The fact that the Rock is involved with this makes me think they actually want to resume play and not just strip it of everything of value.

Getting to have The Rock as the hype man for the XFL doing all the intros/press/commercials and more is probably worth more than the league itself. If he’s serious about this he could draw in a lot of first time viewers.

Yeah, instead of scenes of a Lambo pulling up in front of the French Laundry it will be a Toyota Camry parking at a Bob Evans for agent/player meetings.

davecrazy posted:The rock was on a national championship team with Miami, right? Yeah, from wikipedia: quote:Johnson was a promising football prospect and received offers from many Division I collegiate programs. He decided on a full scholarship from the University of Miami where he mostly played defensive tackle. In 1991 he was on the Miami Hurricanes' national championship team.[54][34] After suffering a number of injuries, he was later replaced in the starting lineup by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp.[55]

If you watch the original The U 30 for 30, he shows up on the sidelines fairly clearly once or twice and it always caused me to do a double take.

Elephanthead posted:So if ncaa is canceled can this get on TV this Falls Saturdays? All the players and (I think) coaches were released from their contracts when the league went belly-up, the new-new-XFL is gonna be basically rebuilding from the ground up. There's no chance they can get things together in time for a Fall season, and I strongly doubt they'll even play in Spring 2021.

yeah, if they do manage to play a season ever it's functionally going to be a third XFL, not a continuation of the second one. the XFL as of right now is a brand name, they don't actually have teams or the infrastructure of a league and may not even have any employees.

Neither does lyft and you can get one anywhere. You just take the first 100 people that can prove they got a negative covid test in the last 3 days and start.
