“I think most football fans would agree with me that Colin is owed at least this much!”

Colin and his supporters believe they are OWED stuff.
That pretty much sums up their whole problem.

At least here in The Alamo City, our “GUNSLINGERS” are STILL remembered with AFFECTION.
(I was a fan & was SAD when the USFL died, as OUR team was always profitable.)

I keep hoping that SA will get a NFL team, too. = I believe that SA is the LARGEST US city that has NO NFL team. - We fanatic FB fans all hoped that the Chargers would move here.

I don't think summer football will ever catch on. It's a fall game. People associate football with the crisp, cool days of autumn.

Also, it's a bit cruel to put players out in 90 degree heat in full padding.

It would be like having a baseball league in winter.

the XFL will re-start in 2020
The original XFL bragged that it would not have sissy rules. And all they did was to eliminate the fair catch.

I thought they were going to go back to 1950 NFL rules - in which you not only had to get a runner’s knee down, you had to keep him from crawling!

. . . and there was extracurricular action if you incautiously ran out of bounds into the other team’s bench area.
