Is the XFL moving to San Antonio? PLUS more USFL lawsuit news, a new court date pending and a question of who the “real” USFL is in the hearts and minds of USFL fans on this week’s episode of The Markcast. The XFL is in the news with some new hires as well as a potential head coach lined up, plus we also have a slate of fantastic interviews including USFL historian Paul Reeths, newly drafted USFL Philadelphia Stars OL Sean Brown and Henoc Muamba on this week’s show.

The “real” USFL has come out to defend the right and legacy of the original USFL, but it seems that most new USFL fans don’t really care. Who is and should be the rightful holder of the USFL trademarks moving forward? We chat with USFL historian Paul Reeths who’s worked with and spoken to those involved in the USFL for his projects in the past. Why is the “real” USFL alienating themselves amongst new USFL fans and what can the “real” USFL do to fix it?

Recently signed USFL Philadelphia Stars OL Sean Brown joins the program to talk signing up to play in the USFL in Birmingham in 2022. We talk through Sean’s journey which includes stints in the AAF, the XFL AND The Spring League before finally winding up in the USFL with Bart Andrus and the USFL Stars. We talk about the importance of spring and alternative football leagues to give players more opportunities and places to succeed moving forward.

There’s also a bunch of XFL news in the world with the league formally announcing 3 new hires within the XFL office and a report out of a new head coach potentially heading to the XFL in 2023. We also chat through the XFL’s resurgence on Twitter and if that has anything to do with trying to counter-program against the USFL’s gaining momentum.

***It came out last last Thursday night that the potential new XFL coach is heading to San Antonio to head up the XFL team there. We don't yet know if it's a team relocation, expansion, or something else. Redbird and XFL have yet to confirm or dispute the infomation as of this recording.***

Finally, Henoc Muamba of the Toronto Argonauts joins the show. The newly-elected CFLPA member talks through goals for the CBA headed into 2022, why he loves playing in his hometown of Toronto and more. Henoc has played football both in the CFL and NFL and has a tremendous story and legacy to share with new and veteran players alike, don’t miss this interview!
