GSG Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I just don't understand what's going to be different about it. The last time around it was "X-treme" with some of their bonkers rules, but they aren't going to get away with those type of stunts now Quote Link to comment

I could be wrong on both, but I think they are trying to target players who can't be in the NFL yet. For instance, Waddle, Jeudy and Tua from Alabama could say, I'm done playing for free and be eligible to play in the XFL instead of having to wait to play in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 There have been so many attempts at creating a new football league....sorry.....it's destined to failure. There is no interest. Then, you have Vince McMahon involved....and.....well......he already presides over one fake league. Why take another one of his serious? Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 A 3-point conversion? The XFL has some interesting ideas for its new league Quote A 3-point conversion? Even the 1-point conversion will not be traditional in the XFL. That conversion won’t come on an extra-point kick, but a play from the 2-yard line. The 2-point conversion is moved back to the 5-yard line, Luck told PFT. And PFT said the new 3-point conversion will be from the 10. Luck told PFT that the league considered moving it to the 15, but settled on the 10. That adds intrigue and strategy after touchdowns. The XFL, as it was before, apparently won’t be afraid to try new things. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I even did a search for XFL and could not find this thread so glad that I just happened to spot it. Pretty underwhelming first player signing imo. Especially for a brand new league. Quote Link to comment

Ulty Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 We should start a pool to predict when this league will make the inevitable announcement that they are folding. I'll say July 2020. Quote Link to comment
