USFL and XFL merge

They'll be taking the mediocre guys from that pool of talent.

 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

A time to play football, and a time for basketball, hockey and spring training; neither the twain shall meet.

 

Whoops!! Here we go again!!

The FOX play by play guy opens the broadcast of the St. Louis BattleHawks at Michigan Panthers opening game of the UFL by saying, "there are no kickoffs in the UFL."

Upon which St. Louis lines up and kicks off to Michigan.

The camera isn't panning up into the stands very much, but it looks like they might have 10,000 butts in the seats at Ford Field.

 

And that's why they're the Michigan Panthers?

 

They’re not mediocre. They are plenty of Power 5 All-Conference guys that don’t hack it in the NFL.

The talent will be below the national title game, maybe below the iron bowl, it will be better than the average September-October Saturday P5 game

 

Panthers win on a league record 64-yard
FG.

 

Which is different from the other team in town, which loses on a league-record FG every 50 years or so.

 

First weekend of a new league. Isn’t every best a league record?

 

If they take the pads off and play Aussie rules, I might care.

 

yep

 

I caught a few minutes of the game and that’s a good summation. Descent players, not quite NFL caliber, but an entertaining watch.

 

I always thought "neither the twain shall meet" was Shakespeare but instead it's Kipling.
