A while back smtjoy posted this thread looking for the guy who collects USFL memorabilia out of the blue. That guy was me and Scott was kind enough to send me these entirely out of the blue:
Random acts of kindness continue to run amok on these boards... thank you, Scott!
Notice he included not one, but two of these. He also mentioned if they did not fit my collecting interests that I was free to do with them as I wish, so I am sure he would not mind my offering up one of these to any interested party here since I only need one. The first to call dibs on this thread gets it.
Thank you again, Scott.

On August 23, 2008, a press conference revealed plans for The New USFL, a direct revival of the league,[3] planning to start play in Spring 2010. Tom Shapiro, former Assistant City Attorney of Santa Barbara, California has been hired as Commissioner. Some new rules have been announced:
Fans will be able to purchase stock in any franchise
No pre-season, just a 16-game regular season
No touchbacks on kickoffs, if the ball goes out of the endzone, it will be placed at the 15 yard line
Field goals of at least 55 yards will be four points
A three-point conversion will be placed at the 10 yard line
One foot inbounds for a catch
No kneel downs
Safeties are worth 4 points
Overtime will be played like in college
The New USFL season is planned to begin in February and run for sixteen weeks plus playoffs, with a championship game at the end of June.
The league will introduce 12 franchises for the inaugural season, with hopes to grow to an eventual sixteen teams. Franchises have been awarded to ownership groups in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Jose, Portland, San Antonio (Northwest Divison), Orlando, Little Rock, New York - West Point and Baton Rouge (South-East Division). The other 3 franchises could go to Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, Memphis, Mississippi, New Jersey or Alabama.
