The USFL and XFL are in talks to merge together as one, creating a single secondary spring football league, Axios first reported on Tuesday. The two leagues are expected to combine ahead of the 2024 spring season.
In 2022, the USFL returned after it had a run from 1983 to ’85, producing players like Steve Young and Herschel Walker before folding. The reboot league, which is owned by Fox Corp, played its first season with eight teams, beginning in April and lasting through its championship game in July both years.

ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark might be more excited than anyone that football is back in full swing, at least based on his effort breaking down Monday’s Steelers–Browns Monday Night Football showdown.
Clark appeared on SportsCenter after the Steelers’ big win and stole the show with his performance using a telestrator to analyze Pittsburgh’s huge defensive performance.
He started by jogging across the set to get to the screen, then delivered an impassioned performance as he showed off how the Steelers scored two defensive touchdowns in the win.
While most assumed we would have to wait until the week of the Texas A&M-Ole Miss game for Lane Kiffin to take his latest shot at Jimbo Fisher, the Rebels’ head coach gifted us with a subtle jab during his weekly press conference on Monday.
Kiffin and Ole Miss are certainly focused on this weekend’s showdown against Alabama in Tuscaloosa. But a reporter in Oxford made the decision to ask Kiffin about the Rebels’ win over Georgia Tech this past weekend.

Danielle Kang, the 12th-ranked player in the world, lost her golf clubs while flying to Spain for the Solheim Cup.
Imagine playing in one of the biggest tournaments of the year, and your golf clubs are nowhere to be found.
That is the situation Danielle Kang currently finds herself in at Finca Cortesin, the site of this year’s Solheim Cup in Malaga, Spain.
The Solheim Cup is the LPGA equivalent of the Ryder Cup.
“It’s been an adventure.
The Rays have been trying to get a new ballpark built since 2007, only nine years after they became a team and started using Tropicana Field.
This is the best use of a newborn photographer.
Sometimes you conceive your first NFL touchdown immediately, sometimes you really need to work at it. For Colts TE Kylen Granson he’s been trying for three years, and finally got to bring his baby home.

A fourth round pick in 2021, Granson had been without a touchdown catch over his first two years in the league, and was beginning to doubt if he’d ever get a baby ball to bring home.

People can’t get enough of Coach Prime.
Deion Sanders has turned the Colorado Buffalos into must-see TV, bringing in a growing celebrity fanbase and massive TV ratings with every game. Colorado football was a dormant program a year ago, finishing with a 1-11 record and failing to exceed five wins in every season since 2016. That all changed with the arrival of Coach Prime from Jackson State, who remade the roster in the transfer portal and quickly turned the Buffalos into the most exciting team in the country.
Former Major League pitcher and World Series champion David Wells joined Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo on Mornings With Maria, and took aim at Nike for some of the company’s marketing decisions in recent years.
Wells’ feelings on the Swoosh came front and center at the New York Yankees’ Old Timers Day earlier this month. There, the left-handed pitcher — who played for the Bronx Bombers from 1997 to 1998 and again from 2002 to 2003 — took a piece of tape and placed it over the company’s logo on his jersey.

ESPN’s iconic College GameDay was in Boulder, Col., last Saturday for a monster show. Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders joined the show for an interview, The Rock was the guest picker, and Lee Corso was celebrating his 400th headgear pick.
ESPN spent the morning giving that night’s Colorado State–Colorado a big-game feel. But for some reason, the network had its No.
The biggest storyline heading into this month’s Ryder Cup is the U.S. team traveling to Europe in looking to return across the pond with the cup in hand for the first time since 1993. The American’s 30-year drought in Ryder Cups played on foreign soil will be talked about ad nauseam, but as Justin Thomas recently alluded to, it’s impossible to ignore.
To put the U.S. drought in European Ryder Cups into perspective, of the 12 Americans on this year’s team, only six were alive when the U.S. last hoisted the cup in Europe.
