“Former XFL QB Jordan Ta'amu is signing with the #Chiefs, per agent @kenny_zuckerman.”
Great to see this
@Bren1117 I’m 99% sure that’s Jordan Lewis. CB for the Cowboys.
@vSyke lol thanks, I knew it wasn't Ta'amu.
Rip mahomes
Jordan starting
The XFL won’t last two more years. Their best players leaving does nothing for their business, but hurt it.
@Shayner except maybe,I don't know, allow them to recruit even better players?
Hey guys. Need an opinion if im insane for not already smashing accept on this trade. I would give up DJ Moore in exchange for Mclauren, the 1.09, 2.03 and 2.05. My other wr are Davante, Godwin, Lockett, Landry and Cooks. I obviously take the deal right???
You get Lauren + 3 picks? Hell yeah take it!!!
I also have the 1.04
We aren’t even sure just how sharp Bridgewater still is. Probably fine, but that’s a good deal. Bye Moore.
Its all about money for any XFL player, but that’s not going to help the league who needs to increase merchandise, ticket sakes and advertising sales enough to keep the league in business. The business model doesn’t work.
@Shayner it's essentially the same business model the NCAA is built on bruglio.
Its not even close! The NCAA has a tv deal worth 800 million dollars! The XFL gets nothing for playing their games on tv. Thats why the league won’t last. Like any other struggling business, you have to make enough $ to pay your bills and the XFL doesn’t and wint.
I don’t watch NCAA for the specific players, except for the good ones who will end up in the NFL. I watch NCAA for the football.. personally I could see how someone could take out “NCAA” in that sentence and replace it with “XFL”
Well you wrong
@Shayner you expect FOX or ESPN to pay big to air an unproven product? Eventually, once the product is proven to be a success, then they'll pay up. It sounds like you know nothing about business and will be shocked to hear that essentially no business make money in their first or even second year. Hell Tesla still hasn't turned a profit in this point in the company's life, and they're considered one of the biggest companies in the world right now.
I mean I’m not wrong! But yeah I also see your point which is that mainstream America does care about the superstar athletes, and if your league doesn’t have them it won’t ever match up with the NFL..
@Shayner excellent analysis there. "wElL yOu WrOnG"
I can’t attach the links here, but just google how much the NCAA gets for their tv rights and how much the XFL gets for their tv rights. Thats 800 million reasons why the NCAA will last and why the XFL wont.
In a world where major league lacrosse has existed for 20 years, why can’t this football league?
@Shayner refuted why that irrelevant in my previous comment. Learn to read.
XFL could ultimately make $50 million a year and be successful enough with that
Thats my point. Attendance will never get to the point where they will get money for their league to be on TV as a paid entity. TV ratings went down every week this XFL season. Look it up. You just assume it’ll be successful? It isn’t and it won’t be. Take a look at how much major league lacrosse plays their players and coaches compared to the XFL. The reason it can survive is because they pay their players nothing and they have little overhead. The XFL pays their players and coaches too much. They can't keep this up for more than three years.
