The HQ has chronicled the struggle Brian Banks has had to proclaim his innocence while spending five years behind bars. He was accused of rape and spent five years in prison before a judge overturned the sentence in May after the victim recanted her story.
Turns out all the alleged victim wanted was money to solidify her story...
Now, Jim Fassel and the Las Vegas Locos are giving Banks his chance after he spent the summer getting tryouts with the Seattle Seahawks and two other NFL teams...
Amy Powell has the sound from Vegas...
Very cool... and the HQ hopes it's only the beginning for the Long Beach Poly grad...

The UFL LIves!
((ht: profootballtalk.com))
And you are probably asking yourself..."What the heck is the UFL?"
Well, maybe not if you are a regular reader of OSG Sports because we've reported on them before, but the casual football fan, no, they probably aren't aware.
The UFL has hemmoraged millions, gone from 8 teams to 4 and yet still has Marty Schottenheimer and Jim Fassel's names attached to it.
And the reason they are in the news: They got a TV Deal!
According to ProFootballTalk.com through the AP, The CBS Sports Network has agreed to air 2 games a week for 8 weeks.

It's pretty funny that a 4-team league will exist in it's 4th season. Mostly because nobody is aware they existed in the 1st place.
The premise was actually pretty good, but instead of trying to become the AAA Affiliate of the NFL, they tried to compete with the NFL.
Maybe by letting players come and go as they need, they'll be successful. But with only 4 teams and a piss poor track record--We Doubt It.
