Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:It makes 0 sense for the XFL to merge with the CFL. How does that help the XFL business model? I don't see Fox wanting to show Rider/Argo games and the whole reason for the XFL is tv money. i'm like the only person who said working together doesn't necessitate merging and you quote me with this question? disrespect. you hate me. you want to kill me. it could just be cooperative advertising

It's funny they just announced this as I just started reading this book about the USFL on Kindle Unlimited three days ago and now it's back: https://www.amazon.com/Football-Buck-Crazy-Crazier-Demise/dp/0544454383 Maybe I should read a book about Metroid next.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Also the merger stuff with the CFL is dead as it never made any drat sense. No idea how it would have even worked. The markets that would interest the XFL (Toronto and Vancouver) would care even less about the XFL than they do about the CFL. And the places that care about the CFL are places that the XFL wouldn’t want either due to market size, travel or both. And those places would bail hard on an Americanized game. Maybe Montreal would work?

The CFL has real fans and a real history, it would frankly be a spit in the face of those fans to merge with a joke league.

Who could have guessed that the guy that couldn't buy a partnership in the Vikings in 2005 and defaulted on his minority ownership in the team, wouldn't be able to help finance a football league.
