Speaking of this, how do they intend to handle the scheduling in Giant Stadium when the USFL plays in the fall? It's enough of a farce right now having two teams share the stadium. Any construction workers out there looking for a job? You should suggest a new stadium being built in NJ for this and/or a Pro Baseball Team. > > By the way, an AFC East realignment could feature the Baltimore Stars and Indy > Colts.

Raiders vs. Oakland Invaders, Baltimore Stars vs. Indianapolis Colts; sound real interestingeven though I think the calibre of ball in the USFL will not come close to the NFL for a good while. \ / |\\ / | | \| | | |\ | | | \| John B.
