USFL Promo Herschel Walker, Doug Flutie and Commissioner Harry L Usher

Описание: Promo for the league in 1985 with NJ Generals RB Herschel Walker, QB Doug Flutie and the then Commissioner Harry L Usher.

Herschel Walker:

He accumulated 18,168 yards in his NFL career which is the 8th highest total in NFL history. But Herschel Walker also played for 3 seasons in the USFL and accumulated another 7,115 yards in that pro league playing for the New Jersey Generals owned by Donald Trump.

Adding together Herschel Walker's NFL total of 18,168 yards with his USFL total of 7,115 yards yields a grand total of 25,283 yards.

Doug Flutie:

Trump flashed his cash and this time landed Heisman-winning quarterback Doug Flutie fot the 1985 season. Although most observers felt that Flutie needed time to develop, Trump traded Sipe to Jacksonville, ensuring Flutie would start. Despite a slow start and a broken collarbone, Flutie threw for 2,109 yards with 13 TDs and 14 picks and scrambled for 465 yards and six touchdowns, a decent first season considering the pressure he was under.

Commissioner Harry L Usher:

(March 6, 1939 -- June 22, 2000) was an American attorney who was the second and last commissioner of the United States Football League (USFL). He was also the executive vice president and general manager of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee (LAOOC), which oversaw the business operations of the 1984 Summer Olympics. His legal expertise was in entertainment law.

He died at age 61 in Secaucus, New Jersey on June 22, 2000. He had suffered a heart attack while exercising at the AmeriSuites Hotel gym, also in Secaucus. He was on a consulting mission for General Electric Financial Services Corp.
