I would rather watch a curling match than watch the USFL.  It's
almost like watching the American League play baseball.  There is
nothing better than watching National League baseball.  Look how
many players from the National League can't cut it any more and go
over to the American League.

Anyway, back to USFL.  It is a money-making scheme that won't last
5 years.  Just like now I see they are going to take another shot
at pro women's basketball.  There are some great women players,
but they just can't compete with the NBA's stranglehold on
basketball.
