Now officially 50% through the 2026 UFL regular season, we also got an announcement from the league that the 2026 UFL Championship Game, now deemed the "United Bowl," will be held at Audi Field on Saturday, June 13th. It still seems problematic to have the game at the venue of a team that might not be participating, but the Audi faithful are strong Spring Football supporters, and let's be honest--the Defenders are a lot more likely to be involved in the UFL Championship again

The Defenders--redeemed. The Kings and Aviators--on the board. The Storm--still undefeated. The Stallions--ouch. Now the UFL has pulled off some of their patented fishy trades to try to balance the scales (see link below). In short, Jason Bean is now the backup in D.C., Matt Corral is now presumably the backup in Orlando, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson is now presumably the starter in Birmingham. I honestly don't know how much that will change things. DTR was my preseason MVP p

My apologies for not getting this out last week--if it's any consolation, I think I would've been very off for those Week 3 games, though I seem to have done well with the bets I made. That was a week of nutty results--but very different nutty results. Orlando and Louisville had themselves a real ballgame on Friday--with Orlando getting the 29-27 win on a call by Dean Blandino that...isn't sitting well with folks and probably still befuddles the refs. At least the Kings can r

Week 1 is in the books, and I want to flow into Week 2 with some brief discussion of the impact of the various rule changes and production decisions made by the league for the 2026 season. I already hate the "no punting in opponent territory" rule and am quite underwhelmed by the 4-point field goal. It's just gimmicky and didn't produce the results that the league was hoping for when they installed those changes. For the love of God, stop with the interviews on the sidelines

Week 1 Picks Birmingham Stallions at Louisville Kings (Friday, March 27th, at 8PM ET) Stallions -5.5, O/U 42.5, -270/+220 ML A phenomenal choice for the season kick-off--Lynn Family Stadium will be rocking for the Birmingham Stallions to come to town and usher in a new era. The Stallions brand has a lot of people hypnotized into ignoring how similar these teams actually are right now. Quarterbacks of similar skillsets and streakiness. Freakishly awesome RB tandems. Great pa

Another offseason of turbulent storylines and strong emotions in all directions -- it's sad that it had to come at teh expense of the Michigan Panthers and Memphis Showboats. Losing the Brahmas was shocking. It seemed like a good market, and the league tried to prop them up for years (transparently due to " The Rock's " interests). The UFL added additional private equity, and so Mike Repole is the league's director of business operations. There's plenty to be skeptical of, bu
