I think that for all the great ideas about this, the one fatal flaw that can never be addressed is the lack of talent at the one key position. NFL teams struggle to find a viable QB at times. The XFL will never have anything resembling decent QB play unless they can afford to offer them more than the NFL does, which they can't. NFL QB's make way too much money to give that up and the next tier of QB's looking for work are just awful. Maybe 1 or 2 can play but not enough. No age demographic will overcome that short coming.

So long as Tim Lester doesn't mount his XFL comeback, I'll support this fully.

If they can define what a catch is in under 10,000 words count me in.

Well that and the topless cheerleaders.

Being a wrestling fan since a youngin (3). When Vince McMahon puts his mind behind something. It usually gets done

He got it done alright.

There is knowing what you're good at and doing it well, (which he does for the most part) and then there is being arrogant and thinking that something that failed miserably years ago will work because some fans hate the National Anthem protests.

Didn't the government stop allowing the Anthem from being played at XFL games towards the end of that abomination?

With Football probably. Not with other things.

Watch the 30 for 30( I think I have it right) on the XFL but I think Iowa hit the nail on the head.

If he doesn't include Wrestling ( which he is slowly transferring control to his son in law) than this might have a chance.

Tim Tebow can stop wasting his time with baseball, Johnny Manziel can party again as in qb for a team, and Colin can get back to balling.

Here is something I thought of when I was walking to my bus stop. You ask why is Vince doing this.

If I can borrow I minute of you time and explain some of the WWE to you if I may.

A while back ( Can't remember when exactly). Vince slowly started transferring some of his power and control over to his Daughter Stephanie and her husband Jean Paul.

Now it is to the point where Vince is somewhat of a creative advisor and director of the shows.

Vince might be bored and figured to give it a shot again

Travel. Enjoy your golden years. There are thousands of things that a person can do if they are bored that won't be a 100 million dollar risk.
