Thursday open thread: How much USFL did you watch?

NFL fans have gone through the same old song and dance this offseason: preparing for the draft, getting excited after the draft, obsessing over OTAs, and now getting ready for training camp. While all of that is well and good, there actually has been real, professional football being played this whole time.

Sunday will see the Philadelphia Stars take on the Birmingham Stallions in the USFL Championship Game. The Stars upset New Jersey in the North Division final, with former Michigan Wolverine Channing Stribling leading the league with seven interceptions this year. They will face a Stallions team that won the South Division, as former Detroit Lion Victor Bolden returned a kick 90 yards to the house last weekend.
