Story of the Express:
Worth Skinner put out $150,000 to enter the
Express into what was hoped to be a "true" Minor League Football farm
system for the NFL. Players wanting a shot at the NFL like Rodney
Swann, left a wife and family at home in Detroit to play linebacker for
the Express.
Curt Marsh, the former Oakland Raider, was hired to coach the team.
The Express ceased operations following the 1990 season. |
