The problem with the kick off rule is you can no longer have a surprise on side kick.
Good point.

The AHL is the best minor league in professional sports...........................and a team is coming to Henderson, Nv.
Hopfully they are named the SILVER KNIGHTS
This sounds like a good idea except you are then going to have players going from the spring season to the NFL season which most surely is going to be too much wear and tear on the body. These minor league guys are going to love the chance of being on a 53 man roster and will sacrifice their bodies for a league minimum contract. This could mean they play 8 games in the spring, 4 preseason, and then 16 regular season games for a 28 game year. Nobody's ready for that type of beating.I always thought the perfect business model for another pro football league... A minor league to the NFL. That plays in the spring. Just like the XFL is now.
8 teams. Each NFL division is represented in 1 team. For example, the NFC West would be the LA Wildcats. The AFC West would be the Seattle Dragons.
Every player in the league would ultimately be the property of an NFL team.
This would tie into the interest of die hard NFL fans. They get to watch their guys. Guys that might one day help the NFL team they cheer for.

There are only a handful of guys that are practice players for each team.Not really. In my idea, this would be a league full of the same types of talent/players in the current XFL. How many of those guys just got done with the NFL season? Zero right?
These would be practice squad type players. The guys that MAYBE get put on the active roster once or twice throughout the season. There would need to be some sort of cap/cutoff for the minor league eligibility. Any player appearing in more than 1 or 2 games is not eligible for the spring season.
A true developmental league full of guys trying to get some experience and improve their skill sets in hopes of working their way into a full time NFL roster.
also we would see guys that would play in the nfl season and maybe there were a special teamer and might want more reps in the developmental league. wr, rb would be a clear shot.Not really.

Entire blog on the XFL?
Was expecting a few paragraphs on the NCAA Wrestling landscape as we head towards the Nationals.

If done right, I could see this develop into a longer term relationship with a lot more players technically under contract to NFL teams. They could expand the draft back up to 12 rounds and NFL teams would send their roster cuts to the XFL team's organization for longer term preparation if they weren't on the limited practice squad. Really a lot of options that are win win, but the NFL tends to be greedy and the XFL investors probably don't want to cap their long term potential either.
By the way, I love amateur wrestling.
I was defeated in high school by Michael Foy at 155 pounds during my sophomore year at Thornwood High School in South Holland, Illinois.
One important factor in favor of the rebooted XFL: (Dare I say it?) The Trump economy.
To this point, and I haven't seen it mentioned, the XFL currently has a 9th team that doesn't play in games, but practices and provides game ready bodies to replace injured players. The players on team 9 are absorbed by the other 8 teams after the 5th (i think) game. Smart way to keep depth for the league.
Lock, should be -600 over the jew socialist or the homo mayorTrump offered this morning at -172 (CRIS) to win the 2020 Presidential election.
"To win 10K" is the limit.
Typical LA just like when the LA KISS had an Arena team in each of the 4 corners of the end zone they had "dancers" in cages a good 70+ feet above the ground dancing around a pole. They got lowered at halftime and I vividly recall before each one got lifted up someone put a "handcuff" around the pole in the cage and another around their ankle just in case something happened to keep them from falling a good 70+ feet to what almost certainly would have been their death
Where's Kappy?

no KY Derby Pool 2 comments either.
He wanted 20 million....lol
Do I have this correct? You didn't try out for the basketball team, but instead wrestled?
Was that a sophomore match or a varsity? Did you wrestle all four years, and if so, how many were on varsity?
good point about only 1 money manAs long as Vince stays FAR away, and only provides the $$$, the league will be viable. I was impressed with week 1. Some interesting rules, broadcasts were good, gambler friendly for the most part. Not trying to be something they're not. Was talked about a good deal on the local WFAN talk shows.
AAF was working, but their money men were corrupt liars. Here, only one money man and he has deep pockets.
No chance to make the varsity basketball team.
Zero years of varsity wrestling.
I went out for the sophomore wrestling team after I got cut from the football team.
Wanted to earn a letter for the jacket.
No chance to make the varsity basketball team.
No player on our high school team ever suffered from a sunburn, if you know what I mean.

also like that their is no fake stars like their is in NFL, Eli Manning the epitome of a fake star.
Was that Thornton? I remember they had basketball team in the mid 90s where 3 future NFL players and 1 future NBA player made up 4/5 of starting lineup. They lost in state semifinal to Kevin Garnett's Faragut team.
At one point, Thornton had more players in the NFL than any other HS.

What position did you try out for on the sophomore (I presume) football team?
Did you try out for the freshman basketball team?
Fake? He will be a Hall of Famer....
Tight end.
I got cut in favor of Dan Gibson whose father owned Gibson Chevrolet.
Coach O'Connor drove a Chevy.
Solve by inspection.
I was clearly superior to Gordon.
Welcome to the real world.
Eli is a cinch Hall-of-Famer.
Not enough attention is paid to the name of the shrine.
Hall-of-FAME.
Eli is famous.
Eli Manning, not brother Peyton, played David to Tom Brady's Goliath not once, but twice.
Didn't the team need more than one tight end?
