Rc2catch Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I’m not a fan of Vince McMahon really but I am rooting for this league to be successful just like I rooted for the other failed one. Lol Vince should at least be able to make payroll and he definitely has the right people to market wrestling so hopefully they find a niche with the XFL this time to get some talent in and make it a success. It’s never going to compete with the NFL and that’s ok, we just need something decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has a technical definition, most people refer to Spring as when the land becomes warmer, plants start to grow and it stops freezing. Here, that's usually March 1st. By the technical definition most of December is Autumn. December does not evoke autumnal feelings in WNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I remembered the SAC logo. Just now, SteveFreeman22 said: You haven't been here lately then because the last 20 years or so, it definitely has an autumnal feel to it.

Estelle Getty Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I think the biggest problem with these start up leagues is only having 8 teams. It is hard to draw interest with such a small field of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR8 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I like the Battle Hawks logo the most, so that's the team I'll cheer for during the 2.5 week season before this league goes under. I'll buy some merch too, because by 2020 it'll be vintage XFL... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jletha Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Some of the logos are alright (Roughnecks, Renegades) but the names are awful. IMO teams should try to make connection to the city somehow. The Wildcats, Dragons, Vipers? Those are so stupidly generic awful names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Ray Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) If A. Brown were serious about playing with his life long helmet, then he should have no qualms about leaving the NFL and playing in this league. Do it AB, I dare ya!

And FTR, Buffalo over the last 21 years (1998/99-2018/99) has averaged 25.95 inches of snow in December. The 21 years before that (1977/78-1997-98) it averaged 24.83 inches each December.
