tional Football League and the United States Football League is finally under way. Last week, the USFL filed suit against the NFL to stop it from negotiating with players under contract to the USFL. How could they possible pull such a publicity stunt? Wasn't it the USFL that raided players under contract with the NFL? Take Brian Sipe. Joe Cribbs, and Cris Collinsworth who play for Cincinnati while under a future contract with the USFL. Once they get into court, the cases will never stop until the USFL folds.
