One topic of interest during the episode was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s recent acquisition of the XFL, which Crowder feels is incapable of competing against the NFL. “The thing is that when you look at tiers of stuff, there’s tiers to athletes [as well],” the former defensive stalwart explains. “So, if you’re good enough to play in the NFL, you’re gonna play in the NFL. So, it’s gonna be 21 people on that field that are the best in the world. Perfect example, you’re watching the best in the world and you know if anybody in the XFL can play in the NFL, they wanna go get that money, so it’s gonna be the second tier of players. When the first XFL [launched], the quality of play, it wasn’t NFL and we’ve been so stuck on the NFL, you can’t get the NFL in any other league. I think that big, thick, motherfu&&ing Samoan wasted all his god damn money.”
Fan of the XFL from the beginning. You may remember me from the original XFLboard.

Channing Crowder says Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is throwing his money away on the XFL because it can’t compete with the NFL.

The XFL is NOT competing against the NFL, the point made is moot.
They are competing against NCAABB, NHL and NBA with MLB at the end. Ratings for the XFL showed they can compete and did quite well.

Channing Crowder doesn’t get it.
Actually, with Hennemania running wild for at least a short time he ended up being pretty prophetic even if just coming out of his shell.
The near-first down scramble and fourth and 1 pass heard around the world recalls Crowder going off on LeRon McClain after the game in Baltimore in 2010. The Dolphins QB that day? Chad Henne.

Imo none of the spring leagues are fighting the NFL or even the other sports, they’re fighting the perception of being minor league or bush league
