Easter Sunday was always a concern, Fri/Sat would have been better from that standpoint but I understand why they went with it.

Add missed field goals to the list. The more reason to have more 4th down attempts
If it was, then nobody told the NBA and MLB that because I am seeing a full capacity crowd for Hawks vs. Heat and some really good crowds for a few of the baseball games today.
For the USFL not for either of them

Well, you figure that there's no home team playing in Birmingham today. Last night's crowd came out for the Stallions.

And unless you're Rob Lowe, you're not going to pay money to watch any old team in the league. That's why I've always found the bubble idea difficult to stomach.

Got it. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come because if it is, it's not good.

And we have a one score game after our first replay. Houston left the door open by not scoring before half.

Houston's just come apart, and of course a guy named Houston with the latest blow.

Are we sure these are the same Houston players that went into the locker room at halftime?

They accounted for this, although it's generally not a good idea for this to be a thing if they can't draw more than 1000 when Birmingham isn't playing.

Offenses have each had too many times out of sync, which is good for guys like Reggie Northrup, but not from a league standpoint

Liked seeing the new measurement, except 34 inches (almost a full yard) would mean that Patterson barely got anything. More like a foot

Could Michigan somehow win this if they get out of their own way?
