    World and Sports are totally different today.

    Streaming these games on Amazon? Don't need ESPN or networks, right?

    If they get some smarts dudes, take a bit more time to come up with a solid plan, I think it could work.

                              McMahon and Trump are buddies. Trump even called to check in on Vince when his limo was blown up.

                                          I don't see a retread of the XFL working. Even arena football is falling apart, and at least they have a gimmick. Without a gimmick the XFL will just be minor league NFL, and I can't see a minor league product drawing major league dollars.

                                                Oh I GUARANTEE there's a storyline this season in the XFL that a team will be forced to FORFEIT a game because someone kneeled during the anthem. It's an absolute LOCK!

                                                This league will be FULL of nonsense like this, dirty refs, illegal plays, fake injuries, it's going to be a huge show! And the ratings will go through the roof.

                                                  The referees should turn their backs at strange opportune moments and miss illegal plays by the underdog but turn around right as they’re walking into the end zone.

                                                        If they focus on football and lose the WWE thing they'll be fine.

                                                          Exactly. Can we bet on it? If yes then go.

                                                            I agree. The USFL was fun. Jim Kelly in Houston. Reggie White on Memphis. I met George Allen one time at the last Championship game.

                                                            I'd like to see that model back.

                                                              NFL has left its backside open by moving out of NFL markets and not moving into others. There are plenty of places to play high level football at prices cheaper than the NCAA pays for players which is now $1 million per starter. There are also networks that would televise the games and lines to be bet on.

                                                              They put on bowl games in empty stadiums. There are plenty of markets available to sell out.

                                                              There are also markets available to move right into the NFL. Just getting one team in the NFL would make the league worth it and it is easily doable if they just play high level AAA football and do not try to compete with the NFL.

                                                              But if you have NFL markets and NFL caliber talent, the league will eventually reach parity with the NFL and become part of it.

                                                              USFL level football would be a hit and there were All Pros that came out of the USFL. Sam Mills and Nate Newton are two off the top of my head, not including the big names that they paid up for.

                                                              But you have to be smarter than Vince McMahon. He will fail again by having a stupid league.

Without a gimmick the XFL will just be minor league NFL, and I can't see a minor league product drawing major league dollars.
                                                                The NFL could use a minor league for QB development. It depends whether McMahon wants to work with the NFL or compete against them. If he tries to compete against them again he'll lose again. Either way it's going to be a minor league product for minor league dollars.
