Someone around these parts is gonna need a new avatar!
There was a radio show the other day while I was driving.How do you know that? The way I understand it is the new XFL is being presented as a second option for rhe NFL. It is part of the reason McMahon has taken a far different approach to the re-launch of the brand.
Now you can say that of the first XFL. People thought there were people going to be suplexing other people on the field and chair shots involved. When that didn't happen people lost interest.
As I said in the other thread. If the XFL is smart they will learn from the AAF's failures, and their own, and be better off for it.
Sounds like speculation to me. So far there have has been few details about the XFL. I'm not even sure if teams have been announced yet.There was a radio show the other day while I was driving.

But when the AAF suspended its football operations Tuesday, the league told its players their termination date was April 3. Even though the AAF did leave openthe possibility of a re-launch under new investment, Tuesday's suspension was viewed by most as the end of the start-up professional football league that lasted just eight weeks in 2019.
When the NFL wants a NFL-minor league akin to MLB-AAA then we the general public will get minor league football.
Considering the AAF was created to develop QB and OL-men, NFL really should brought into the league.
I agree, it was inevitable, just a matter of how long. I expect the XFL to have the same fate. I think two seasons will be a tall task for them.One of the less surprising things to have to happen. I think I would have been shocked if it actually worked out.
Very disappointing, as I enjoyed watching this the last several weekends.
I'm especially disappointed with how it folded. Dundon was willing to make a huge potential financial pledge for a League that clearly needed more time to market and establish its presence, but decided to fold things up quickly in the most cynical and pathetic fashion. Specifically, I'm talking about players getting back to their hotels and having all of their stuff packed up and waiting for them in the lobby, and then finding out that they were actually charged for their stays.
That's bush league ****. Dundon is a clown.
Hell, that doesn't even sound legal. Bush league is putting it nicely. I'd like to know the guy responsible for that decision.
From what I understand the players who hard their cards charged are getting that compensated, but that is still clownshoes stuff.
