Man I appreciate you so much for promoting this league. If espn wont do it somebody will. As a resident of Birmingham this mean alot for our community. This is the biggest year for the city of Birmingham as we hosted all of the Usfl and also the world games. The economy will boom and it will help create future jobs here. Keep up the good work. I love this channel.

I really hope this league does not die... 6 months without football is too long

[retroguy]

You can do that in the NFL if it hits a defensive player
edit: STOP FIGHTING

[littleHILLZ]

As interesting of a play this was I was also invested in the coach and his indecision of where he wanted to place his sunglasses

[hwhaht]

Brett Favre's first completion was to himself

[lunar]

I mean, you can do that in the NFL too cant you?

[xxjaeger]

As a chiefs fan, i got Marcus Mariota flashbacks

[triotrickshots]

I really hope the NFL takes note on the helmet cameras. It’s a really neat view and the NFL only uses it sometimes on refs who aren’t part of the action.

[williebeamon]

Mariota scored a TD on his own deflection in a playoff game lol

[icegamer]

did anyone notice the coach failing to put on his glasses to his hat

[jarodelliot]

Did you hear the part where a commentator said: big and long?
It was when they were talking about the Stars defensive backs

[spenserwhite]

Technically, if the QB is in the shotgun, he is an eligible receiver and can catch his own pass without it hitting a defensive player. Don’t know what situation you would ever use it in, but you can

[steelersrule]

Catching your own deflected pass is allowed in the NFL, too, only there you can't throw it again, unlike XFL 2.0 (and possibly 3.0 as well) and USFL 2.0 where the double forward pass behind the line of scrimmage is in effect.

[melacine]

This is also legal in NFL. I believe Brad Johnson had done it... and then ran it in for a touchdown? I remember hearing about it.

[adampalmer]

What I’ve loved so far about this new league being in my hometown is the legit money FOX is putting into it. The broadcasting is as good or better than NFL games & they’re calling less than half of the penalties which makes the game much better!💯🤟

[jamiemorgan]

So this is where all the old NFL players go to play

[ElliotAskins]

As much as people don’t want to watch the USFL keep posting highlights dude👍🏻

[miscellanyman]

Not quite the same as m'boy MM1 (formerly MM8) who bested Andy Reid's Chiefs with KA-reem/TY-reek/TKel(ce) and Revis Island on which Marcus scored his Own Goal TD lol -- but, it'll do for The First Down - well, I think the QB's knee here was actually down before the red line haha

[tribeard]

Lol the dude can't even put his glasses on his hat. Holy shit thank you for the meme USFL. Keep trying your hardest and give us the memes that come out of it. Thank you.

[PeanutButterAndJellyBros]

the double forward pass should be allow if the defender tips the ball for it just to fall back in the hands of the quarterback.
