Gary Bettman: "Your request to enter the portal has been denied. "

The Stars rise to a Stanley Cup in 1999 came at the right time in DFW area sports. The Dallas Mavericks were one of the worst teams in the NBA and nobody knew at that time if a 7 foot tall German they had on their team was going to do (of course, he ended up as the greatest player in Mavericks History and part of a stacked Class of 2023 for the Basketball Hall of Fame that includes Dwyane Wade, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Becky Hammon and Gregg Popovich), the Dallas Cowboys had a rapid decline towards the bottom of the NFL, and began the "Post Troy Aikman Dark Period" at QB that lasted until 2006. The Texas Rangers were well.....just there (and except for 2010-2012 and 2015-2016) are still...just there today (although they have been a bit of a surprise this year).

I wonder what the Defenders attendance will be like next year with Daniel Snyder out of the picture

It remains to be seen if the Breakers, Stars, Generals and Gamblers will actually play in the home cities that they are originally intended to.

I had forgotten that Maddox was in the NFL for a few years after XFL 1.0 and had been replaced by Big Ben in the middle of the 2004 season.

Perez would love to be Taylor Heinicke right now. In fact, Ta'amu and DiNucci would love to be in Taylor's shoes right now as well.

DiNucci could easily be Tommy Maddox 2.0 and return to the XFL next year.....or he could be PJ Walker and Taylor Heinicke and never return to the XFL.

Luis Perez is likely to get NFL interest, but unlikely to make a final roster.

They haven't played the Trailblazers and Nurkic yet, so we don't know how they would do against him.

Knowing how the Sea-Dal series has gone, I would not be surprised if Seattle makes it a game seven.

Anyone think that the new New York City FC Stadium will host high school football? Is it MetLife Stadium that hosts high school football games in the New York metro area?

A bunch of Chicago Bears, former Bears Spice Adams, Charles Tillman and WWE Superstar (and Bears Fan) Seth Rollins:

It's not going to stop Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio from saying "any minute now, he's coming back to play for the Miami Dolphins" Yeah, this is legit. He has nothing left to prove and his place in Canton is secure, so what reason would he come back at 46?

He's not content at being the sports executive that drafted Shaq and Penny is he?

So he's going to get a team from scratch and not buying the USL's San Diego Loyal?

The complete opposite of Zennie Abraham, who believes that the deal between the A's and Las Vegas will be done and they are as good as gone. Abraham also doesn't understand why John Fisher would sell the A's when Las Vegas will do everything to placate him. He says it's 100% that the A's will move to Las Vegas.

So a lot of mock drafts have Caleb Williams going to the Cardinals. I think that they are one of four teams with a really good shot at the #1 overall pick with the Falcons, Commanders and Packers. I don't think Arthur Smith and Ron Rivera are going to be around next year.

So unsurprisingly, there are issues with the two time defending NAL Champions Albany Empire. We are hearing talk Albany's days... - Indoor Football Insiders 24/7 | Facebook Players, coach off the team, more turmoil for the Antonio Brown-led Albany Empire; sources | WRGB (cbs6albany.com)
