouging, punching, kicking, and holding. But, having some lift up and bump for another team looks promising. I didn't know where to put this for the life of me. As a former fan of the Atlanta Legends I'm still a little hurt over how the AAF went down when Doug Whaley didn't want to pull the trigger on an XFL merger. Makes me wonder if they'll pull a merger and how much stronger the viewing base could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I can't say I'm pumped, but I'll probably watch as a casual fan, just to get a little football fix during the off-season. I haven't, and probably won't, pick a favorite team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stars were the only other football team I ever became a fan of. They were good. I think the fact Fox Sports owns them they may stick around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I kept forgetting to watch the last time they tried this... so not very excited I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Like the CFL, I know they are there, but mostly don't watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I was going to go to one of their games ( I live 20 minutes from MetLife) but all of the games are being played in Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Couldn't they have gone for a less generic name...something like the Washington Commanders or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I would probably get back into college football long before I would get into the USFL, or CFL, or any other pro league not named NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give the USFL a chance again but by spring time I am in Yankees mode along with the NHL playoffs. Unfortunately for me my Islanders are in the toilet.

PromoTheRobot Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Spring ball is what it is. I'd rather watch that than baseball. It's interesting how the USFL will be late spring/early summer while the XFL, if they get off the ground, will start right after the Super Bowl. Non stop football.
