Giddy-Up! The sports-filled week ended on Sunday evening with our Birmingham Stallions taking on the New Orleans Breakers for the South Division Championship. The Stallions scored 7 times in a row to start the game, winning the game 47-22.

It won’t be easy to match the past week, but we’ll try. The Barons are home for the 4th of July weekend and everyone will be glued to their televisions watching the Stallions defend their USFL title.
