The ensuing scheisseshow if it gets to that point will be the most fun thing about this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Except for Kinda Funny and Quavo, we know all about the other owners of this league, so why would the fans of the league need to know who Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch are if they are already fans of football? The only thing we need to know is why they are involved in this league and the fact that Richard Sherman is a gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 One of the guys involved with the league on their Twitch page is Josh Macuga. If you're familiar with Collider and the Movie Trivia Schmoedown, you will know who he is. If not, he was one of the Collider personalities and is known to be very loud and boisterous. He was let go when Collider ended their Movie Talk show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t tell because their website is such a cluster :censored: to try to navigate. If they run their league as well as they do their website I don’t see the league even getting past concept phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Johnny Manziel In 'Serious Talks' To Make Football Comeback in New Pro League (tmz.com) Quote Johnny Manziel may not be done with pro football after all -- he's in "serious talks" to join a new league, TMZ Sports has learned. We're told the 28-year-old is close to inking a deal with the new "Fan Controlled Football" league, which is set to debut in Feb. 2021. FYI, the FCF is an arena football-style league consisting of 4 teams where almost everything -- including the play calls -- is picked by the fans. So far, HUGE names like Quavo, Mike Tyson and Marshawn Lynch have all signed on to be team owners and the league has a deal for the games to stream live on Twitch. A league spokesperson tells us Manziel is currently in talks with comedian Bob Menery -- who co-owns the Zappers team with Mets pitcher Trevor May. Obviously, it'd be a huge get for the league ... Manziel was one of the most electric college football players EVER -- and was a former Browns first-round pick in 2014. He also brought viewers to the TV in record numbers during his stint in the Canadian Football League. But, Manziel hasn't played ball since 2019 -- and just a few months ago, he told TMZ Sports he was officially retired from football and moving on with his life. Manziel apparently had a change of heart -- hey, he's allowed -- and this week, even posted about the opportunity on social media. "Currently the starting QB of [Bob Menery's Zappers]. Time to tear old town down in my owners honor." Getcha popcorn ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 8 minutes ago, CaliforniaGlowin said: Not if the fans vote otherwise. So apparently, each team gets one "franchise tag" which means that the player is exempt from going elsewhere. The Zappers used it for Manziel. Johnny Manziel Signs with Fan Controlled Football — Joins Zappers (xflnewsroom.com) Zappers of course being owned by Mets Pitcher Trevor May and some guy named Bob Menery (I still have no idea who that is). Got a glimpse of Greg Miller from Kinda Funny (owner of Wild Aces) as he was doing a gaming stream with a bunch of WWE Superstars. He has a bit of charisma to him and he wasn't overly boisterous. He was entertaining in the little I saw of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
