9. I remember when that ludicrous "award" was announced.

I was a teen at the time and a big fan of the USFL. The talent was there, and the NFL off-season always seemed like an eternity, so I loved the idea of spring football and watched it every week. I decided to be a Michigan Panthers fan since they were the closest team to me, and damned if they didn't win the first championship.

Trump's idea to play in the fall was a dumb one, and I was hoping they'd come to their senses and stick to playing in the spring instead of going head-to-head with the NFL and college ball. But, that jury's joke of an award ended any such dream.

I'm watching the game that's on right now, and it's entertaining, but I doubt I'll invest too deeply in it. I enjoyed the "Alliance of American Football League" a few years back, only to watch that go belly-up, too.
