Not sure he is anything more than a scrub at the NFL level. He’s been in a lot of training camps over the years, rarely sticking.
Tampa seems disinterested on defense and incompetent on offense. Not a good mix for winning a football game.
No USFL trading cards this year. I guess Topps got tired of getting burned after the AAF and XFL. Plus they could only sell them in one city.
Tampa looked competent last week, controlling the tempo and moving the ball well. Today, they got the ball stuffed down their throat. New Orleans controlled the game from the first series and didn't let up. Tampa had no clue how to respond, going from listless to sloppy. It will be interesting in the next few games now that teams know how to dismantle the Bandits.
Week 3 schedule, if anyone cares... Tampa Bay Bandits vs. Houston Gamblers, Saturday at 4pm on FOX. Pittsburgh Maulers vs. Michigan Panthers, Saturday at 8pm on FOX. Birmingham Stallions vs. New Orleans Breakers, Sunday at 2:30pm on USA Network. Determines first place in the Southern Division. Probably the game of the week. New Jersey Generals vs. Philadelphia Stars, Sunday at 8pm on Peacock. Determines first place in the Northern Division. All times EST. No game on NBC this week.
We went to the opening game and had fun. It's not great football but the fourth quarter was particularly exciting. We'll probably go to a couple more before the season is over.
Tampa Bay Bandits S Antonio Reed suspended for Week 3 for Teabagging another player. He deserves the suspension, but it was funny.
Schedule has changed. Birmingham/New Orleans play tonight at 7:30 on FOX. Pittsburgh/Michigan play tomorrow at 2:30 on USA Network.
Tampa Bay kicker iced, misses the kick after time out is called. Then makes the next kick to win the game.
Gamblers Head Coach Kevin Sumlin is so bad he makes Kirby Wilson (Pittsburgh Maulers) look like Bill Walsh.
Glad to hear Tampa hung on for the win. I went off to do something else after the fumble into the pylon before halftime.
New Orleans QB tries to sneak it into the endzone from the 1, somehow fumbles it away without anyone else touching the ball.
The praise I gave Sloter last week? Yeah, forget I said anything. His play tonight makes me wonder if Nathan Peterman is available. And now Birmingham's QB has the brain farts too.
