Orchestrated by Dick Ebersol’s son. Has quite a crew backing them. Bunch of ex-players, Peter Thiel, Chernin Group.

Will probably still suck.

This clearly has the NFL's hands all over it. Designed to do 2 things:

1.) Block the XFL, which they don't control.

2.) Create a farm system for the NFL.

None of these leagues will ever be relevant without TV ratings...

Agree. The no kickoffs and two point conversion is the NFL experimenting. The teams will probably be in the NE, and play in NFL stadiums. The XFL will probably target smaller market areas.

Already having the TV deal in place immediately makes this a bigger deal than the XFL

Wait...you think the NFL is working with Barstool Sports' parent company to block the success of the XFL??

Maybe it’s the NFL 2nd Division starting up and we’re gonna relegate Cleveland.

I can almost see in a Magic Make Believe world that both of these leagues are successful and at 15 to 20 years down the road they merge.

Now you have something that can compete with the NFL.

Need to follow the USFL model with cool, simplistic uniforms and securing top college prospects, USFL did it right until they attempted to play games in the fall against the NFL schedule after ONLY 3 YEARS OF EXISTENCE

But, but, but... the greatest businessman ever said doing that would raise their value and force the NFL to merge with them!

This sparks my curiosity. They’ll have 8 teams, and cities will be announced next month. Wonder what 8 cities will get a franchise?
