One classy individual. Good job by the USFL in having him associated with your league. Great player in Canada and the NFL.

Garcia’s first order of business? Selecting the colors and style for each of the team’s uniforms. Rumor has it that pastels and earth tones will be high on the list – however, tassles, glitter and sparkles won’t be counted out.

Canada loved Garcia when playing in Calgary and then to the NFL. Classy guy! Good addition to the USFL.

Apparently all franchises will be located in cities that do not have a NFL or MLB franchise to compete with. They are looking at Memphis, Salt Lake City, Austin, San Antonio, Columbus, Raleigh, Oklahoma City, and Portland

So happy to see spring football. Any word as to whether the USFL will allow players to buyout of contracts and join NFL teams at the conclusion of their season?

A second league can make it, it just has to stop making the stupid mistakes others have.

-Don’t try and compete with the NFL. Don’t play your games at the same time, don’t go after their players.

-Allow the NFL to use you as a resource for player and even coaching development. Show value to them, so they have an interest in keeping you around.

-Don’t wear uniforms that look like rejected rollerball costumes.

-Move the Stars back to Philadelphia. They never should have moved to Baltimore in the first place.

He will be a trendsetter for the entire gay community looking to make a mark as football executives. Maybe he can convince Tim Tebow to come play for them.

This guy went 9-7 as the Bucs QB in his last season as a starter. Interesting how he’s drawn no interest since.

If the USFL tries to create an “off-season” league it is very possible it can do well. If they try to compete head-to-head again, thy will fail.

I like that there will be another league…I hate the 7 months when there is no football!

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Everyone has to settle down. This USFL will be much different than the last. All coaches and players will essentially be handpicked by the nfl. This isnt going to be a “competitor.” For all purposes, this will basically be a minor league for the NFL.

First order of business for Mr. Garcia…….block T.O.’s phone number from all league personnel.

I’ve always felt competing pro leagues were doomed to die with the NFL in place, but if the USFL has real kickoffs and allows real hits (even on the QB!), then this might be the time launch it.

Just make sure you get a lawyer to draw up an iron-tight hold-harmless contract for anyone who signs and print “Warning: Playing football can lead to physical injury, concussions, brain damage, and even death” on the side of the helmet.

You know, just in case the players didn’t know that already.

If they are bringing back the USFL, are the Breakers going to play in Boston, New Orleans, or Portland?
