The United States Football League was the most popular spring league in football, emerging as a viable competitor to the NFL in the early to mid-1980s. Nearly 40 years later, the USFL is planning to make a major comeback.

The USFL announced its re-emergence Thursday with a return in the spring of 2022. The league plans a minimum of eight teams for its first season and will retain rights to key original team names -- like the New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars. Memphis Showboats and Los Angeles Express.

More information on the USFL, including cities, teams, head coaches, and game schedules, will be announced at a later date. Fox Sports will serve as the broadcast partner for the league.

Wow! I'm all for it...the more football the better. I wonder if they are going to be able to go after NFL free agents?

And yet we're still supposed to be afraid of a virus with a 99% survival rate, go figure. Is it okay if all the players haven't had their cooties shot yet? Or as usual are the rules not applying to those who promote the "proper" agendas?

Trump is staying out of it, right? He was a huge problem with the first one going tits up. This is not political, just a fact, he needs to stay away and let this league slowly build up.
