Now I kinda want to research this. I literally don’t know any other USFL owner, but my gut tells me there are a few felonies mixed into the group.Quote:

It was somewhat similar to John Spano; he briefly owned the New York Islanders before he was eventually indicted for wire fraud and other financial crimes. I don't think the Express owner was ever indicted, though.
But if you have the chance STL, watch the 30 for 30 documentaries on both the USFL (Small Potatoes) and John Spano (Big Shot) if you haven't already done so.
Lock him up?
(I heard something like that somewhere.)
Indeed it is.Quote:

That’s not what is scary STL.Quote:
