The XFL is making a comeback... VM re-trademarked the name XFL in addition to entering into a business deal that will free up massive amounts of cash for "future business endeavors"..

They should play in the spring or summer when the NFL isn’t playing.

I think that's what the plan is.. It really seems to be a good time for it due to the nfl's controversies.. the NFL isn't held in the same light as it was 15 years ago...

Sorry about the bold type

there's $100 million that VM won't ever see again. the solution to something that's dying because it's too much like professional wrestling is unlikely to be discovered by the guy invented* professional wrestling.


*well, re-invented, at least.

clt also has a rumor that FSU is not eligible for a bowl.

XFL should be an indoor/arena 50yard game. Have it start mid-march and end by late July. Keep the game play take 2 hours and under and keep it high scoring. It'll make its way on Stadium or CBSSN and make money.

Fun fact about the XFL. One of the most famous players, Rod "He Hate Me" Smart, is a WKU alum.

Rumor has it that he failed English, but received an A+ in marketing.

The NFL will be fine, the XFL isn't coming back.

Soccer overtaking football is more likely than any other football league taking anything from the NFL.

Agree, start early march n play thru be done in June.

Needs to be a Spring/Summer league and be a more regional league. Places like Birmingham, Memphis, Little Rock, St. Louis, and San Antonio all would be solid places to start.

You were saying?

I really do despise these bastardized, cheap imitations of the real deal. XFL and indoor soccer are jokes.

Don't watch it then, but don't knock others for doing so.

I'm really interested in hearing more details about the league such as rules and teams. I know it's going to be a little different than the NFL but it's not gonna be XFL 1.0 either.

The NFL is fine. To think otherwise is a tad shortsighted.

Since the failed attempt of the XFL in 2001, there have been lots of changes. Its almost a totally different game of football now and the safety issues are magnetized by 1000 now.

Somethings Id like to see:

I would like to see just the opposite of what they done the last time. If the ball is kicked off at the start of the game/half/score and is put in the end zone, then the ball can't be returned and is placed on the 30 yard line. If it is kicked off and is caught at say the 8 then the ball is placed on the 10 and so forth in 10 yard increments up unto the 30.

FGs that are 55 yards or more worth 4 points instead of 3, FGs 25 yards or less are 2 points instead of 3, 26-54 worth 3.

65 man roster, 25 offensive players, 25 defensive players, 10 special team players, 5 players that can play both ways.

If a kickoff or punt goes out of the back of the endzone its a "single", the team who kicked off gets 1 point. Ive always loved the "single" or as its actually called in the CFL a Rouge. Only in the CFL its a single if the ball isn't returned from the endzone. But if you made it this far then you've seen my 1st change and that wouldn't be possible.

The NFL will be fine, the XFL is not coming back... in any substantive way or for any sort of sustained period.

If McMahon has been advised that this is a good idea, he needs to fire those yes men.

A lil pissy and condescending.... Nothing new from the Center of Tennessee jokes though.
