BayRaider Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) The NFL makes way too much money and will probably always be the only physical league, unless there is some kind of mutiny. What can compete against the NFL? Possibly a digital type of league that requires no physical play. It’s either virtual or the coaches call plays against each other and it’s simulated by plays and how good the roster is. Every spot on the roster is a real human, and you get drafted. I’ve always thought it’d be a pretty popular concept. Maybe soon... maybe 2070, who knows. Edited April 11, 2020 by BayRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad he failed to learn the most important lesson. Beware of Covid’s ruthless aggression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your league can't handle this then you're pretty small potatoes. Not surprised considering that charlatan that ran it. Wrong. I'm just going to assume you have some weird personal beef with McMahon rather than dignifying this with a thoughtful response. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XFL was well on their way to becoming a formidable supplemental league to the NFL (not replacement or direct competitor). TV ratings, ticket sales, and social media following clearly indicated that their is an appetite for minor league spring football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman(DH23) Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 This sucks the league was a good product, was starting to build its own stars, PJ Walker will probably be the primary backup in Carolina, largely bc of the XFL, plus it gave ET a legitimate team to root for w/ great success. It was never going to compete w/the NFL, but they may have been able to loosen the stranglehold that CFB has on these kids and/or forced them to compensate them appropriately. Hopefully the NFL takes so.e of the better ideas, such as the kickoff and runs with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely failed the first time around, but he was a part of a team that was responsible for genuinely breathing life into a supplementary football league that recognized by far the the best TV ratings, ticket sales, and social media presence of any start-up league like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) This was never viable, COVID makes a good reason but it was never viable beyond the first season. The reason Vince got the TV deal in the first place was fronting all the costs and growth to make the thing grow for 3 years until it was time to negotiate an actual TV deal. But ratings continued to drop off a cliff and income was never going to compensate for that gap. It was a money sink, there was never a path to "real" viability here.

All these stupid virus fears made it so even the ******* AAF was more of a success than the XFL Yeah we should implement mass burials and terminate anyone who develops a cough to save our second rate football league.

Matts4313 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Im late to the conversation, but the NFL has a crazy good minor league in place. Its called the NCAA. There are 150+ teams and 500+ coaches who spend time on developing NFL prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
