Yes the UFL will be having their draft Wednesday which happens to fall on my birthday this year. I'll have to pop open a Brewski for this honor mid-week even though the Doc's against it. Denny Green's team moves from San Francisco to Sacramento and is renamed the Mountain Lions. Denny re-Adopts his "son" Daunte Culpepper for the second time. Gruden's brother Jay will coach the Florida Tuskers, New York/Jersey moves to Hartford, Conn and Omaha builds a new stadium for their UFL franchise. Their are many untaken fantastic college kids left from the NFL draft. Can't wait to see this. Season opens mid-Sept.:duckhunt:

Thanks in this update, 1CC. I will be watching with interest, myself. I have seen these secondary leagues come and go but most of it has been interesting. The USFL was particularly interesting. The Tampa Bay Bandits was a great franchise and supplied me with plenty of good football entertainment.

Ahh, the good old USFL! I've got a bunch of VHS tapes of USFL. I knew the TB Bandits for sure. Wasn't that where Steve Young started?
