  1. One would think so. The NFL basically covers their player salaries with TV revenue every year. There is TV revenue and sponsorships. Have to have a fan base to score the sponsors. Ultimately, will fans support year round football? I’ll be honest, love the NFL but don’t mind the off-season. Can get things done on the weekends...
  2. The original question was, will it be around I’m 6 months? I believe yes. 2 years from now? I doubt it. McMahon will do what it takes to play minimum of 2 years. Would want to outdo the AAF. I believe there is more of an appetite for football now, than when XFL-1 was around. Should have a better TV audience than back then. Interesting thing is they don’t get a dime from ESPN or Fox for TV rights so they best have a plan as ticket revenue isn’t going to keep them afloat. edit: Apparently the league is funded for 3 years. Doesn’t mean they won’t pull the plug early.
  3. Good coach. Surprised he’s been out of the NFL so long.
  4. 72 years old. Last coached Birmingham Iron in the AAF. Last coached NFL in 2008 - defensive coordinator Chargers
  5. PJ Walker is the dude the Steelers wanted to sign in October to play Lamar Jackson in practice. XFL blocked it because he was on their roster.
  6. Surprisingly seem well coached on both sides of the ball.
  7. “Pain heals, chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever”
  8. So, a TD with a 3 point extra point and a FG ties the game.
  9. Gardner from Seattle seems to be a decent RB. Tried out for Niners, made it until final cuts. Also played in AAF. Dude ran for 2,266 yards in college at Humboldt State (never heard of) in 2015. https://hsujacks.com/sports/football/roster/ja-quan-gardner/5760
  10. Funny watching Zorn cover his mouth calling plays. Dude, you’re mic’d up.
  11. Been entertaining to watch so far. Having a few ex-bills makes it a bit more fun.
  12. Impressive amount of fans in team gear. Even saw a few team jerseys. Wonder if they had promotional pricing to get as much n the fans as possible.
  13. Both logos remind me of the stock logos in Madden create-a-team back in the day.
  14. Almost sounded like over the stadium speakers. Wouldn’t be a good idea. Do like hearing it though.
  15. Is the coach calling the play being played over the stadium speakers?
  16. Gonna take some getting used to hearing the QB mic’d all the time.
  17. Wife asked “what the he’ll is this?”... Wasn’t happy with the answer.
  18. What Ross did here was calculated. Set the bar to either scare other teams, or see what others are willing to give up. The thing is, if you want the guy, go get him. Coulda tanked for him, but have to deal with the situation they are in. The phins need to jettison some of those first round picks. Imagine the cap dollars If all 5 of those players hit, assuming one of them is a QB.
  19. 34 years old. Had a decent season last year - 52 receptions for 597 yards. If it was vet minimum with easy incentives, fine. Want to be able to cut him early on if he doesn’t work out. Would prefer to start Knox and give Sweeney a shot.
