There are speculations that Samuel Deebo might leave the 49ers, however there is no news on why he wants to leave or where he will be traded. Will it be as simple as he only want to leave California? If it is really his reason, I speculate that he might be moving somewhere in Texas hehehe. It might also be Nevada?



While we still don’t know the precise reason(s) for Samuel’s trade request, the fact that it’s gotten to this point counts as a failure, at some level, by the team. Unless the sole reason is he doesn’t want to be in San Francisco, the 49ers could have said or done something to keep the relationship from disintegrating to this point. And even if it’s as simple as Deebo not wanting to live and work in California and nothing more, his decision to disclose his desire to seek a trade suggests that there’s a level of animosity that shouldn’t exist between an NFL team and such an important player.

It could be as simple as he wants a ring. Wink

For a ring, does this imply that he wants to go to Kansas? There is no more Tyreek Hill in Kansas anymore hehehe. It might also be to the Packers. I just read an article that there is also no more Davante Adams in Green Bay.

It might also be the Cowboys? Amari Cooper also was traded to Cleveland. They might have a chance for a good performance in the playoffs. There is also Tampa Bay.

I'm sure they would all line up for him but the chances of the Cowgirls getting a ring this year are nil to none. Wink

Hehehe, I will only believe that he wants a ring if he accepts a deal with a smaller salary from his new team. I speculate that this might be Tampa Bay or Green Bay.

I watched al the usfl games except the delayed one and enjoyed them all.

Quality play, beats the hell out of that college shitball.

I enjoyed it, most of the players are former nfl and nfl practice squad.

I only tuned for the 1Q and it is definitely watchable, first play/completion was a 50yard bomb... the second TD a contested one-handed catch. Good enough for me.  Smiley

The drone cam (or at least that's what I think the shaky-spinny footage was) makes me queasy... why move it around so much, looks like some kid's tiktok.

I've been having vertigo all morning, they should not only tone down that drone cam footage but rather scrape it off completely, so awful.

I guess xbox thumbsticks work just as good as some cheap non-linear keyboard, i'm not judging. lol

USFL is no joke:  Cheesy

During the pregame show, it was revealed that Pittsburgh Maulers running back De'Veon Smith was cut from the team because he requested pizza at the team hotel instead of chicken salad. Yes, you read that correctly. They cut De'Veon Smith over him wanting pizza instead of chicken salad?



I didn’t realize that there were two leagues going on. I thought every current league had shut down a year or two ago.  Is this league 100 yard fields, same field metrics etc? One thing I’ll never watch again is arena football. My buddy was the Tampa indoor league QB for a while so went and saw games, what a joke that league is. Smaller fields, different rules etc, not my cup of tea.

I took a peek against my better judgement. The drone cam (or at least that's what I think the shaky-spinny footage was) makes me queasy... why move it around so much, looks like some kid's tiktok. Other than that, decent high school football.

I'm in for the body-cam footage, hope it comes with sound, need those popping sounds. I mean, i don't have high expectations, it will be low-scoring games that's for sure, but it can't be worse than the 2020 XFL season (which was canceled one month in due to covid). Speaking of XFL, i don't recall much of the games, but other things were entertaining, such as seeing a guy in the replay booth with an xbox controller running through the play, or player interviews on the sidelines:

The camera schemes seem might be fun, and the microchipped football is bound to make the game go faster.  Something the NFL is overdue on implementing.  One of the things that (I think) gave the 2020 XFL a chance was they tried to quicken the pace of the game, and take fewer commercial breaks.  There were some funny rule modifications that added a bit of drama also.

I reseeded my backyard yesterday and set up a camera and motion sensors to defend it from the damn turkeys LOL and I think that broadcast will be far more exciting than any summer "league".

There is an answer; turkey season is open until May 1st.

Apparently Terrell Owens is playing in it lol.

I believe that's FCF League (Fan Controlled Football), and it is something entirely different, he is not playing in the USFL.

Is there anyone that came from the nfl or college that we would even know? <....>

I'm sure most people have heard of those two wide receivers: Eli Rogers and Taywan Taylor, both of which have multiple touchdowns in their NFL careers.

Jordan Ta'amu (QB) is the top "ranked" player, he was on a few different NFL practice squads last season, and from what i've heard, he's decent.

Fox has committed over $150 million into this production, so it can't be Bishop Sycamore bad  Grin ....we'll see though.

I would probably play in a USFL fantasy league, because I'm obsessed with fantasy, but I'm not sure it would be any fun tbh.  There's a reason these leagues continue to fail over and over.  Though I am hopeful that The Rock and his partners on this might have a shot at making a sort of "miner leagues" for the NFL, finally. 

In other news...

"When you have a chance to really delve into the kind of future that you have in the digital world, I wanted the Dallas Cowboys to be a part of that future in any and every way we could," Jones said.

"Over the course of our long-term partnership, our goal is to partner with the Dallas Cowboys on helping the world to understand cryptocurrency," co-owner and CEO Peter Smith said.

Yeah I'm a fantasy degen too but I would literally have no clue who to draft or play in this one lol.

Someone spark up a league and lets draft!

Yahoo/ESPN aren't interested in or offering USFL fantasy draft leagues. The only place i could find is Alt Fantasy Sports, here's something like a guide on how to set up and run your league there. However, due to the smaller player pool, it has to be a 4 or 6-man league. Looking at the rosters, i only recognize a few names, so maybe we should pass, and besides, the real thing is just around the corner...less than 5 months left.  Grin

Obviously not the real thing but still, some of us need their football fix. It's eight teams and a 10-week regular season, some cool stuff like body cams, drone cams, there will be also chip in the balls to measure first downs (no chains).

If there are extra points for hitting a drone with the ball - I'm in Grin

Seriously though, I'm too cheap to pay to watch NFL, so sure as shit I ain't paying for this. I'd rather watch grass grow (literally; I reseeded my backyard yesterday and set up a camera and motion sensors to defend it from the damn turkeys LOL and I think that broadcast will be far more exciting than any summer "league").

Are you guys planning on watching the USFL season opener this weekend? New Jersey Generals @ Birmingham Stallions (7:30 pm, ET, April 16).

USFL Draft: Every pick from Day 1

Quote
In a unique twist, the USFL proceeded from round to round by position, beginning with quarterbacks in Round 1, followed by edge rushers and defensive ends in Rounds 2 through 4, offensive tackles in Rounds 5 through 7, cornerbacks in Rounds 8 through 11 and back to quarterbacks in Round 12.
