There's a spring football dynasty, sports fans
Football fans, we have a spring pro football dynasty the likes of which we haven't seen since the Berlin Thunder won three of four World Bowls between 2001-04 in the now-defunct NFL Europa.
The Birmingham Stallions dominated Sunday's UFL championship game against the San Antonio Brahmas, winning 25-0. The victory gave the Stallions a championship in three consecutive seasons, after having won the USFL titles in 2022 and 2023.
Stallions head coach Skip Holtz has won those titles with three different starting quarterbacks: J'Mar Smith in 2022, Alex McGough in 2023 and Adrian Martinez this year. Martinez was the 2024 UFL MVP and earned championship game MVP honors, too, after accounting for three touchdowns (two via rush, one passing).

Should we even be surprised by this development?
When the New York Jets opened their "mandatory" minicamp last week, Rodgers was not there.
Assuming that he’ll be all-in during training camp, this minicamp absence is merely a curious blip. Yet, pending further explanation, it comes off as so, well, selfish, USA TODAY Sports' Jarrett Bell writes.
