Doesn’t have anything to do with XFL, from what I’ve seen. There are some investors questioning Vince’s workload, but the stock tanked because he fired the CFO and CEO and the earnings outlook isn’t great compared to past years.
I heard on the radio today: This day in history, 2/10/1989, WWF admits in Federal Court that the matches are staged.

If he truly wants back in the NFL, he could show his talent. But I read this morning that the XFL has a no protesting during the anthem policy so

Yea the word is Vince wants no part of Kaep as he’d like to market this as Real Americans playing the game they love.

this iteration is getting a lot of press. is the NFL co-owner of the XFL now? everyone seems to be 'all about it' ... i havent watched a game but there seems to be a lot of promotion going on through the normally-NFL avenues ... which is fine because it's the middle of February and wtf else are we gonna watch, NBA regular season games?

we should find a way to merge the XFL and Curling into a sport as well

You should definitely watch one or both of tomorrow's games, but Curling is perfect just as it is

what are the notable 'new' things the XFL is doing that the NFL isn't doing, this time around?

I remember them trying to do a few things more different

which the NFL actually took notice of

sideline interviews during the games was one i think the NFL took from them

alternate field camera angles

locker room camera angles

shower room camera angles

all pretty novel stuff

For me, the access to the replay booth and what they are telling the referees is something the NFL should implement right away.
