It's been announced that the USFL will be coming back next season as a spring league to compete with the XFL, which is also returning after a one-year hiatus. Games will be played on Fox, which has also been carrying the developmental Spring League. It'll be an eight-team league, but they haven't announced where the teams will be. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/usfl-set-to-return-in-... /

I got to see a couple Washington Federals games back in the '80s because I worked with someone who was a minority owner in the team and she gave me free tix. They had Craig James and a few others. It wasn't bad football; it was just a bad team. I think their primary owner called them a bunch of untrained gerbils. The league had attendance issues playing in 90-degree weather in June. The Philly franchise used to hand out tix to homeless people around the stadium. The league folded when the NJ franchise was sold to some narcissistic sociopath faux billionaire real estate guy from NY who put his name on all his properties and he talked the league into moving to the fall to compete with the NFL, with the hopes of a merger. Instead, the USFL had to file an antitrust suit against the NFL. They won, but only got $1 in damages, which was trebled to $3. He later used the same business acumen at an Atlantic City casino.
We will get by.
We will get by.
We will get by.
We will survive.

I take great pride in doing my part in above-mentioned Atlantic City casino going belly up when I took the casino for a couple hundred at the blackjack table about 25 years ago.

If we weren't crazy we'd all be Craig James?

My buddy Al Patterson and I were the 2 in the crowd (?) of 7002 at Soldier Field to watch the Chicago Blitz play the Denver Gold. Still have the program somewhere and gained an interesting story about Al, his wife Susie, and Virgil Livers.

I think far too many people are only familiar with him because of Dave Chappelle.
