Join us to discuss the LFA week 3 action!

During the offseason spring football as we know it changed drastically. Going from two separate 8 team leagues in the #XFL and #USFL to one merged 8 team league. This meant 8 coaching staffs were left without jobs, and 8 teams without players were left to find a new home. With the season quickly approaching XFL Jim and Eric take you through all the cuts that happened, and discuss their surprises.

Also we interview Dr. Anthony Blevins who spent the last decade in the NFL but chose to accept a Head Coaching position with the XFL's Vegas Vipers only to find out the team would not be retained in the merger. Would he return to the UFL in the future?

#LigaDeFutbolAmericano better known as the biggest American football league in Mexico. Over the past couple seasons the LFA has grown to prominence and in the process essentially forced their competition out of business after the 2022 season taking a couple of their teams, and watching as the others work to form another league.

Host: Sam Shady

Guest: Ray Horton

Position: Head Coach

Team: Pittsburgh Maulers

League: USFL

Ray Horton was once drafted by the original USFL, but never played a down for the L.A. Express, now 20 years later, he is hired by the USFL to run the Pittsburgh Maulers. Thanks to the color change for the Maulers, Horton will once again don the black and gold in 2023. Beginning his playing career with the Bengals, a place he would also later coach, he helped lead them to a Super Bowl in 1988 when they would lose to the 49ers. Moving on to Dallas he would win a Super Bowl for the first time in 1992 his final season. 

Giving way to Darren Woodson in the Dallas secondary, Horton hung up the cleats, slipped on some sneakers, and stepped into coaching almost immediately. First with the Washington Redskins, but later returning to his first NFL home with Cincy. After his stint with the Bengals as a coach, he landed in Pittsburgh with the Steelers, where his coaching career really took off. In a matter of five seasons, Horton had added two more Super Bowl rings to his collection. Very quickly after he would spend time as a defensive coordinator for several teams, including two one-year stints in Cleveland. After nearly a decade living in Ohio earlier in his career, and representing the Steelers for 7 seasons, Horton was hired to oversee the Pittsburgh Maulers, playing in Ohio, with his son Jarren by his side as his assistant head coach/defensive coordinator.

Guest: Aaron Jackson

Position: Defensive Back/Kick Returner

Aaron Jackson has an interesting path back to the football field in Omaha. With four years in between his last snap of college football, and first snap of indoor football, Jackson steps into 2023 as a rookie. If not for a chance phone call to a friend while Aaron was there, he may never have gotten his chance to return at all. Jackson is a defensive back, and dynamic return man. He could be a break out candidate for the Beef in 2023.

Guest: Datryan Evans

Position: Tight End

Datryan Evans unlike most others. He started in the semi-pro game before being signed by a CIF team. The Omaha Beef gave him an opportunity to continue his progression with the indoor game, but the stay was short lived. He would end up signed by the Pittsburgh Maulers quickly after. Evans now has a chance to write the next chapter in this success story in 2023. Can he continue to progress, and find himself in the NFL from his humble beginnings on the gridiron?

Brandon Brooks is a guy who has played in several leagues before finding his opportunity in the USFL.

Keep an eye on this ballhawk in 2023.
