I wouldn't say I'm excited for it but people are lying if they say they won't tune in for a Johnny Football vs RGIII opening night XFL game.

You have to think it could do better than the last time because of social media. Hopefully it will last longer than NFL Europe.

Curious to see what lessons, if any, they learned.

Roll it out to 6 cities to start. Use existing MLS stadiums if possible. Optics are awful having 20K in a 75K place.

-St. Louis
-Columbus
-Bay Area
-Orlando
-Portland
-New York

Undeserved good sport cities and places NFL abandoned.

Sounds like it will start in 2020.

Already better than the original in that it won't be rushed.

And with President Trump holding campaign events at XFL games, crowds will flock to them.

Might sound weird but I think it's longevity will rely on the performance of the officials.

If you cant bet on XFL games because they're obviously rigged, it won't last.

i actually watched part of the presser just now. To me the biggest issue with the XFL was the quality of play... vince acknowledged that in the presser and stated one reason to start in 2020 was to give proper time to get a quality product.... not one of the myriad of call in press members was able to ask Vince how he expects to get high quality play when those players are going to go to the highest payin league... the NFL.

Meh. You can get a lot better play than college games just by throwing a little money at players. And a lot of people love watch college skill level.

I'll be 37 when I can walk into a bar in March and watch a football game.

Life is great.

Vince said he's listening so let's toss him some ideas:

You gotta do that helmetcam/single player cam from old Madden games where you can see what it looks like playing as a lineman/linebacker/etc. There should be enough bandwidth to stream video from a helmetcam and if fans could decide to switch over to helmetcams that'd be awesome.
