The USFL Thread aka: It's a boring news night

[Cheesedog]

The game wasn't as bad as I was expecting to be honest.. Wasn't any worse than watching Jets, Jags, or Giants play. I liked the different camera angles, helmet cam etc....

Not sure they'll make it but I didn't mind spending time watching.

The game was good as long as they kept running most of the time. Once the QB's got involved late in having to throw downfield wow, but maybe as the season goes and they get more used to each other.

I'm not naive enough to think this will be great football but it distracted me for a little while when nothing else was on.

It fills a void both for the rabid FB fan and provides backside talent to the NFL/CFL. I enjoyed it. I hope it lasts 2-3 seasons and gains a niche.

I thought it was okay as well. It's a good thing to give some guys another shot and maybe find a few that the NFL missed. I'll watch as I am not into baseball.

It’s going to last 3 years at least. Fox Sports has an ownership stake and invested $150m over a 3 year period. It’s basically made for TV football

It was better than I expected, and the special stuff like the drones and helmet cams, plus sideline reporters (Huard) talking to players/coaches during the game made it a unique experience.

If Fox dumped that much into it I can see it being on TV that long though if the ratings suck does the games get moved to a weeknight?

Doubtful they move it to weeknight and disrupt their prime programming

Just have to wonder how long the novelty lasts.
