  1. Here's how to do overtime. Best of 3 2pt conversions. https://www.theusfl.com/watch/play-5aff55c64000d96
  2. This guy will be kicking in the NFL soon. No wind.
  3. You could see Allen had the "It Factor" despite all the experts clucking about completion percentage. McBeane had the air of quiet competence. And our owners? I will love Terry forever for saving the Bills, and that's not an exaggeration. But I think he's smart enough to not mess up a good thing. Same with the Sabres, finally.
  4. I don't agree. There might be some competition for players, but the leagues will only overlap slightly. People who want to watch football will watch whatever's on. This can't happen because the NFL doesn't want the potential liability for CTE in these leagues. Besides they already are farm teams for the NFL. A handful of USFL players will get signed to practice squads. Maybe one or two will make an active roster.
  5. We'll just have to disagree. I think the USFL will endure. Will the XFL? We'll see.
  6. The purpose of the USFL is to provide Fox and NBC programming during the spring/summer lull. You cite that other leagues were doing better than the USFL. That is not true. After the initial curiosity viewing both the XFL and USFL settled in around the 1 million viewers per game mark. You also forgot, or do not know, that the USFL is owned by Fox and NBC. So I seriously doubt these networks went into this venture unaware of the viewership potential. You are correct that it's entirely likely that Phase 2 of the USFL, moving the teams to their home cities, may not happen. I don't think it would be worth the added expense. The single hub city concept works fine, other than the lack of fans when the home Stallions aren't playing. None of this has stopped ESPN/ABC from signing on to the XFL's return next spring. The XFL plans to begin play earlier, with teams in home cities, right after the Super Bowl. So there will be two spring leagues in 2023, though not playing head to head, as the USFL doesn't begin until April.
  7. You fail to compare how the USFL does in its time slot against the competition. This past Saturday night Michigan-Birmingham game did 1.2M viewers, 300K fewer than NHL hockey but way more than NASCAR and Boxing. The evening was led by NBA playoffs and the Preakness. Look for yourself: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/skedball-weekly-sports-tv-ratings-5-16-5-22-2022.html The USFL is doing just fine. Right about where Fox and NBC expected.
  8. The best improvement of all.
  9. We finished 9th from the bottom. So our first 4 picks are #9, #16 (VGK pick from Eichel trade), and #28 (FLA pick from Sam Reinhart trade), and the 9th pick in the 2nd round.
  10. One is definitely me denying it was me smoking a joint in Johnson Park across from Hutch Tech.
  11. And #41 (The Sabres pick in the 2nd rd.) So 4 picks in the top 41.
  12. Fox seems to do that. NBC doesn't. And I lost this parlay on the last game. NJ win but not by 7. 🤬
  13. This weekend had three lopsided matchups. So I made a parlay bet for all the favorites to cover. +583.
  14. I don't think the Bills would ever purge their season ticket rolls. Especially long time members. Things are great now but if the team ever falls back to earth, they will need every STM'er they can get, especially with PSLs.
  15. How many of those STH'ers were there during the playoff drought?
  16. Let's not overlook the Bills get a significant cut from NFL TicketEchange sales.
  17. The talk of the NBA now is where will Giannis play next. Anytime someone good is in a minor market, all they talk about is which elite franchise will get them.
  18. Taking some shots at the Bills.
  19. field goal holder.
  20. Watch how the Sabres are getting built. Same formula. High character players top to bottom. Play to their strengths instead of fitting into systems. Mistakes are learning moments.
