General Dog posted:Doesn't sound like it, the other tweet with the schedule mentions "No rights fee paid." Maybe they're at least not paying the networks though. And the networks are picking up all the costs of airing and producing the games

They aren't getting paid by the networks, but it's still a big step up from the AAF model of "pay the networks to show our games."

Why do they even bother with the networks? Do 100% online streaming, have no TV timeouts, and finish the games in 2 hours. TV is becoming as relevant as AM radio or print newspapers, there's a reason why eSports leagues with millions of viewers don't even bother with it.

WWE just signed a 2.35 billion dollar deal with Fox for the rights to air SmackDown from 2019 to 2024. SmackDown is the WWE B-show, at least in their eyes. The market for live events networks can put on TV is ridiculous right now because it's the only way to pry people away from their streaming services. If the XFL doesn't implode hilariously in it's first year like we all expect but instead strings together 2-3 successful seasons, the networks will pay an obscene amount for the rights.

Golden Bee posted:The demo they’re after only know how to use the computer to yell at AOC. And not even effectively. Like my wife's uncle who at least once a month just posts "Happy birthday!" with no context into the void of his own Facebook timeline. If the XFL cleans up where the AAF failed, that seems like a depressingly apt political analogy that's probably offtopic for this thread.

The other reason companies are signing massive network deals is because we are rapidly heading towards a massive recession, one that could be nearly as bad as the Great Recession, possibly as soon as the end of this year. Leading economic indicators are, uh, not promising. (This is why the Republicans didn't really give a poo poo about the Democrats taking the House last year, because they know they can just say "The House controls the purse, you elected Democrats, look what it got you," even though the impact from economic policy generally takes at least two to three years to actually take effect downstream.)

Republicans lost the house because they had a president hammering immigration which most people didn’t care about. Not the thread for that though.

On one hand, Mumme's fallen down the ladder of success since getting canned by Kentucky. On the other, it's the XFL. This can only be awesome.

I am kinda curious to see how a team of NFL has-beens and never-weres runs that offense, especially which QB they get off the scrap heap.

I haven't been paying much attention but apparently the XFL now has deals with ABC, Fox Sports, ESPN and Fox? I liked the AAF conceptually much better but I suppose the XFL is the spring league America deserves
