bowz Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I thought a few more guys would have got a shot (and maybe they still will). Specifically Elijah Blades and Quian Williams.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically Elijah Blades and Quian Williams.. Blades had some baggage, but definitely surprised that Quian and Jahmin Muse didn't get any action. With both XFL and USFL now, I wonder if more guys like them have a chance to prove themselves for next season. Will be interesting to see the turnover in those leagues each year as a whole new "class" becomes available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowz Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Bessent was not signed after the Chicago Rookie camp... The Bills signed a few player after their Rookie camp but it appears that Patterson was not signed. Former Bulls, Kyle Vantrease got a couple looks with the Colts and Buccaneers and Eric Black with the Giants. I'm not seeing that either were signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game in Detroit drew less than a MAC Championship game. The game in Birmingham yesterday may have 100 people in the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKBullsfan Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 General take on those other football leagues like the XFL and USFL…why do people/owners think those leagues are ever a good idea to start? Do they really think they’ll make money and bring in a ton of fans? Seems like a failure every time when we give them 1 or 2 seasons then they’re done and then some other dumb owner repeats the same failure again. If it’s not the NFL or College FB it’s not going to do well. Not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s not the NFL or College FB it’s not going to do well. Not rocket science. The original USFL was actually making it as a spring football league. Then a moron forced the league to sue the NFL for violation of the Anti-Trust laws. The league won $1.00 which was trebled all the way up to $3.00. That same moron just lost a $5,000.000.00 jury verdict in the same court last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just hubris. Besides, Putin was only a mid-level KGB intelligence officer in 1985. Edited May 17, 2023 by promotherobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN/ABC with the XFL, and Fox/NBC with the USFL. They want the content. Then there's gambling. I don't know if both leagues continue separately or merge at some point but spring football is here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted a hundred maybe fans in the seats at a recent game and I think it was their Super Bowl game too. Plus who would gamble on this level of football? I give it one more year before they shut it down and replace spring football with Cornhole for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had more than a few hundred people there. 22,754 was the announced attendance. https://xflboard.com/xfl-attendance/ Maybe you were watching the USFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USFL is now a second rate spring league, becasue XFL got the head start this year and timed the schedule better with the NFL off-season schedule. I do think there is only room for one spring league, and XFL has much better backers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
