Week 17 - 1985: Denver Gold vs Portland Breakers (FIXED AUDIO)

[@NerdsofManyColors]

Great game and great to relive some of these "true" USFL moments. Thanks! Mouse Davis...an offensive innovator, but kind of clueless as a head coach. This game confirms it! :-(

[@USFLForever]

Yes he was to me an offensive genius but not a good head coach.

[@tonyarceneaux286]

@@USFLForever There are more head 🗣️ coaches who were better assistants then the top 🔝 coach

[@mikemurphy2932]

Marv Levy is the color commentator! This is before he took the head coaching job with the Buffalo Bills! He's still with us at 95.

[@USFLForever]

Yes, after the Chicago Franchise which had a new owner in Einhorn who decided not to take the field in 85, Levy was left without a job. ESPN picked him up.

The Invaders Logo is supposedly the most popular Logo right now. St. Louis fans are really the best, then Seattle, at least for non NFL Leagues.

[@DetroitDriveArenaBaller]

Birmingham Fans are right up there too.

[@USFLForever]

St. Louis is a good bet for the new USFL.

[@MarklovesJoan]

I wish, now that the raiders have left Oakland, that the Invaders would return there...even though I LOVE the city of St. Louis

[@Mike-aka747]

Portland should have a team in this new USFL. The Breakers drew pretty well despite being a pretty poor team.

[@apex_prowler95]

The Breakers were the cardiac kids when they were in Boston. They were a good team.

[@USFLForever]

Portland could be an option for the new USFL but They have the name "Breakers" trademarked in New Orleans.

[@Mike-aka747]

@@apex_prowler95 they started good in 84 too with a 6-0 record. Then they lost 10/12 of their remaining games. Good attendance in NOLA though.

[@Mike-aka747]

@@USFLForever do you know all the cities with the nicknames that are good to go now? For example I’ve heard about the Dallas Stallions. Why not Birmingham? Strange really strange one. St Louis Invaders another one. Why not Oakland? No NFL anymore.
