Was a good idea to keep everything friendly with the NFL. The first time they kind of tried to be the anti-christ to the NFL. Now, players can go to NFL teams if offered contracts etc...

So the NFL will probably see it more as a developmental league. Especially since they even report the games on NFL.com...

Guess McMahon put up $500mil to make sure it makes it 3 seasons... This may actually work out this time. Sounds like the crowd enjoys it...

I have to say so far I am surprised that some of these rule changes seem kind of interesting. I think I enjoy the kick off and point after changes, as well as the shorter play clock.

Yeah..

Lookup when Hershel Walker began his career in Dallas then subtract about 3 years putting you where the USFL began play..

..or look up when he played for Trump as the owner of the New Jersey Generals.

That should give you a hint.

And Wikipedia should have it.

I know it probably won’t happen, but would it be interesting if Andrew Luck came out of retirement to play in his dad’s league? It has a shorter season and all that.

You have seen their salaries?

They pretty much all get paid the same... it comes out to about $55k for a 10 game season...

Luck is already rich...

Not much incentive if you're a multimillionaire.

On a side note... I make about 6x what these guys make, working from my house... But, I would give it up for that $55k a year lol. That would be so much more fun!

I can't imagine this game is going to bode well for the attendance of Tampa's first home game.

The winning team in each game also gets an extra $100,000, so about a $2,000/man victory bonus.
