I know neither of you want to hear this right now, but congrats to San Jose and Birmingham on excellent seasons that fell short of your goals. Smirt and waitwut had title aspirations for sure, but unfortunately there can only be 1 champion.
The USFL has so many high caliber owners that inevitably, a lot of them don't even reach the final 4, let alone win a championship. It's difficult to get through the playoff gauntlet and you two got farther than most. I have zero doubt that you guys will keep your teams in title contention in 2008.
