Las Vegas used to be but since they will be getting an NFL team very soon, they are out of the list of "cities in which non-NFL Football leagues must have when they start."

BBTV Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Did xfl have a draft? I bet Vince could put on the most entertaining draft ever.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I didn't mind XFL V1, but I think if the point of V2 is to force players to stand for the national anthem and get concussed on every play, I'll be rooting for its abject failure. The McMahons deserve a big loss. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The McMahons deserve a big loss. Since this would be actual controversy instead of pretending to sneak into the cheerleaders' locker room I think McMahon is fine with players protesting while the announcers rip them for doing it. They actually tried to add extra protection by increasing the bubble around the punt returners. The one thing they'll need to toss though is the opening scrum for the ball.

kroywen Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If that's indeed the logo, it looks rather dated. Interesting that they're going with a red/white/blue color scheme. Really hope that's not a sign that they're going to try to position themselves as the 'patriotic alternative' to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc... Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 My advice, make it as normal as football as football can be. No gimmicks. If you want to be the a-hole....then sign high school players after graduation, and pay for their college education for the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I would expect Memphis and Birmingham to return to the league, because every alternative football league has to have either one or both cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't know why I am so excited for this? I just hope McMahon doesn't screw it up this go around.

Sodboy13 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 CBS Sports is reporting a 2020 launch, which suggests Vince learned from his mistake of only having a one-year run-up last time. Taking the money out of the publicly-traded WWE and spinning off his own company where he can lose his own money on it is another lesson learned. I doubt Vince has learned much of anything else from how he screwed it up last time, though, given the 35 years of evidence we have on that. Ideally, the football project takes his time away from wrestling, which would be good news for WWE fans. Most likely, I see this being quietly abandoned before March of 2020 rolls around.

GDAWG Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Also, Vegas is breathing a sigh of relief knowing that they will not be involved in yet another alternative football league that will fold within a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If it were up to me, in an eight team league, think I'd go with: Orlando Memphis NY/NJ Toronto Milwaukee San Antonio Portland San Diego Very little head-to-head with the NFL, and takes six fairly strong football markets with two that aren't historically good football markets, but have growth potential (Portland and Toronto).

The XFL would run into issues with the CFL in regards to Toronto. Also, there is no long term stadium solution in San Diego at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
