RODNEY!!!



[FRSFreeState]

NASL was a very entertaining League but wasn't run very well

[FrsBigeasy]

Why did USA drop Sports Coverage?

[terpis]

Winston Dubose!

I was a Tampa bay kid...the names Dubose and Wegerle take me back.

[mrjiveyjr]

That Miller Lite commercial was a classic!

[somnium79]

Iam a Montréal Impact fan in the USL. I dont understand why we dont do like in Europe with the soccer to make a Canadian and a USA Championship with 1st and 2sd divisions?

[rfleader06]

because its large an investment to make to get into the top league, only to get sent back.

the NASL is back though

[Weissmenchland]

I'm from Tulsa and I miss the Roughnecks.

[FCnewyorkESC]

did anyone besides me find that miller lite commercial in the 3rd minute as confusing as fuck all?

[lpoursoi]

that wasn't a commercial it was a short film!

[bricklayer243]

@FCnewyorkESC-- dude, that was everyone that had been in a Miller Lite commercial for years. Every joke was an inside joke. You had to be there.

[Fattaman]

NASL was the best league ever. MLS does not even compare. NALS was so hilariously American, unprofessional, and had a lot of even worse teams than MLS. xD

[seka1986]

@Fattaman Yes but even Neeskens and Cryuff were part of the American circus. I guess the Dutch don't mind being unprofessional and getting paid in US dollars, no class what so ever!

[Pedro4life09]

USA Network should go back to covering sports. i.e. NISL, MLS, USL, some U.S. national games and some Major League Baseball, some Minor league Baseball games even, or Arena Football.

[scafullking]

They should bring back the Roughnecks, at least in the USL.

[rfleader06]

they did.

[seanFarisishott]

[CampBreezyBeach]

How great was seeing Canada having almost half of the playoff spots?

[dalegrow]

USA Network was mostly a sports channel in the early 1980's. They covered NASL MISL NBA College Sports, Tuesday Night Fights, Pro Wrestling from the Capitol Center and MSG and other events. The non-sports programing was Night Flight, Pre School cartoons and the ENglish Channel

[USAGiant]

In other words USA Network was the TNT/TBS of it day covering as semi sports channel. to ESPN.

[bakerandbaker1]

Don't forget MLB.

[Haurko01]

In fact i wouldn't mind seeing either Wednesday Night MLS or MISL soccer on USA Network.

[Haurko01]

This was back when USA Network was covering sports we actually care about i.e. USA's Tuesday Night Fights.

[Pedro4life09]

i didnt know USA used to cover sports

[MRHIGUEROS]

Why did they convert to the MLS

[hugmaster4848]

lol, there's always a problem with the NJ turnpike.
