N/S Your take on the XFL

I misunderstood your point, I thought you were insinuating a “never” situation.

My pipe dream is getting back at Goodell and I’m jealously guarding my XFL messiah lol

I am the one insinuating a "never" situation because I feel it is financially impossible for the XFL ever build enough capital to approach the level required to attempt to compete. The NFL ownership is made up of 32 individuals (more or less with Green Bay) that each have more money than the single owner of the entire XFL. When the AFL challenged the NFL some 60 years ago the difference in financial stability was not that great. It was structured in relatively the same manner. To a lessor degree, the same could be said for the USFL, but the difference was great enough that it gave the NFL an edge that the USFL could not overcome. Today the NFL is so ingrained in every way that any hope to compete directly is impossible. The XFL's only chance at survival is to co-exist live off the scraps left by the NFL.

The XFL looks like it may take a hit soon as I just heard a report that the NFL is trying to bring Dean Blandino back into the fold. Al Riveron has botched officiating since Blandino's departure. The pass interference rule was a disaster in the way it was handled. Talk is that bringing Blandino back could save the rule.
