If the USFL was in business, Steve Young would *still* be collecting on his LA Express contract. But it isn't, so he's not. But hey Mark, go try the same thing twenty years later. You could be the Donal Trump of the league, taking the present-day Brian Sipe, Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie to... a league of financial ruin.

"We only need to overpay about 3 or 4 big names and we can think about crippling the NFL". was the gist of it..... No wonder the Mavs flamed out in round 1.
