I will say the quality of commercial sponsors between the USFL and XFL is night and day. XFL had Geico, progressive, and Bud light. In this USFL game I've seen edible arrangements multiple times and a shady time share commercial. Maybe those $40k 30 second spots scared advertisers away
Yeah Birmingham's the pro football capital of the world
I'm getting vibes of the UFL ads with Andre Dixon checking his laptop like it was everyone with their phone five years later.
This has just been totally underwhelming, and with the Bucks blowing out the Bulls this would have been a good time to have a pair of offensively-capable teams. What a completely bad last six days.
I tried to convince somebody a TSL-redux just wouldn't work, they didn't listen--and PMc with a USFL dig to kick off Smackdown (I'm out west), he ain't wrong.

The Stallions game tomorrow feels like a pretty big deal. If the crowd comes back out, maybe they can limp through the season with three of their limbs tied behind their back. If they don't, feels like this whole thing is going to spiral.

Ratings are not going to better next week going up against the NFL Draft. Yes, there will probably be a game or two on Saturday, which is Day 3 of the Draft, but the draft does great ratings on all three days anyways.

It's a FOX doubleheader, with the first game (TB/Hou) past the middle of day 3 followed by the second one (NO/Bham) an hour later. Even better NBC takes the weekend off for the simulcast of their MLB Peacock debut Sunday.

Good luck with that.
People still watch Day 3 of the NFL Draft.
Yes but its nothing like day 1 or 2. And the USFL games are at 4pm and 8pm - it's not an issue for the USFL and it just raises interest in FB.
