There's like 10 people at this game. Probably rain and Easter 

 

Those are two odd names.  Who are the other 8?

Paxton Lynch was a 1st rd NFL pick and he can't even play well enough for the USFL. Oy!

 

Any questions?

Somehow this game is boring and entertaining at the same time

Northrup is a spark.

I remember a lot of people here liking Lance Lenoir out of the draft.

... Good way to put it. Yet here I am watching with 2 minutes left

[LeGOATski]

Wow. Almost had it.

1 foot in but wouldn't have mattered

Alright that was a hell of a last play. Entertaining enough- I’d watch it again I guess

[Steptide]

Entertaining finish. These qbs are pretty mediocre at best though

Next game: 4pm on USA Network, you gluttons for punishment.

We're all Bills fans, after all.

This field is going to be shot playing 4 games a week on it

There's really nothing else on. If these games are good, or somehow become highly entertaining, they could see good ratings, but unfortunately these leagues never last

Oops. Because of the lightning delay, this Stars @ Breakers game will start at 5pm.

The Stars were my team in the old USFL.

Didn't they have a coach and GM that went to NFL?

USFL looks a lot like Law and Order: SVU.

Correct: HC Jim "Playoffs?" Mora of the Saints and Colts and the 20-year of the KC Chiefs GM Carl Peterson.

What a terrible decision to play every game in the same stadium---and in Birmingham Alabama of all places.  Those locals could drive down Route 20 to Tuscaloosa and watch far more future NFL players play Spring football.

 

Nothing drives TV ratings better than tuning in to the same empty stadium for every game every week!!

 

"The Rock" should focus back on oiling his way into those BabyGap T shirts between actions shots and run for the hills like Vince McMahon did before him...

That's the XFL this is the USFL.

A story perhaps apocryphal: at one of the AFL NY Titans early games there were so few fans that the players went into the stands to thank those attending.
