Re: The USFL's Philadelphia Stars

Re: James E. Mora

His time in the USFL is impressive to me, because the Stars were the model franchise despite not having a big payroll or any marquee players. Other teams would sign current NFL players and big-name college guys, but the Stars were built from within for the most part. Mora won two titles with Chuck ...
