XFL (Official Thread) Football • Page 6

They really should have nicknames, bad call. The most publicity they got was from the nicknames.

The 8 teams are being announced on wednesday lol

 

Getting hyped for the announcement.

 

The cities already leaked... do we care about spoilers for that in here anyway?

Dallas Houston Los Angeles New York St. Louis Seattle Tampa Bay Washington DC

 

Why compete with all of those major markets? That seems so silly.

 

If you didn't want the cities spoiled to you I'm gonna want to have a chat with you

 

I'm kinda torn because one team is from the market I already root for for NFL and the other is where I'm from.




Who am I kidding I'm picking based on team colors and mascot.

 

Hopefully none of the teams are named after the bombing of abortion clinics this time.

 

Kickoff is Feb 8 2020

 

AAF is on tonight on CBS

 

Bob Stoops is gonna be the Dallas franchises coach and GM

 

Rex Ryan would be awesome for the XFL

 

so is this the official AAF thread? if so I'm here for this shit show

Go Apollos

XFL called up Colin. They are looking to pay QB's around $500K, he wanted $20 mil. lol

 

Vince sold $272 million in stock to throw at this. Jesus.

 

-New helmets will reportedly be used in the XFL with no face guards so fans can see the facial expressions of the players during the game
-Marching bands will be used much like in college football
-“Backstage” locker room videos will be produced to allow fans to see what is happening behind-the-scenes during a game
-Fans calling plays might be introduced, as the XFL plans to integrate the fans and social media into the live games as much as possible

 

lol what? How could someone think this is a good idea?

 

Fans calling plays is great, would watch. Flea flickers, fumblerooskis and fake punts all day babay!!

 

ABC/ESPN/FOX/FS1

 

how why

 

Unreal

 

XFL games to air on ESPN, ABC, FOX properties

The networks are not paying a rights fee, but ESPN and Fox are picking up production costs

 

A huge factor for the AAF was a shity tv deal, it had great ratings on CBS but then when it moved to CBS sports it died quickly.


Idk, this could make it have sustainable ratings.


P sure it's just going to flop still.
