I haven't read the article yet...
but I assume that they completely trash all the players and coaches, lament their decision to ever get involved, and announce that they're bailing out now before they hemorrhage more money.

Re: USATODAY: DJ, DG on XFL
DJ and Dany talked about making though the halfway point of the season, how things are looking up, how the broadcasting in the next games includes more ABC and ESPN, and how there will be a 2024 season.
That is all well and good, and I believe that is the correct message. But, I know the XFL has a ways to go, especially with the quality of the game, promotions and officiating. They know they cut corners to get to this point, and they were behind, but they are catching up. That being said, they have to work even harder in the second half of this season to finish as a winner.

Re: USATODAY: DJ, DG on XFL
What else did you expect? Maybe things really are going according to plan and meeting expectations. Spring football has failed in one way or another for 40 years now, people are skeptical and they spent all of $125k on digital marketing the first 6 weeks of 2023. Like the USFL last year, year one is basically a beta test for all intents and purposes. Finish out the year strong, see what works and what didn't (Vegas, QB play) and improve from there.4th&long wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:01 amLOL exactly.CFLfan_inPhilly wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 9:30 am I haven't read the article yet...

Like I stated I was expecting a new nugget or two. Maybe the ESPN+ numbers or further channel swaps for example.laxtreme56 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:51 amWhat else did you expect?

Actually your last sentence was more informative than their comments.

A return in 2024 doesn't surprise me at all. Whether or not all 8 current teams return though seems unlikely.

Saying in week 6 they will return next season doesn't surprise me at all. Hopefully doesn't change after the championship. All up to RBC. The economy isn't helping.

I will be surprised if RBC pulls out after one season. I have long believed that they will only pull out if they believe they can get an NFL team and they are not in the running for the Commanders.
