Stoney Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 If Vince was smart he’d sign Johnny Manziel, Colin Kaepernick, RG3.....that’d ensure him a lot press and eyeballs tuning in early to see the freak show. The need is there for a spring/ summer league. If done right it could act as a springboard to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him to a team and order the head coach to make him the centerpiece of the offense. It'd be like printing your own money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Could you imagine a Tebow vs Kaepernick Championship game in today’s left wing right wing society? That’d pull some numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’d pull some numbers. Can you imagine the talking-head drama, the social media craziness, the advertisers fighting over who gets a piece of the action. If I had that kind of venture capital, I'd totally try to undercut the bureaucratic mess of the NFL. Am I the only one who finds a lot of parallels to the boring early '80s NFL and how the USFL came in and shook the apple cart? Hell, we even have Trump in the mix again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ok, let me build this league. It will be a spring league. 11-man football. NFL rules (or at least NCAA). Max contract $1.5mil, Min Contract $75k. You sell this to TNT, TBS, ESPN, FOX Sports, etc... 12 teams, 2 leagues, 4 divisions. Leagues should be North and South. 10 game season. 4 team playoffs. Division 1 (South East) Texas team 1 Alabama team Florida team 2nd Texas or Florida team Division 2 (South West) Texas team 2 Arizona team Nevada team (vegas perhaps?) Oklahoma team (or go Southern Cal) Division 3 North West Washington North California Utah Colorado Division 4 North East Pennsylvania New York New Jersey Ohio --------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone 18+ should be able to play. Each host city hosts a combine (camp). These players have to pay to attend/try out. They all should be on different days. At the end of the 12 day combine period, teams bid on the players. Let's say Mike Vick and Steve Young want to play... They would enter the "pool" to be bid on and then you take the 3 highest offers (or all of the max offers) and put them in front of the player and let them choose their destination. Everything should be done in 2 year contracts, with the 2nd year being a team-option. (this saves the team in case the league folds). The league should make it clear that they are not the NFL, and they are not college football, but an alternative route for players to take to reach their ultimate dream of playing in the NFL. This could catch some traction with high school kids who think that they are pro ready and want to get paid for those 2 developmental years they would normally be in high school. I would also start a WWE Network (there may be one). I would show re-runs of old Royal Rumbles etc, exclusive WWE interviews AND all live football games not picked up by major networks. This would attract all of those pedophile young adults sitting on their couch eating boogers and sitting in their underwear while watching men wrestle in underwear take an interest in football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 The first XFL was pure cartoon wrestling mess disguised as football. If they try something similar to the old USFL or WLAF it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 NBC and the WWF now E lost $36 million on the first XFL. I watched some of the games and the playoffs, but it was an inferior league. I suppose he could write the losses off on his taxes. I'm sure there is talent that the NFL misses, because players couldn't go to college for grades or other reasons. The only two players I can think of that never attended college that made it to the NFL were Eric Swann and Otis Sistrunk who had the University of Mars on his football card. We'll see if it works.

Monte1076 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Guys...McMahon said he won't sign anyone with a criminal record (or arrest, possibly). Meaning Manziel is out. McMahon will own all the teams, as far as I know. It's supposed to be a late winter, 10-week (regular season) league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
