The United States Football League played its first game yesterday in Birmingham.  Birmingham vs New Jersey.  There are a total of eight teams in a total of two divisions (north and south).  All of their regular games will be played at a stadium in Birmingham.  Post season games will be played elsewhere.  

It actually wasn't bad.  And at least it wasn't the National Woke Football League.  Birmingham won by 3.
