Albany,n.y. Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33341262/xfl-petri-dish-football-innovation-prospect-development-part-partnership-agreement-nfl The NFL-XFL agreement will give the NFL a "petri dish" to experiment with proposed rules, test new equipment and develop prospective officials and coaches, XFL president Russ Brandon told ESPN. A Buffalo Bills executive for two decades, Brandon said NFL officials routinely discussed the need for such an outlet after NFL Europe shuttered in 2007. "People would ask, 'What are the opportunities to look at the game through a different lens from a player development standpoint?'" Brandon told ESPN. "'How can you be an incubator or an accelerant in many different verticals, from officiating to rules innovations to playing surfaces, to player development?' You can go on and on.

ChevyVanMiller Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I think this article is far more noteworthy for the partnership between the NFL and XFL to test out rules and equipment innovation than it is for the mention of Russ Brandon. You should consider changing the title and mentioning the XFL or I predict that a duplicate post will happen.

Mr. WEO Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 we hear this same BS every time one of these bogus/doomed leagues relaunches: "the NFL will be adapting our cutting edge rules of play!" then they go belly up and the NFL yawns again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPoy88 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Doubt this succeeds, but at least this zombie league is starting to get the right idea - you can’t exist in competition with the NFL, they really need to figure out a viable way to work with and compliment the NFL. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about him, but made a living here in Buffalo polishing a turd and we all ate it up. He knows how to work a market. Edit: no I'm not russ or his mom.

Whites Bay Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Just a quick side note to the youngsters (<45 years old) on this board. You know what? One needs to give a bit of grudging respect to people that can keep reinventing themselves. Don't be so quick to spit or scorn. It might be you someday. And kudos to you. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since1981 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The bills business side always feels like Uncle Buck and friends. Like a small town with nepotism (interbreeding). “Director of Marketing” anywhere else would be an actual professional I see background shows on some of these people and they all seem barely capable. Russ comes from that gene pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
