.... REAL HOPE in Michigan, as the USFL Michigan Panthers are looking far better than last year – the best chance for a Division and hopefully Championship banner to go up into the Ford Field (Detroit Michigan, Home of NFL Lions (and Panthers previously played at former home of Lions Pontiac Silverdome when they Won Championship and had a banner in those) rafters!!!

And we should all have REAL HOPE that the XFL (destroyed by Wuhan Virus lockdowns the last reboot attempt) and the USFL now into Season 2 of reboot, should both learned lessons and proceeding cautiously toward long-term stability and longevity this time around. Again, to allow us, as Fans, to see more local favorites from NCAA Teams (and some former NFL Players, as well as “NFL prospect” Players to showcase themselves, in the mix) get to extend their Careers otherwise not available to them.

VIDEO (2m 19s): Kurt Warner – American Underdog (Movie Trailer):

And there will remain the great potential for another greatest story in Football of another Kurt Warner (see his biopic: American Underdog) that we all knew Kurt was destined for when we even first glimpsed his potential all those years back starting in the Arena Football League. Here in Michigan we remember fondly Novo Bojovic from his Detroit Drive (AFL), Michigan Panthers (USFL), and Saint Louis Rams (NFL), days. Many players had actually played in both AFL and NFL (starting most famously with Cliff Branch (Former Oakland Raiders WR) who joined the AFL in first Season and LA Cobras to help highlight the League and show his full “Iron-Man Football” (players play both Offense AND Defense, let’s see many of the NFL folks do that) talent. Some include such names as: Novo Bojovic, Rashied Davis, Cory Fleming, Tony Graziani, Jay Gruden, Rob Hunt, Jim Kubiak, Tommy Maddox (AFL, XFL, NFL, transition), Todd Marinovich, Sean Payton, Will Pettis, Kurt Warner, and so many more (fuller, but still incomplete list via Wiki). Just a couple of USFL to NFL mentions are Doug Flutie, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker.

VIDEO (10m 26s): Arena Bowl X highlights: Kurt Warner vs. Jay Gruden:

Warner went from AFL Iowa Barnstormers QB (1995-1997) to signing with St. Louis Rams (temporarily playing with Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe), then becoming Rams Super Bowl winning QB and MVP in 2000 (Super Bowl XXXIV). Warner set a Super Bowl record with 414 passing yards and threw a pair of touchdowns to lead the Rams to their first Super Bowl title and was named the game’s MVP. He recorded another MVP season two years later when he guided the Rams back to the Super Bowl. Warner then went on to play for the Arizona Cardinals and took them to a Super Bowl in 2009 (Super Bowl XLIII) but was unable to duplicate his Super Bowl winning success, losing both his second Rams Super Bowl and (Warner’s 3rd, this time with) Arizona Cardinals Championship games appearances.
