The XFL Returns in 2020

[imref]

And it's back.  Gimmick free this time.  10 week season with 8 teams starting in January of 2010.  Goal is 2 hour games.  Vince McMahon will own the league and all teams.

I bet the player kneel for the anthem (and the league folds before they ever play a game)

Sounds like a good way to waste $100 million.

Yes and only the cheerleaders will kneel.

Gotta love Johny Football sandbagging the press conference.

Funny timing since we just watched the 30 for 30 "This Was the XFL" on the DVR last night.

According to one of the radio talk shows last night there aren't going to be any cheerleaders.

...meanwhile...I watched the very first match in 2001...it was silly...it was moronic...sort of like the NFL handed over to a group of sixth-graders to re-do...think I'll give it a pass this time.

the race for the ball to open the game was something that probably sounded good on paper.

There's a quotation in today's Post in which someone comments along the lines of how the original XFL's promotional campaign promised an iPhone, but the product actually delivered was a flip phone.
