No one propped them up this long.

Please explain to me why Roger Goodell is trying to recreate the NFL's image into the XFL, which failed 25 years ago?

The xfl is a failure, my point exactly. No other business is propping it up with tens of millions of dollars. There is no massively profitable nba-type business keeping it afloat with tens of millions of its own dollars. Its not happening.

The XFL was 25 years ago? Wow! Remembering the 3-game network run. I believe they had 13 million viewers the first Saturday night broadcast and 3 million the second.

Just curious. Did you watch the games? And to be clear, I mean dropped your spring weekends to tune in to a team each weeend.

Roger is trying to create the minor leagues for the fall game. If you watch and spend money that is a bonus in his mind.
