The web's biggest and best Houston Gamblers site!


High-octane football was the name of the game.

With an offense good enough to shred the record books, and a defense good enough to leave a fair share of bruises on the opposition, "fun" is probably the word best used to describe watching the Gamblers franchise of 1984-85. Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly and offensive coordinator "Mouse" Davis led their group of blistering-fast receivers in the first professional run-and-shoot attack. 

Happy 2012 from the Gamblers

Last year was a good one... And hopefully 2012 will be a great one! We will be adding more content than ever to the website this coming year. For starters, take a look at this team-issued 1989 Richard Johnson Detroit Lions jersey. It is probably the closest we'll ever get to one of Richard's jerseys! We have also obtained the original Gamblers contract signed by kicker Toni Fritsch and will be posting it soon. Wait 'till you see the terms of his contract!

Over twenty-five years after the birth of the USFL, it remains difficult to find information about the players and staff members who brought Houston's legendary franchise to life. Houston-Gamblers.com was created to be a one-stop reference library for casual and dedicated fans alike, as well as a resource for collectors who are looking for info about Gamblers memorabilia.

Bringing fans and players together is one of the main reasons for this site. Be on the lookout for interesting interviews. And most importantly, we want to hear YOUR story -- don't forget to share your memories in the "Post Your Comments!" section.
