The USFL, or something like it, would be the thing to bring back. It was successful the first time, but the NFL illegally monopolized the market, and though the fan interest was there, many of the owners mismanaged their money.

The USFL WON their antitrust case against the NFL, but for reasons I have yet to hear, they were only awarded 3 dollars in the case. That pretty much bankrupted that league. It is pretty obvious there was some type of collusion going on to keep the USFL from competing with the NFL.

Get another USFL-type league back together, and get a commissioner with an actual plan, and let's see if the NFL can pull off another scam.

One of two things will happen: Either the NFL is forced to start playing by the rules AND respecting all of it's fan base, or they will eventually fold, as is all but inevitable as things currently stand, in my opinion. Either way, it will work itself out for the better.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
