Episode 78 - Is It Spring Yet? - a podcast by Real Talk, Homie

We have LEAKED USFL contract details/player pay, TONS of CFL off-season notes and signings plus XFL speculation on this week’s loaded show.

Breaking news just into the newsroom courtesy of USFL news on Twitter we have player play and contract details for the 2022 USFL season in Birmingham. We break down the USFL player pay compared to other alt-football leagues including the CFL and XFL and talk about what that means for the USFL and their seriousness to compete moving forward.

We’re joined by CFL Calgary Stampeders QB Jake Maier who talks about his 2021 CFL journey and his goals to compete as the eventual QB1 for the Calgary Stampeders moving forward. Jake Maier is already a big name in the CFL, and someone you should keep your eyes on moving forward as a perennial star in the league.

CFL.ca’s Kristina Costabile also stops by the show to run down some of the juiciest CFL off-season notes including congratulating the recently re-signed Toronto Argonauts’ McLeod Bethel-Thompson, the future of Jeremiah Masoli, Trevor Harris, and more! Plus we discuss the Ottawa REDBLACKS phenomenal behind the scenes documentary that was released over the weekend #BehindTheR and discuss the BC Lions aggressive pre-season signings and movements.

There’s TONs of other alt-football news to sift through as we await The Rock’s big XFL news drop including the USFL wanting to “compete” with the XFL in 2023, the latest USFL commercial/promo and the viewership it got, and even Fan Controlled Football is in the news this week with their big NFT blunder and a new arena they appear to be building.
