YOU SMEELLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING?

 

Ha, this will be interesting to see what they do with it.  I like this move, I had a blast at the move XFL games in LA, so glad it’s got some life still.

I guess with the league dismantled and all the contracts torn up you aren't really getting much outside of the brand. I'm curious what it actually entails.

 

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you get for your $15M.

Hoping it can make it. The virus killed it last spring. I would love it if we could get spring football but the quality of play needs to improve. There were some awful games when it was on.

 

I liked a lot of the rule changes though.  Kickoffs became somewhat exciting again.  Punts were just... different.  3 point conversions.  Double forward pass (you didnt have to worry about being behind the QB and it being a fumble - you just needed to be behind LOS).  OT was kinda neat - albeit gimmicky.  I kinda prefer college OT as its a bit more... football.

he might as well place that money in a giant pile, and set it on fire.  it would just be easier that way.

I don't think $15mil is that much of a problem for him to front.

He can just do another movie or a few appearances for Vince and make it right back.....

The Rock is extremely intelligent and successful. I doubt he bought it unless he has some plans for making it work. 

 

Maybe his star power will help the league? 

They definitely could use a minor league, especially for qbs.  Kurt Warner won’t have been Warner if he didn’t get to play in the arena league or NFL Europe.

 

people love saying players are busts but some of these guys just need a chance to play.
