Red Comet Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 LA is Ground Zero (pun intended) for the kind of people that would flip their lid over a name like the Wildfire. If the market isn’t receptive to a name, it doesn’t matter how cool it might be, don’t use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but somehow, Miami and Carolina are both perfectly fine with teams named the Hurricanes and San Jose doesn't seem to raise much objection to Earthquakes. I guess there were enough objections to Wildfire to prompt the XFL to reconsider. 1 Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 If I recall, there were some pretty serious wildfires in and around LA in the year prior to and around when the name was unveiled. If Wildfire was the first choice, they made a good decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francois couldn't even do much in FCF, what the hell will he do in the XFL? I also wonder if we'll see players that were in the USFL jump over to the XFL. Jordan Ta'amu might want to head back to St. Louis instead of dealing with the Bandits, but how many others might make the move? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Are they doing away with divisions? Seems like it. Otherwise one of the Texas teams would be in the east. Kinda makes sense. There's only 8 teams. Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will, but having the two best teams play instead of two division winners would be a better way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A league is most interesting when the final is a matchup of champions of the league's subdivisions. Each participant in the final should be a champion in its own right.

A lot of people subscribe, and rightfully so, to the belief that the best teams in the league should be the teams competing for the championship. 2 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I am all too aware that a lot of people subscribe to that position. But it is not rightfully so. That sort of format cheapens the regular season. If there are not enough teams to have divisions, then the best format it to give the first-place team a berth in the final, and have the second- and third-place teams play for the other berth. But if there are enough teams to have divisions, then the best format is to determine division champions who will then go on meet in the final.
