Cannot recommend enough. Stories and quotes from George Allen, Chet Simmons, Irv Eatman, Kelvin Bryant, Bobby Herbert, Anthony Carter, the legendary Chuck Fusina, Herschel Walker and that is just 1983. The USFL was first dreamed in in 1961 (yes, after the AFL started competing in the fall, the idea even in 1961 was to play in the spring).
Sam Rutigliano gets a mention as the guy who told Carl Peterson to sign Sam Mills and keep him in camp until they saw him play in an actual game. Browns cut him because he was too short. Someone should ask Ozzie Newsome if he remembers him in camp in 1982.
You will not be surprised that Jim Mora screwed up and overtaxed the League's best team in practice to lost to the Panthers in the 1983 Championship game.
The audio version is slightly problematic as the narrator is kinda dull. He doesn't know how to pronounce Herbert (AY-bear unless every announcer in the 80s and 90s was wrong), reads scores like enunciation is the goal (you can almost hear him think "that dash means to pause and say 'to' ").
But a ton of fun stories including the USFL version of Ezra Johnson - Greg Fairchild (Panthers) having a brat and a beer on the sideline.
And the USFL version of Charles Haley - John Corker.
David Greenwood, S/P, Park Falls, WI and University of Wisconsin causing a near riot in Philly when the Stars and his own Panthers teammates heard him call Kelvin Bryant the n word.
