Spring football: talk about flying under the radar

[18IsTheMan]

It's 2 weeks in and I had no idea the new UFL had even started. Actually had no idea the XFL and USFL had merged to form the UFL. Looks like viewership was pretty bad for opening week, down from XFL and UFL opening week numbers. We'll see if numbers pick up now that March Madness will be over. Not a great start, though.

When can we stick a fork in spring football?

Agree. The market has been telling media for decades that it doesn't care about spring football. You'd think the people investing hundreds of millions of dollars in these ventures would have packed it in by now.

Yes. But with every new iteration of the product, you have folks going on about how THIS will be the time they get it right.
