smzimbabwe Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I assume the NFL wrote a check to the USFL for $3. Does it still exist, and if so, who has it? Or did they cash it and split the $3 however many ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The check does exist. I believe the check sits in someone's safe, as they wanted to keep that token of "We defeated the NFL". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the article says the check resides in Memphis. I'll be in Memphis soon. Wonder if I can go see that check while we have some down time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USFL won the case, but the NFL was able to sway the jury/judge in regards to "These USFL guys aren't really hurting for money" when it came time to monetary punishment.

Gothamite Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The neediness of the plaintiffs doesn't have a whole lot to do with monetary judgments. If I remember/understand correctly, the judgment was so low because while the jury found that the NFL had acted in a monopolistic manner, they also found that the USFL wasn't actually harmed by those actions, and had done far more damage to themselves through mismanagement than as a result of anything the NFL had done. So yes. One dollar in damages, tripled to three for the antitrust violation, with seventy-six cents added as interest accrued during the USFL's unsuccessful appeals. Edit: just read that Vice article, and the author completely misses the point of the trial. He buys and repeats Trump's explanation for the damage amount. Not their best work.

jc... Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The bigger mystery..... Where is the ORIGINAL Super Bowl V trophy? The Rosenbloom's owned the Colts then. Years later, there was a trade and the Rosenbloom's took over the Rams, and the Irsay's took over the Colts. The Colts bolted to Indianapolis. Did Rosenbloom take the trophy to LA? Did the Irsay's take it to Indy? I know the city of Baltimore ended up with a replacement, but it's not the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadmanLA Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yeah, I have to imagine it's sitting in Jim Irsay's office at Colts HQs, surrounded amongst the coke dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll Rosenbloom kept the original trophy after the swap. The replacement was originally acquired by the Irsays.
