An odd piece of football trivia...

LAST U.S.F.L. PLAYER RETIRES Sean Landeta, the last active player from the United States Football League, officially retired from football. The retirement coincides with the 25th anniversary of his first professional game.

Landeta, 46, spent one game on the Giants’ roster in 2006, the season after Doug Flutie retired. Flutie was his competitor for the longest-tenured U.S.F.L. player.

Landeta, who played for Jim Mora on the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars of the U.S.F.L., is best known for his nine seasons with the Giants, which included Super Bowl championship teams in 1986 and 1990.
