In this episode, Gene challenges the thought of Football in the Spring.
While most media members ignored it or tried to paint a narrative that nobody was paying attention, the USFL just completed their first season. That culminated over July 4th weekend when the Birmingham Stallions defeated the Philadelphia Stars in the USFL Championship held in Canton Ohio. Fox Sports president Eric Shanks did not allow any speculation to begin when he announced last week that the USFL will return next season. The ratings have been steady throughout the season. Games averaged over a million viewers on Fox and NBC. Even when you add in the cable network games on USA Network and FS1 the averages were still 715,000. Those numbers were better than the NHL, Premier League and MLS in this country. All three of those entities people will argue with you that there is an appetite for those sports but not for Spring football.

When I first read the headline that the head volleyball coach at Grambling dismissed the entire volleyball team, I thought it was a joke or that there was something more to the story that I was missing. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the new coach did in fact cut every young lady off her team. My first reaction was, Damn! That’s cold-blooded!” The other people I talk to regularly all felt that this coach was wrong for what she was doing. I began to feel a weird duality at the time.
We talk about this and other sports topics of the week.

Super Bowl LVI took on an HBCU feel this season. Congratulations to the LA Rams and all of their mercenary players who were able to turn this team into a winner. It has been said that the Rams have justified moving back to LA because of the success they had. The truth is that they had the same type of success in St. Louis. Ultimately this was a money play and fortunately for them, it worked.
