N/S USFL And XFL Are In Advanced Talks To Merge (1 Viewer)

[Saint Jack]

The NFL is about to get its developmental league.

 

[SAINTSFAN]

That is the smart move. Looking at the talent and the crowds, it only makes sense.

Finally something in this world that makes sense.

Buuuuuuut I'd run thr league almost concurrently with the NFL season...play on tuesday/wednesday or something...give guys a chance to jump to the NFL during the off-season and time to recover

So they're in 15 cities right now. If they have a league of 16 teams, that would make a really nice alternative league for the players as well as the fans.

Won’t work.
For one, it’ll be perceived as direct competition to the NFL and the new league won’t get any good time slots or a good deal with a network.

With the spring, they can get a great deal with a broadcast network because they have nothing for the weekend.

that had to be in the works - it makes the whole Birmingham thing make much more sense

I still find it funny that a “sport” like pickleball is more popular than the XFL/USFL. Come at me bro!!!

 

[B-Train]

Great move. I love both leagues and I think this is in their overall best interests.

Now what to call it?

 

[Saint Jack]

Not all teams will make the cut.

The USXFL has a ring to it

I was going to say the USFXL, lol.

 

[SaintKenKen]

What about SUXFL? Any takers?


In all seriousness, this is good news and hope they get it together

I always thought that the CFL makes the best “off season” league to follow. I remember that league expanding way to quickly into the US and nearly going out of biz. Maybe an approach now at a much slower pace would work?!

I as an NFL fan am just not into the newer want to be leagues. Maybe I’m getting so old I am missing something here.
