Derailed! (1984 Preview)

by: Marcus DeLion from the fanzine “The Express Way”

The USFL season went through the gamut of emotions last year for Los Angeles Express fans. We started the season luke warm to the prospect of another team that might just end up leaving. Then, they started the season off 4-2 and leading the West. Starting in week 5, the wheels came off.

They lost 7 in a row and fell as far as third in the division, where they ended the season at 6-12. Even so, optimism runs high for the team. By drafting Steve Young, they improve one of the glaring weaknesses of the team. Some fans expect a full turn around and a spot in the playoffs this year.

I reserve judgement. Football is a funny game. You probably heard the saying, “Don’t bet on a game where the ball bounces funny.” One bad hit here or a tough bounce there and a surefire winning season becomes another disappointment. As always, make us your first and only stop for all things Express, though.

All Aboard the LA Express! (1983 Preview)

by: Marcus DeLion from the fanzine “The Express Way”

Professional football in LA has a checkered history. Competing with two of the most well known college programs often puts them as a footnote. Sure, the Rams went to the Super Bowl a few years ago. Plus, Al Davis moved the Raiders here last year, but how long will that last?

I won’t go so far as to say that the new USFL team, the LA Express, will change that. I’m just saying that there is a chance. Other teams have already shown a willingness to bring professional talent. With such a large market out here in California, no doubt the Express will do the same sooner or later.

So, count me as one of the fans excited about the USFL and willing to go to every Express game if it means that we get a good reason to care about professional football again around here. Also, tell your friends about this book. We promise to bring all the latest news about the team and the league.
