    So....now that Vince McMahon has made his announcement...what do you all think.   Some of my thoughts:

    A. As expected....he is going to  play ball.....really ...in the winter.     There will be 8 teams and they will play 10 games....starting in late January or early February.  If they began in early February....their season would be done in mid April.....so most of their games would be in winter.

    B. So, if they are going to play in winter, I guess it is fair to say that the league will only be a southern/dome league.  While as far as I am concerned, he would be smart to put a team in Northeast Ohio....I don't see him as being smart apparently.   

    C. So...what cities could he put teams in?   Perhaps those southern/western cities mentioned earlier?   Portland, Sacramento, San Antonio, Orlando. Birmingham etc.  Or will he just try to piggyback on current NFL cities.  Will he want the major markets of LA and NY...they all do.    Even if he does decide to put teams in the north/midwest....where can he put them?   Only like Detroit, Indy, and Minnesota have domes.  He could go into St. Louis.  He should.  I expect that since he is a showman in a phony sport at the moment he will probably want a team in Vegas.

          True. But as I said I think there could have been some demand if he had put teams to play in the fall and if he had put teams in cities like San Antonio, Portland, St. Louis, Memphis etc. Cities where there is now no NFL team

            I'd be more excited if they brought back NFL Europe.

            Anyway, any league that gives the opportunity to watch more football and find/rescue some valuable players is welcome.

                    Playing in the fall would be a horrible idea.  It's the same reason the usfl failed. You're not going to compete with NCAAF and the NFL head to head

                      The XFL returns with a new look and philosophu in 2020.

                      The NFL has become the thug league that the XFLonce was. The NFL has shot themselves in the foot catering to malignant protests, criminal players and political  posturing.

                      There is not one Browns fan who os proud of this franchise or enjoys football Sunday after the game.

                      Clearly the Browns franchise is at itxs lowest comparative value wince ot entered the NFL. Clearly it is makong more financial sense to fold tjos franchse, move it, and rename it. This is going to happen. I know it and so do you. This turdfest is not sustainable and no NFL exec looks into the league's future and sees Cleveland in it.

                      So why not be ahead of the game for a change? Why not be proactive? Shut Haslam down. Force hom to take this bag of schidt fake Browns team to another city.

                      Then, negotiate a deal and put an XFL team in Cleveland. Hell, call it the Browns. 

                      Think of it as a true rebirth of Paul Brown. Bring history and tradition to tjenew league and be the first XFL team to beat an NFL team.

                      Why continue this mental masturbation and suffer another rin at 0-16?

                      The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL

                              Yup.  Haslam has delivered a bad product.  To the fans and his customers.  Maybe he'll get to go to jail.  Then maybe his son in-law can meddle with the team.

                              The new league will be for NFL cast-offs and practice squad wanna-be's.

                                Ghoolie... you’re a smart guy. Certainly smart enough to realize money rules everything.

                                You really think one billionaire is going to beat out 32 billionaires? It’s not happening.

                                As for the political climate, Trump understands this truth. That’s why he knows the best way to save western civilization is to defund the left.

                                The owners are simply pandering to keep the masses happy. We as a country won’t always be this PC. This is coming from a millennial. My generation is waking up.

                                The NFL isn’t going anywhere. Neither are the Browns. The owners revenue share, plus back in the Jim Brown days, soldiers at war would listen to football and the only team ever on was the Browns. The soldiers went home Browns fans, and now there are Browns backers all over the nation.

                                    Make no mistake, the Cleveland Browns ARE in play. You read it from me first, the Browns ARE going to be moved.

                                    Better to accept the level of play. Think of it like the AAFC. The XFL will eventually join the NFL. It is an inevitability, and this is why the early investors into the new league are well represented by existing NFL team owners. The NFL will never expand again. HOWEVER................. absorbing a successful new league that is free of the ghetto bullschidt that is dragging the NFL into the toilet? NOW YA GOT SOMETHING. 

                                    Do you think the Browns will be able to beat an XFL team? I say perhaps they could be an 8-8 franchise against such competition.

                                      By 2020 the Cleveland Browns will be IN the SuperBowl. 

                                      We are going to be one of the most electric offenses in the NFL next season.

                                      Josh motherShmucking Gordon is BACK! How many games have we won since he was suspended? A handful. Him being back and getting his head on straight is going to be huge!!!

                                      Picking up say Saquon Barkley and say Baker Mayfield will make us an electric offense, with Coleman becoming a veteran player, when he stays healthy and gets it, he's going to go off. Very fast and elusive player, added to a young and hungry defensive team! You are selling this team short. Come on man, we are very close. Take your troubled heart and still it, reinforcement have arrived. The tides are turning. This season the fortunes of the Orange and Brown are changing like the leaves. Good times ahead. Promise. 

                                      The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain-

                                          Make no mistake, the Cleveland Browns ARE in play. You read it from me first, the Browns ARE going to be moved.

                                          Better to accept the level of play. Think of it like the AAFC. The XFL will eventually join the NFL. It is an inevitability, and this is why the early investors into the new league are well represented by existing NFL team owners. The NFL will never expand again. HOWEVER................. absorbing a successful new league that is free of the ghetto bullschidt that is dragging the NFL into the toilet? NOW YA GOT SOMETHING. 

                                          Do you think the Browns will be able to beat an XFL team? I say perhaps they could be an 8-8 franchise against such competition.

                                          ...and why?  Because they're not drawing enoughs fans?  In a city where the Browns are loved more than some spouses?

                                          It's not the city or the fans that are the problem.  It's the organization.  Moving the organization is not 'fixing' it.

                                          An NFL team can survive just fine in Cleveland.  But like any other city...the team has to WIN sometimes.  (it really is true that the Browns have some of the best fans in the league)

                                          BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE
