HE IS ALWAYS WRONG lol

This goes back to his argument with Winnipeg Sports fans about naming the Winnipeg hockey franchise '' THE JETS'' again in 2011.

This goes back to the hiring/firing of Blue Bombers or Jets coaches.

ETC ETC ETC
He could be Gary42 that used to post on Arenafan about whatever small town with an arena should be next when they bring the AFL back (4th'll get the reference)😁

Gary hasn't had a CFL insider or source in five years. He's just spitballing and hoping it sticks.

And on the topic of the XFL playing 2021 while only having three months to organize it all. There's a lot of hopeful minds out there on other forums hoping another spring league start up, the MLFB, is going to play in June with only three months to set it up. :lol:

Sometimes we blind ourselves with hope.

3 months ? hell no

they bought the league in August. XFL had a bubble plan, my hybrid bubble plan was even simplier.

Hey why invest $30-40 million to keep the league relevant. FB doesnt get big tv money anyway...

I just don't think the league can afford to miss a 2nd season.
