In all seriousness, cool to see some familiar names like Lance Lenoir, Bug, Lauletta. Even saw Lynch on there lol Quote

I thought he was going to be a decent NFL QB, shows what I know. Quote

Can’t believe they would be this deep and not have disposed of this. Quote

Much of Fox's promotion of the new league is rooted in nostalgia. The names, logos and colors of these teams are 99% based on the originals. It will be interesting to see what a judge thinks. My conspiratorial mind can't help but think The Rock called in some favors. Edited March 1, 2022 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote

FOX knows they have no legal standing and it seems like the original owners overplayed their hand. Now this is their last ditch effort to force FOX into giving them something. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Every game will be televised. It's not just TV programming for football fans. It's another thing to bet on. Edited March 8, 2022 by PromoTheRobot Quote

GunnerBill Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Don't think any UK broadcaster has picked up the rights. BT did show a few XFL games in spring 2020 before the pandemic put paid to that. Quote
Milanos Milano Posted April 12, 2022 Author Posted April 12, 2022 Will probably watch, stars or not. Would probably watch a televised backyard football game at this point. I want and need football. 1 2 Quote
Greg S Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 I will watch it but I have doubts it survives. Same with the XFL. Quote

I want and need football. I will definitely watch for the same reason. Just found it funny they put a bunch of players in hero poses as if anybody knew who they were. Reminds me of the Nathan Peterman hype video. 5 hours ago, Greg S said: I will watch it but I have doubts it survives. Same with the XFL. Regardless, it's the idea of a minor league that will survive. Different iterations will keep coming until one sticks. Quote

I want and need football. Yep. A bunch of my buds got into the XFL a couple years ago for similar reasons, and initially our fanaticism was just for jokes. But by the end of the year we were all semi-invested and actually cheering for our teams. Quote

USFL doesn't have a team here, but I'm finding it easy to get hyped for the Houston Gamblers. Quote

I bet Jim Kelly has some good Gamblers stories. Edited April 12, 2022 by PromoTheRobot Quote
