Hey guys, remember the XFL and how awesome it was?

[Chet Donnelly]

Well, he is a senior, so having a senior moment. And then after getting another Stone Cold Stunner Monday night on Raw...

Ha! Did you watch that Monday night? Stone Cold was the best part of that show.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yes. Took a break from some work and went into our big conference room with the 60 incher (that's what she said).

 

[FESTER665]

Im hearing theyre going to try their best to get Johnny Manziel to be the face of the franchise.

 

[Mook]

Kaepernick is going to be brought in as the hero but shortly after turn heel on Hulk Hogan.

 

[Shawn1112]

Let's see what kind of product they put out.

Garbage just like last time! How many of those guys actually caught on to an NFL team and had a decent career, maybe 3?

I'd laugh my ass off if he was doing his announcement and Trump comes out of nowhere and tackles him again....

Someone make sure to provide cliff notes. Ive got a call coming up.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Damn, I don't remember DJT doing that to Vince. That's what he should've done in the debates to HRC. Tackle her, clothesline her, steal the Rock's move and give her "the people's elbow"...

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Not too much information given yet other than XFL is back in 2020...

Doesn't want criminals in the league and expects players to respect the national anthem. Won't comment on cities, won't rule out international.

Nothing like a sports league that gets political right off the bat. That's just what we need.

 

[HeavyG]

stick to Circus Based Wrestling Vinnie...


or bring back the ole SuperStars....Stone Cold, Rock, Hulk ETC ETC

Nothing like a sports league that gets political right off the bat. That's just what we need.

But they AREN'T being political, by not allowing players to express their opposing political view...Oh wait.

Also, Vince is painting himself into so many different corners. The political thing, whatever. My main concerns are as follows...

1. NOT a developmental league for the NFL. Does this mean that players sign exclusive contracts to the XFL? Is there really going to be ANY talent? Or just a bunch of washed up ex-NFLer's and college players that aren't good enough for the NFL?
2. Vince is sole owner of ALL 10 teams. How are teams picked? How is talent evaluated? What accountability does Vince have to keep Team A relevant over Team B? Are there trades?
3. Players with criminal records are not allowed. I stated my opinions on the NFL's complete disregard for sexual assault, domestic violence, et al., but this seems a bit extreme. What is the "cut off" line? Are misdemeanors OK? What if you were charged but never convicted? What if you settled outside of court?
4. He's banking on what everyone seems to think is "tons of people boycotting" the NFL. I don't think that that many people are actually boycotting, my opinion is that many people are just tired of the same old shit. The NFL is getting long in the tooth and needs to find a better "hook." All of the anthem protests are dissuading some people, but chances are most of those people would have stopped watching anyways. This was just a convenient excuse. BUT does that mean they'll pop over to the XFL for a guaranteed worse product? My bet is, not at all.

100% failed within 2 years.

I rather watch reruns of Pinks

[DEEZUZ]

That's our leader...... Absolutely amazing.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

That's our leader...... Absolutely amazing.

I love how Vince sells that by backwards flipping over the table LOL!

Even a better WWE clip of our leader!

 

[Kensington]

Can someone just post the cities so I don't have to watch or download anything

 

[Fish]

It’s not Chicago. So NFG.

 

[Kensington]

In a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, commissioner and chief executive of the XFL Oliver Luck announced the eight cities and venues that would serve as home sites for the league’s inaugural season in 2020: Dallas (Globe Life Park), Houston (TDECU Stadium), Los Angeles (StubHub Center), New York (MetLife Stadium), Seattle (Century Link Field), St. Louis (The Dome at America’s Center), Tampa Bay (Raymond James Stadium), and Washington D.C. (Audi Field).
