Read that McMahon will be the owner of every team. One of his ideas was this: "Maybe in a certain city having the old college quarterback would make sense, but only if he's the best option," McMahon said. This, of course, could mean Q leading a potential Tampa franchise. I do like that they will be taking a gimmick-free approach this time around. Orlando is interested in a franchise as well. Kind of curious to hear some opinions on this....

He thinks streaming services will give it a better chance this time around. Odds are definitely against it doing well, but who knows...

Yes. 

Vince is just financing it not making up the rules. They are planning it for 2 years before they play, not 2 months. There is a very conservative base of people who have fled the NFL for many reasons and he is looking to capitilize on this market. 

 

I still think it should be an U25 league and he should go after top prospects from the NCAA.

I agree!   An 18-25 league would probably have the best chance of succeeding

"XFL" and "Family Friendly" don't mesh

I was curious how the reception would be in todays PC, CTE culture. I personally thought he was going to go full WWE with it but they are really playing it a different way.

While the press conference was woefully uninformative and lame, the branding can absolutely work. The extreme will just focus on the football instead of the gimmicks. I personally hope they tack all of the innovative ideas people have thrown out to make the game better, and create a product that is viable. This would give more opportunity for fringe players to make a buck, push the NFL to do better, and create an entertainment platform in the sports lull between the Super Bowl and the NHL playoffs.

Dont think Tampa would be a good option with the Bucs here.  Orlando makes sense though.

It's all about the quality of the football being played.  If it's bad football it will fail.......  If they make this a league to please a certain demographic of fan's sensibilities and not just try to put the best product on the field it will fail.....  This won't last more than 2 years......

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
