Jan 25, 2018 Please God give Detroit a XFL team. We starving for a championship team. By default they'd be our best team too. Red Wings & Pistons are a dumpster fire. Tigers will be the worst team in the MLB next season. And the Lions will just simply never win. So i'm 100% down for a XFL team in Detroit!
Jan 25, 2018 I think the XFL will be successful if they do just 2 simple things: 1. Their regular season has to take place during the NFL off season obviously. Preferably during the Spring/summer. 2. Make it viewable by streaming
Jan 25, 2018 I had a Hitman XFL shirt when i was like 9/10. seemed like this was taken as more of a joke than serious at the time. new version will be interesting to see how Vince doesnt fail this time.
Jan 26, 2018 Vince is taking this very seriously. He isn't f---ing around at all 2 years is the perfect time to consult experts throughout the industry, media and Guage fan interest. He claims they are gonna make the game more fast pace with less theatrics. So the way the old XFL was played is definitely not how this is going down. The markets they debut in will no doubt be big ones. Im thinking Oakland/San Diego, Pittsburgh, Boston/New England, New Orleans, New York (or Jersey), Dallas, somewhere in Connecticut (Vince resides there), and maybe one team in Canada probably in Toronto or Vancouver.
Jan 26, 2018 Can’t get enough of football, so I’ll check this out But I don’t remember hardly anything about the XFL besides it not being too successful and didn’t last long
Jan 26, 2018 My biggest questions are about the players that will be in the league. $100M is barley enough to start a league 1. Are they going to try to allow guys in college play in the league before they’ve had 3 years of college FB? 2. How are they going to make saleries competitive enough to keep good players from just going to the NFL after they have put in time in the XFL and gotten good? Unless the XFL is just going to be a feeder system to the NFL.. But Vince is competitive af...I don’t see him wanting to have all his best players leave for the NFL. Which goes back to how $100M is not very much at all to start a pro football league... Honestly the whole league will succeed or fail depending on how much they can get a network to pay in rights fees.
Jan 26, 2018 The XFL died of incompetence... same with the USFL and World League/NFL Europe. The time for a competing league was then... now we know football makes r-----s who die at 50.
