    Of course, it could depend on who played for a Cleveland XFL team.   Note:  two of the name players I mention above are NEOhio products:  Cardale Jones of Glenville, Connor Cook of Walsh Jesuit played HS ball here.  That could promote some enthusiasm. 

    And if Mitch Trubisky does not get his act together, he could be headed for an XFL career perhaps.

    I'd rather just watch the BUCKEYES than a bunch of stiffs that couldn't even make an NFL taxi squad......hey maybe some were really driving taxis!   😆

    ....or Uber guys.

    The Buckeyes don't play between Feb. and April....unless you are talking the basketball, wrestling or or women's volleyball.  And what says you cannot do both?  You spend a good part of your day as an invalid watching sports.  You could watch the XFL as well as those other winter sports. No Winter Olympics this year.

    Relax junior I've been retired for 32 years now and don't have enough hours in the day. Besides who needs "fake" sports it would be like discussing the old defunct AAFC.

  • It would be nice to have a NFL developmental league(s) similar to the minor leagues in MLB; but methinks that the XFL ain't it.

    So, again, if you have no interest in the Cleveland Browns...why are you here?

    Unless it gets a boatload of money from the NFL it won't last long.  Only one of the four American Football Leagues (1960-1969) had any real recent impact by getting absorbed into the NFL and starting the new current Superbowl era.  Here's a list should be close to the real thing so when does the new XFL get added to the list?  The American people have shown repeatedly that the NCAA and NFL are enough football.    I agree.

    Professional football.......buy your new XFL merchandise now, they might be collector's items.  😆

    The AAF thought it could be that.  Maybe the XFL will attempt to be.  They are supposed to be revising their model from the original ...to be more totally football oriented. Including not having the cheerleaders be more or less strippers, and no funny nicknames.

    Only 2 of those really count:   The ones that merged with the NFL, being the AAFC and the AFL..60-69 version.

    The quickly defunct AAF went under fast because they couldn't pay their bills or payroll or satisfy the long term contracts they entered into. (hard to remember because it was gone so fast)

    And yet most people only remember one because it was a good league and began the highly successful Superbowl era.  The other was about 70 years ago and wasn't really a success and even old geezers like you and I can not remember it.....and I'm only 69.

    Oh and it died, nobody else really cares, the records are not even in the NFL HOF.......let it rest in peace. It's totally dead and gone.

    Well....the Cleveland Browns are not gone, the San Francisco 49ers are not got....the Baltimore Colts are gone...but just to Indy.

    Again....if you hate the Browns and wish to constantly denigrate their history, their chances.... why are you even on here?

    The Baltimore Colts that came from the AAFC has nothing to do with the Baltimore Colts that became the Indianapolis Colts.

    That is correct...technically.

    Some however have this theory that the Colts can actually trace their lineage back to I think, the Dayton Triangles.

    How to get from Dayton to Indianapolis by way of Brooklyn, Boston, New York, Dallas, Hershey and Baltimore

    2. Boston Yanks (1944), Yanks (Merger with Brooklyn, 1945), Boston Yanks (1946-48). End of NFL franchise.
    3. New York Bulldogs (1949), New York Yanks (1950-51). End of NFL franchise.

    It is  very much a stretch....but there is that theory.

    I think a lot of the guys that may play there are no longer eligible for the NFL Practice Squads.  Thus, they have to make an active roster....or hit the streets.  Here is a place for them to land.

    i kind of lost interest in these secondary football leagues when the usfl ....the one where sipe went to jacksonville....and  it died...at least they had some nfl players that had a yr or 2 left in the gas tank......since then....eh, not interested....and if the nfl does not do something about these refs and some of the new rules,  i may lose interest....getting close for me...i know alot of folks i grew up with stopped watching...so we talk about music mostly....
