Why won't NFL films do a segment on the USFL like they did with the WFL? I find that very very curious....

[thecelebratedmisterk]

@scrambang Except they did, years ago. They did a whole half-hour show on it. How curious do you find that?

[scrambang]

@thecelebratedmisterk I have no recollection of NFL Films doing a USFL show, what year did they do one?

[thecelebratedmisterk]

@scrambang My bad, I TOTALLY read that wrong. They did the WFL one in 2001ish. But the thing is...NFL Films would have to actually have film to do a show on the USFL. At the start of the WFL "Lost Treasures" episode, Sabol said they didn't do one before that because they didn't have film until they found some. NFL Films isn't going to use ABC/ESPN tape to do an NFL Films show.

@thecelebratedmisterk You idiot the WFL and USFL both folded. The Sharks owner, along with other owners  in the WFL, didnt have money to even run the Franchises, and the USFL folded all together. And as far as the Jags, far from failer. 17 years old, 6 playoffs, divison champs twice, afc champs twice. Doesnt sound like failure to me. It kills me how you uneducated idiots always try to FIND something negative to say about Jacksonville. So actually YOU failed asshole!

[thecelebratedmisterk]

@Kuteboi69 And they all failed.

@thecelebratedmisterk Wish you had your facts right. The Jags had an attendance problem one year. Im a Jags fan and stay in Jacksonville. And also a season ticket holder. Outside of 2009 our attendance has never been below 62,000. I wish people spoke on facts and not on perception. Just like its always been perceived that Jacksonville is not an football city, but weve had a team in in every football league that existed (including the Jacksonville Bulls of the USFL)

Thanks for posting this. I remember the WFL.

We don't need the WFL or USFL to come back, but we do need an developmental league for the NFL. I thought it would be the UFL, but I guess not.

I wish we had a second major pro football league again. I wish the UFL could be more involved with the tv networks.
