Turpin should get NFL interest, unless his off the field stuff scares NFL teams to where he's nuclear.

Based on Ticket sales? And to push fans into the middle?
If it's based on ticket sales, it's not a good sign. Hopefully attendance issues can be fixed in 2023. I would assume that the NFL Hall of Fame game will almost be sold out.

Aren’t attendance issues mostly a factor of not playing in the home city?
Fan of the XFL from the beginning. You may remember me from the original XFLboard.

Would it be that far off to suggest that Johnnie Dixon would be a local draw?

Granted he was the fourth receiver his last year at OSU and is the second or third option with NOLA (though that moves up depending on Adams' status) but it's not totally out of the question is it?

I think its also VERY hard to sell 1 ticket to two games with a 5 hour start time gap. To stay for both that's an 8 hour plus commitment. NOT Likely.

Not liking that last series of play calling DJ slipping didn't help. They are not used to that field. If it rains next week... look out.

Come on NJ HOLD ON!

the league can't rely on just the TV ratings (which have been solid). Sooner or later, they are going to need attendance to sustain for the long term.

Seems a thing with NJ teams not kicking it out of bounds against Philly
