wtlobos Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Vince McMahon is concerned more about TV viewership right now. Thatโs where the real money is. Butts in seats are nice but tv money is next level.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Watching New York/DC and they almost had a full blown riot on the field after a fumble. One guy gets penalized for taking his helmet off despite a couple guys down with injuries and guys coming in off the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised that soon theย NFL will start lining up the same way the XFL does on kickoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I really care, but if NY would stop turning the ball over they could be up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 These XFL teams are sloppy.ย Dropped snaps, INTs everywhere, tons of fumbles...ย I love the concepts, hate the players.ย The extra points and kickoffs are A+ entertainment.ย ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I know the Cowboys had several sloppy games themselves last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to stay small and manageable, continue to iron out the kinks, and don't try to take on the NFL as a competitor. They're nowhere near ready for that. Stick with the niche of being "minor league" spring football and you'll be able to last a few years.ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can acquire him right now since the XFL season is officially cancelled. ย https://heavy.com/sports/2020/02/pj-walker-salary-xfl-contract-money/ย . ย I'm sure Cam Phillips, Dan Williams, and Donald Parham will be signed as well. ย If an NFL team wants them, they can sign them now.

Mr. P Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Not surprised...ย heck, it's gonna hurt long-established leagues if this cultural shutdown continues. An upstart like XFL didn't stand a chance through this.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These leagues need TV but low operations budgets.ย XFL et al will never be profitable when they are banking on the names to support the product.ย How much were these big name coaches getting paid?ย How much were they paying for those stadium rentals?ย ย You need something like Arena football.ย It's basically Texas 1A football.ย It's great, the players cost nothing, and its different.ย ย If I was going on a larger scale operation, I would go with an 8 team real football league in Europe, Asia, Australia... somewhere not the USA. Or do as I previously said, make your league for 18-25 year olds.ย Compete with and ruin the NCAA model.ย If you can pay college stars $100-200k a year, then your league could seriously thrive.ย You have star power, you will get media.
