Pre-Merger XFL and USFL Talk

When you and your guest talk football and bring up the XFL and the USFL - and it took place two years before the two leagues merged into the UFL.  Among the teams mentioned: the St. Louis BattleHawks (consistently leading the league in attendance), Houston Gamblers (who post-merger were rebranded under the XFL Roughnecks name - and starting in '26 will once again play as the Gamblers), New Orleans Breakers (currently in a state of suspended animation but could easily come back), Michigan Panthers (who have consistently been good in the UFL but were placed in suspended animation because Ford Field has been hard for them to fill), and New Jersey Generals (also in suspended animation).
