Dr LBC Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I mean, people realize that, more than likely, if Vince even brings the XFL back it will be via an online/streaming medium. He's not getting a major network deal, nor should he after how badly the XFL bombed last time. Despite ratings being in a slump, no broadcasting company who does business with the NFL wants to get on the bad side of the NFL this close to a new media deal (2019 or 2020 IIRC), so Vince's pitches to them will fall on deaf ears, particularly if he tries to go directly at the NFL. Moreover, the NFL has expanded it's media claw hold since last there was an XFL. NFL Football is on 3 days a week (4 this time of year), and very few football fans are going to abandon College Football to watch players who are sub-NFL quality. A successful business model where sub-standard football is shown via Facebook Live on Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Fridays doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, NFL will sign more guys to futures contracts (and they already do a decent amount of that to begin with) because their 32 owners can afford a helluvalot more than Vince can; and that will cut the talent pool significantly. Offseason would also be going up against baseball which, to some, doesn't sound huge, but it is... because baseball is on literally every day and their games last longer than football games on the regular.

You’re probably right. But it is ironic that he said he would stand for the anthem and he’s the only one who can’t get a job over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crickett Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 If Vince brings back the XFL, the first guy he'll sign is Terrell Owens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 As long as they act like silver to NFL's gold, it should be a solid product and alternative football for us. Vince has an ego and tried to compete with a huge giant like the NFL right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
