Wade Phillips must just love coaching. The guy is 75 years old, go hang out, spend your money, and play Fortnite or whatever.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I feel as though I'm morally obligated to follow my plan for the XFL and AAF to bandwagon teams from cities which had NFL teams yanked recently, so let's go St. Louis Battlehawks, gently caress Kroenke.

It would be really cool to have one of these leagues pull their identity from the early teams, instead of the focus group tested BattleWarCats or whatever.

You're saying there is for XFL stuff?

I will say that the XFL is the perfect excuse for the wildest jersey designs possible. Just go crazy. Make the football equivalent of Zubaz pants.

3 teams in Texas, with teams in St Louis, Orlando and Vegas. Oh so they are trying to be regional to save expenses on traveling.

Also a team in DC and Seattle.

WTF?

A team in San Diego would have at least made more sense then Seattle.

Isn't this version of the xfl being treated as a development league for the nfl? I seem to remember reading that somewhere

Closest article I can find is a hand wavy agreement with the NFL to share “insights and best practices” that either league comes up with. I think the AAF had designs on being a more explicit feeder/development league. But it turned out to be a huge Ponzi scheme that never actually had any money behind it so welp

Its main legacy was giving us the chance to watch Hackenberg play pro ball for which I will be forever grateful

football.

"These are two great signal-callers coming to Orlando. Deondre is a hometown Orlando kid who’s a scheme-versatile quarterback with the ability to do it all. He’s played in pro-style offenses and spread-based offenses. He throws a great ball and brings a winning mentality. Quinten is a big, physical quarterback who can sling the ball and has a lot of upside. His versatility and ability to dissect defenses is pretty special. We’re looking forward to watching them compete and continue to develop."

hell yeah
