The UFL is back with its second season in its current iteration. Last year was the inaugural campaign for the league after the XFL and USFL elected to merge as one spring league called the United Football League.
During the 2024 season, the Birmingham Stallions cruised to a 9-1 regular season record and went on to defeat the San Antonio Brahmas by way of a 25-0 shutout to win the first-ever UFL championship. Now, the Stallions are attempting to go back-to-back with the rest of the league hot on their heels.
The league’s second season officially kicked off on Sunday, March 30 and will roll on through 10 weeks of regular season play. Then, four teams will make the playoffs with the top seeds and the runner-up from each conference reaching the postseason. After the opening round, the 2025 UFL Championship Game will be held on Saturday, June 14. The venue for the championship game will be held at a neutral site chosen among the league’s eight markets.

Saints QB Derek Carr says ‘people are lying’ about him and his shoulder injury
<!--> New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr stated publicly for the first time that he has a shoulder injury, but stopped short of disclosing any specifics about how or when it happened, or how it might affect his availability to play during the coming season."I hate that I have to say this, but I have to say this: Yes, I have a shoulder injury," Carr said while delivering a guest sermon at a church in Las Vegas on Sunday."I have an MRI report to prove it," Carr continued. "The team knows about it. We’ve been in constant communication. There’s nothing wrong. We’re figuring it out and we’re going to go forward with that.

Anthony Edwards over Luka Dončić? Wolves will take it; plus NBA playoffs observations
It never hurts to ask about the other team’s star player.That’s a general truth in the NBA. There are only so many game-changers available, and it’s worth checking in on all of them, even if there’s a 0.0007 percent chance of hearing the answer you desire. But when Dallas general manager Nico Harrison asked Minnesota about Anthony Edwards in mid-January, starting a casual conversation about the prospect of a star-for-star swap that quickly ended when the Timberwolves showed no interest, it was met with some confusion, because there was only one logical way for the Mavericks do that sort of deal: by giving up their franchise centerpiece, Luka Dončić.AdvertisementA few weeks later, when Dallas decided to send the five-time All-Star to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round pick shocked the basketball world, Timberwolves officials […]
Jeff Van Gundy has been the Clippers’ not-so-secret weapon on defense all year long
The LA Clippers have been a winning program every regular season since the 2011 lockout ended. What they haven’t always been is a top defense.The highest ranked defense of Vinny Del Negro’s tenure was being No. 8 in 2012-13, which was his final season. In Doc Rivers’ seven seasons as head coach, the Clippers only had three top-10 defenses, peaking at fifth in 2015-16 and Rivers’ final season in 2019-20. Tyronn Lue’s defense ranked eighth in 2021 and ’22 but slipped to 17th in 2023 and 16th in ’24.AdvertisementThe solution for Lue’s 2024-25 Clippers? Jeff Van Gundy.He was hired as lead assistant coach and Lue’s defensive coordinator after spending the 2023-24 season as a senior consultant with the NBA champion Boston Celtics. Before last season, Van Gundy was on ESPN’s top broadcast team for 16 seasons after ending four years […]
