Kneel Off in the XFL

All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

Well, you'll only be punishing yourself pretending to enjoy bad football. I'd recommend just watching more movies or reading instead.

You prefer college to the NFL. The worst XFL team will still beat the best college team, so the point your making is moot.

LMAO. Keep dreaming. Better coaching, better athletes, better atmosphere, better everything in college by a mile. Vince's after-church league will be so cute. :lol:

Just don't wear it in public. You'll look like a walking MAGA bumper sticker. :lol:

Better action every week than in the NFL in spite of a week or two of scheduled blowouts, this season it wasn't even close. Very touching seeing you run to the defense of Vince's after-church league though. You and Jason can be the two XFL fans in the workd, will be so cute. :lol:

It will moderately compete with the NFL. Would lol for the rest of my life if it pulls a WCW and takes over.

No, it won't. Smart of Vince to rally the brand around the MAGA snowflakes, but it's lipstick on a pig. First week of ratings will be passable, then people will realize it's horrible football and stop caring.

The NFL might trample over it and use it as a D-league for scrubs and bubble guys at best. That's the XFL's best hope.

I would never count on Vince failing. Consider for a moment how wrestling was in the territory days and how he took over the entire industry.

Even a succcess will at best mean a steady supply of horrible football. The only redeeming thing about the league would have been the wrestling-like hijinks and gimmick galore. Vince's target demographic with this is a group who will pretend to like watching bad football while pretending to not watch the NFL. Not a stable foundation.

I can tell you I quit watching the NFL and have become the guy who everyone wants to talk to about the sport, but realize I know all of three or four players on the team I would call my favorite through osmosis of my surroundings.

I will probably watch the first week of xfl and never watch again for the same reasons. I don't have any grudge against the NFL like I do with college football. If I have an agenda, it is being a Vince fan. I think it will be interesting to see how he applies what he learned.

No cheerleaders this time around. Vince is selling a wholesome, after-church league this time.

Like Foo, because I regard Vince as a legend among Gods, I will be watching. I do hope he puts on a better on-the-field product this time around. This is where I think his PG-oriented stance could have benefit, not so much with wrestling.

Also to off-shoot, how has Vinny Mac only had 1 sexual misconduct allegation so far? With that shit spreading like wildfire, I expected him and wrestling in general to be consumed. The man knows how to keep shit under wrap, I tell you what...
