Anyone watching USFL?

A league where every game is played in the state of Alabama is just not appealing to me

No

The games have been competitive, at least.

Teams are going to have to play in their home cities to build fanbases, though.

I'm hoping the USFL survives.

I've watched a fair bit of it. It's odd that they aren't playing the games at the same air time each week.

the games have been good and mostly entertaining

the problem i have with it is they treat it as a glorified practice where the other team isnt the enemy

hell the last breakers game, a few seconds left in first half and only one time out for the other team, so the breakers coach called a time out to give the other team a chance to score before the half, and they did. it never should have gone to overtime at all if they played to win and not helped the other team score just to keep the game exciting

there were no injured breakers players on the field, and defense was rested and fresh, so there was no reason for a time out, and had breakers not called that time out, the other team was still 40 yards away and would have been forced to call their last time out with only 1 or 2 seconds left in the game for one final play.

is far to buddy buddy with plyers swapping teams left and right and not playing with a killer instinct. its like there are no teams, just a practice game with guys wearing different jerseys.

hopefully next year that changes

I'd be more interested if not every game was in Birmingham.

When backwards hat Jeff Fisher is on

I’ve watched maybe 30 minutes of USFL, my sports viewing this spring has been almost exclusively soccer since it is far easier to watch via streaming and is a better product.

It's pulling in better TV ratings than MLS and MLB on Sat and Sun nights, so this league will have a decent run.

It will get more competitive when the coaching staffs are balanced. NJ and Birmingham beat everyone even when they have off days or turnovers or injury issues because the other teams are a mess. New Orleans/Philly aren't bad. Birmingham lost 3-4n LB and their top RB (Replaced him with Bo Scarborogh though) and no one took advantage. NJ's starting QB went out and their super slow QB hasn't been attacked.
