Should never expect an ROI your first year. They were gambling and trying to beat XFL to the punch imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were the games being televised? I caught the first one but literally never saw any ads on tv or online anywhere for where to watch them. I would check through the networks and NFL network on Saturdays and never see anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched week one when it was on CBS. I don't have cable anymore so I couldn't watch any more games after that. If it had been on broadcast TV I would've tuned in.

I saw these mentions of everything being streamed via NFL app and NFL Network and I never saw anything but highlights available on either of those outlets.

candyman93 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Manziel belongs in the XFL. Vince will make it happen despite Manziels comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Read something interesting about the XFL. They will sign 18 year olds. I will be really curious to see if any college kids skip the NCAA crap and develop in the XFL. Instead of sitting out for a season in college, why not give the XFL a shot?

I thought it was 19 year olds? Go one year to random college. Then to the XFL for full time coaching/experience while getting paid. Then be able to skip the draft and go to which ever team you want instead of being picked by Washington or some other bottom feeding poorly run franchise.

They would still be udfa? The lower you are on the totem poll of drafting the less persuasion you have over your destiny. Changing the draft to a lottery/points/bidding system would where people had an element of being able to determine their own destiny would be a system that is much more pro player and fairer, going to team or environment that doesnt suit you isnt that reasonable.

BayRaider Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 So instead of competeing with the NFL this time they are trying to compete with college and steal their talent after a freshmen year. Very interesting. I think most 4-5 star recruits would stay with the NCAA to not risk their NFL chances but the 3 star recruits might head over to the XFL.

I have a feeling we'd see more kids try and go this route, skipping college, realizing that the XFL isn't going to last, and not being able to latch on to a program they may have due to the amateur/pro distinction. Now as for going to the XFL instead of opting to sit out a season, I'm curious as to why anyone would risk injury on the XFL field as opposed to sitting, which it appears doesn't seem to chap any behinds in the NFL scouting community anyway?

Dome Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This may have been mentioned already. Will the XFL test For marijuana? Did the AAF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that Vince McMahon will actually pay extra for positive PED tests if it's anything close to the WWE over the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
