It makes me laugh hearing Trump talk about always being around things that are first clash . I would love to have that $3 check the NFL wrote to the USFL. Now that would be an interesting piece of memorabilia.
I missed the show last night due to other commitments. Did they discuss the whereabouts of the $3 check? ESPN.com did a series on the USFL a few years ago and it was in the desk drawer of one of the Memphis Showboats officials (I think?) who kept it as a souvenier.

Didn't they used to play on nights other than just Monday?
Bob Cook said:CitizenTino said:A couple questions from somebody not old enough to remember the USFL:
1. If Trump was throwing money around and bringing in superstar players, why were his teams nowhere to be found in the championship game?
Apparently Dan Snyder learned nothing from the Donald's failures.
Trump didn't give a ship about a championship team. He didn't give a ship about the USFL. All he gave a ship about is that signing Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie made him famous.
