dfwabel Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 5 minutes ago, Ferdinand Cesarano said: It all has to do with his backstory, that he didn't play football in high school. That makes him fascinating.Also, there was the tantalising glimpse of him in the AAF, in which he started the season strong. Despite the fact that he eventually tailed off and was even replaced at Birmingham, he remains a player whom people are interested to see, and in whom coaches evidently see some quality. Revisionist history. He wasn't interceptions, and wasn't throwing TDs either. He was a 56% accurate in his first four games for 797 yards, and 3 INTS. Zero TDs. Four games and Zero TD passes ain't strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only important point is that Perez was fun to watch in the AAF (just as was his teammate Trent Richardson, despite similarly underwhelming statistics). And, as noted, whoever makes decisions for XFL teams also clearly found his play worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 8 head coaches are also General Managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Manziel's Direct Auto commercials was likely as lucrative than one season in the XFL with much less work and zero pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he has more money than the AAF, but he's also much more mentally unstable than Charlie Ebersol. He tends to get extremely impatient, making changes at the last minute and flies off the handle at the smallest things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Vince is going to piss away half a billion dollars, TV deals with Disney and Fox, a new company and a second attempt to run a football league before the season ends after two years of preparation. Uh huh, makes total sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Comet Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 This is the same guy who wanted a 2nd season of the original XFL. We get at least 2 seasons out of this iteration as long as Vince is still alive. If only to sate his ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The other issue I have is the schedule. Why not start after March Madness? This way it gives football fans 6 weeks off after a long NFL season to possibly watch football again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way it gives football fans 6 weeks off after a long NFL season to possibly watch football again. Is the inventory there from TV six weeks later? Plus, say you started the second weekend in April, when would you ask for full payment of your tickets? The closer you get to Thanksgiving, and especially Christmas/Hanukkah, the less likely you will have advanced sales and potential ticket buyers will be six weeks in deeper debt. In fact, XFL is nearly making sales public to the date which AAF did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
