The only way to beat the NFL is when the best players start going to the XFL instead

Pay the players more than the NFL is doing but the NFL is a moneymaking juggernaut so I don't see that happening

Maybe if you were Jeff Bezos with $115 Billion but not Vince with only $1.73 billion

Delusional.

There are not enough high quality players and coaches to staff the 32 team NFL, even at the beginning of the season.

Specifically, at the most important position, there might be 12 NFL quarterbacks who play at a consistently high level. At least three will get knocked out for the season, and another three will miss substantial game time because of injuries.

When you combine injuries, brief careers, and a talent shortage, a competitive second league is impossible.

I cannot wait for the XFL. There’s plenty enough talent out there to support it. FUNFL.

I predict the new XFL will last about as long as the old XFL.

Count me in. I’d rather watch college football, premier leagu soccer, or any xfl game over the NFL. I didn’t watch a singe nfl game last season and don’t plan on doing so in the future. Just like the Winter Olympics (it should be called the gay, Trump hating olympics), I don’t care for a bunch is social justice assholes force feeding me PC and leftist ideology. I’d rather just turn it off.

Vince McMahon might be spreading himself too thin, with his purchase of MMA for $4 billion.

I think Rugby might do better. It’s a much rougher game than the NFL and more fun to watch.

Ironically, ten years ago I wrote a letter to Roger Goodell and predicted that he would ruin the NFL... He seems determined to prove me right. One of the most maddening things is that this behavior that has offended the fans HAS BEEN AGAINST THE RULES since the beginning - Goodell just refuses to enforce those rules. The Dallas Cowboys could not wear anything to honor their murdered policemen... but it is OK to dishonor the flag.

I predict McMahon and his family will be successful in SELLING the XFL to America.

And putting a bunch of NFL washouts in a game will fix which parts of that? Note it didn’t before. The XFL put out a terrible product that got pathetic ratings and probably shouldn’t even have bothered to finish the season. I predict it’ll be even more pathetic this time, they actually might give up midseason.

The XFL could survive as a minor-league if he offers the top high-school players the opportunity to play for pay just as baseball does.

They can finance the whole thing via a new XFL owned fantasy football operation like Draftkings...I’d be in.

Here’s the problem.

The quality of play in the NFL has declined significantly, at times games are just unwatchable as a result. What kind of players are going to be in the XFL? The only thing that keeps the NFL where it is, is the history of the teams, and the built-up loyalty to those teams. There is no history, or tradition with the XFL, it’s most likely just going to be bad, boring football. And bad football is very boring.
