Vinnie Mac needs Tim Tebow a lot more than Tebow needs him. I can't see Tebow signing on with the XFL at this point in his life.
He’ll be 32. Good news for him is even at that advanced age the league will still probably fold before he retires. In a lot of ways including him is saying that Vince didn’t understand why the XFL failed the first time, and won’t see this failure coming. Washed up washed out not good enough football players don’t make exciting football. Football’s not like hockey where 2 mediocre teams can still play an entertaining game because they’re evenly matched. Mediocre football involves a lot of incomplete passes and punting, it’s boring, no matter how even the matchup. Watching Tebow hit the receivers less than half the time, and then those bad receivers dropping half of those won’t entertain. XFL 2.0 is doomed from the start.
Between College and NFL, there is already an over-saturation of football as it is.
What a huge expense preparing to play in cities that don't currently host teams. And what a waste, when you have multimillion dollar venues, already built, being used only one day a week, six months a year. If NFL and XFL could cooperate (a big if, I'll grant you) they could share the cost and split the revenue.
Some will say if the two leagues have to share a city's ticket buyers, both will starve. They may be right...
Isn’t Tom Brady 41 ?
Toms been doing his job the whole time.
No matter how much you like Tebow, he ain’t no Tom Brady.
Dude, ESPN would lose there sh!t over that. I’d buy season tickets.
