A team in the XFL would still absolutely annihilate any CFB team. You have to look at it like weight classes in MMA/Boxing. Saying the NFL only matters is like saying Heavyweight Divisions only matter. There will still be highly entertaining games and skilled players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking that stat is just a touch exaggerated. Of course I won't be watching. (Then again I only half-watch the NFL but still...) All these leagues hoping they'll be the next AFL or whatever are dreaming. As someone else said, playing in the fall/winter is doomed because NFL and in the spring/summer who the hell wants to watch football? I'd rather be travelling, going to the park, taking day trips, cookouts etc vs watching any football, let alone some lame boring inferior version of the NFL.

y*so*blu Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 McMahon is never satisfied with wrestling; he's always tried to punch above his weight with expensive side projects. The restaurant in Times Square, the World Bodybuilding Federation, the first XFL ... they're all long gone. So I'm not expecting much. But yeah, I'll give it a shot out of boredom if nothing else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were smart they'd stream all their games on their own app for free and try to live off of ad money, but I bet the network contracts preclude that as an option. I would have watched a lot more AAF if I could have just flipped on a local network and watched. I'd be shocked if the games weren't streamed through whatever the networks own app is.

I can't watch failed BUSTS and fool myself to thinking I'm watching good football. Busts were top college players, so . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some no doubt go for that, but I suspect a fair # even on this site don't. And even if so somehow I doubt the people on this site are enough to carry hack leagues like this.

JAF-N72EX Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Yes, I'll watch it. But then again I say that every time another one of these types of leagues pop up and I end never watching them because I forget that they're on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing I'd bet on. Vince will have a much better streaming service and options than the NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also well under funded from the start. Vince had dedicated over triple the capital AAF had. This will last at least one full season for sure. Probably at least two but we’ll see. Not sure why Vince gets so much hate. He took something that has a fixed outcome and turned it into a billion dollar empire anyways. Vince is actually a terrible businessman. As CM Punk said, he's a millionaire when he should be a billionaire. The only reason why WWE is still around is because WCW shot themselves in the foot.

Also Vince McMahon so this is doomed from the start. Now we just need Donnie Boi to bring back the USFL. Disagree... the last league folded because they rushed the product to beat the XFL. They didnt take their time like the XFL did... it takes time to study the players and coaches to make it successful and it takes time to find out what the fans want. It seems like this league has been listening. Fans are tired of bad calls by refs... xfl has listened and boom they will be using hawk eye technology. Fans are tired of kickoffs becoming meaningless so they changed ruled that if its kicked out of endzone ball comes up to 35 yard line and the coverage unit cant run until after ball has been caught. Allows for player safety without taking out the excitement of returns. Fans are tired of OT rules with tie possibilities and a team can win without the other possesing a ball so boom they have a shootout at the 5 yard line. Then of course they got rid of extra points and just put 1, 2 and 3 point conversion attempts in which should makes games more interesting. I will definitely be watching to see Eric Dungey! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incarcerated_Scarface Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I might try and take my kids to a game in DC if it's not too expensive. Other than that I won't be too much invested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
