I watched about 15 minutes worth of one game out of curiosity. Meh is an overstatement, lol.
Same. I also don't need football year around especially when it is not close to good as the NFL.

If this league can't make it work, not sure what hope the xfl has. Unless vince is willing to just shovel loads of cash in for a few years.
What fucking idiot posted that link? It’s BoGo. Not 1/2What happened to the other half of the ticket? I know they're trying to conserve paper, but DAMN!!
The league was doomed once they failed to get the NFLPA on board.

If this league couldn’t bring pro football viewers or money using cities not already occupied by NFL teams, does Vince really believe NYC, LA, Seattle, Houston and Dallas fans are going to give two shits about his league that starts right after the Super Bowl?
Probably by being gimmicky like the old XFL. Leagues like the AAF and UFL failed because it was just simply too much like the NFL with worse players.
That's the problem.
Give us some time to miss football.
Start the season in mid April or so.
makes you wonder if college football would be good if people weren't loyal to their schools first???
It would be a disaster. You think guys like Manziel and RGIII are fragile? Those fresh outta high school kids would be in body bags.i worry if we ever get to the point where kids go straight to the NFL.

Leagues like this don't succeed as developmental leagues . They survive as direct competition . AFL, ABA, USFL all had great success in varying forms. No one gives up a fuck about minor leagues . You need 8 well known owners with a shit ton of cash and then you need to capitalize on the NFL rookie cap and pay the college kids wayyyy more than they can make under their rookie deals. You sign as many of them as you can , get a TV deal and then try to hold on until the league gains traction . After that you're really just treading water until you get bought out by the NFL or get a merger. Everything else is doomed to fail from the jump
I thought the AAF had a chance as a sort of NFL minor league. Maybe as a league where kids who couldn't handle the academic side of college could go, develop, and potentially be drafted. The problem is you need to be able to operate at a loss for at least a few years until the fanbase develops. You can't expect the league to turn a profit or break even in the first year or two.
Bummer. I liked the league.
The XFL won't make it if the AAF didn't.
