XFL to return

[Haleyrules]

The NFL could use a little competition. That just might smarten it up a little. Plenty of football fans would welcome that.

I Love Beer. A lot.

So it looks like it’s official, Vince McMahon is bringing the XFL back in 2020

Or in other words - the NFL from its inception up into the 70’s

Im sure xfl will flop like it did the first time. Some ideas that could help it to me are.

1. Less commercials. Figure something out with advertisers. Make games shorter.
2. Less flags. The refs are too big a factor and basically can decide games with flags.
3. Less kicking. Kicking is too big a part of the game. I hate seeing a great game that is decided by a field goal. Also maybe no punting.
4. Don't put a team in Philadelphia. So many people from there are scumbags.

The USFL in the same form it was before would kill it now.

If it's a serious attempt like the USFL was, I might watch, but people are usually worn out by college and pro football by February.

The USFL nabbed a bunch of good players and had quality coaches. As long as there was no gimmick garbage and the league was run the right way (ie, not like Goodell) I'd definitely watch.

 

[TheZoneSucks]

Now is a good time, but it needs to be a serious football league to have a chance. Drop the gimmick bullshit like the He Hate Me crap.

Here's a free, sure to bring in viewers disgruntled with the NFL, bit of advice that is potentially worth tens of millions of dollars: the league slogan should be - "No Politics, Just Football."

You're welcome.

McMahon must read here based upon his recent comments.

Again, you're welcome, Vince. You can repay me by never hiring Roger Goodell.

Vince McMahon Sold $100M Worth of WWE Shares To Help Fund Sports-Focused Company | Total Pro Sports

It looks like Vince McMahon is serious about starting up the new league again

He filed for trademarks for the XFL and sold off 100 Million in WWE shares to help fund the venture

This has strengthened rumors that have swirled for years of Disney acquiring WWE. If this version of the XFL is a success then look for McMahon to sell his wrestling business.

 

[NoMoRedJ]

It might do well just because people are fed up with the NFL and Goodell. A slap in the face to the NFL from people just for spite.

 

[Scot]

It’s apparently scheduled to debut in 2020

I was talking to my buddy who's daughter is dating a center that will be playing for a new league called the Alliance of American Football starting Feb 9, 2019, he said he got a 3 year contract being paid approx $75K per year, seemed like a pretty good salary for a start up league

wonder if any of these will work, there does seem to be a need for a minor league of football to develop players

 

[Scot]

How long until Jeruh buys himself a XFL team to use as his very own minor league development playground?

At times, it appears he already has an XFL team

Seattle, Wash., at CenturyLink Field

New York, N.Y., at MetLife Stadium

Dallas, Texas, at Globe Life Park

Houston, Texas, at TDECU Stadium

Los Angeles, Calif., at StubHub Center

[TheZoneSucks]

I'm definitely going to watch the first season. Guess I'll stay local and cheer for the Dallas team.

 

[Scot]

I just hope the cheerleaders are fully nude

That will draw in the crowds
