The MLFB has been trying to launch their league since 2016. Due to some financial issues they were forced to continuously put off the launch. In 2022 they have announced the four teams, and cities. As well as their four head coaches. Does this spell a 2022 season?

Kurtis Hagen discusses his QB hierarchy ranked 16-9 in this penultimate episode of a four part mini-series. Join us as we discuss QB's #16 through 9.

Montreal made a series of trades and wound up selecting twice in the first 9 picks. Selecting two very prominent players. They also were able to select first overall in the Global Draft securing another big time play maker on defense. 

The Eagles at one point held five selections in the top 101 picks, by the end of the 2022 NFL Draft, they had only selected five players in total. Join me as we discuss how this happened, and why I still think the Eagles won the draft.

This is episode 3 of a 3 part miniseries. I have made a solid case for bringing a team to the USFL that represents Denver. Including putting forth potential ownership groups to explore. In year 3 we saw the Gold hire a new coach, install a new offense, and replace their starting quarterback in the first full offseason under their new owner. Mouse Davis ultimately would find success despite poor QB...

Episode 2 of my 3 part series making a case for the Denver Gold to return. In episode one, we saw a coach telling an owner how to act, only to get fired midseason. Paving the way for former #DenverBroncos QB Craig Morton to take over after beginning his stint as an offensive coordinator. We listened as the Gold went 7-11 and still averaged 42,000 fans every home game. In this episode we talk about...

Part 1 of a 3 part series discussing the success that the Denver Gold found in the original USFL, and the data suggesting that Denver could host another team with great success. Join me as I discuss year one of the Denver Gold. Including how they found an owner, their first head coach, and offensive coordinator coming from the Broncos, and ultimately how a cheap owner held the franchise back, but...

Talking about the Green Bay Packers targeting pro-bowl tight end Darren Waller from the Raiders. It is reported they tried to acquire him during the Davante Adams trade, but settled on draft pick compensation instead.  Patriots trade their 5th round pick to Houston for their 6th and 7th round picks. Another underrated move by the Pats in a deep draft class. Bonus USFL opinions: Did USFL make...

Also we briefly discuss the fact that JJ Arcega-Whiteside is moving to tight end in year 4 after a prelude to this move in 2021 when he was used on special teams, and as a blocker exclusively.
