XFL 3: Do you smell what the league is cooking?

[on_the_edge]

This time the Rock is involved, as part owner, and the NFL is working with them. I am glad because the second attempt was off to a good start. It was crushed because of COVID, not anything they did wrong.

I was really enjoying the XFL in 2020 before Covid hit. I was pulling for the Seattle Dragons (cool logo, LOL). Glad to see it's coming back! I'll be rooting for the Michigan Panthers in the USFL as well!

Yea I went to a Tampa XFL game and it was a lot of fun. I really feel if not for COVID it would still be going in that form. I was thinking about checking out a Tampa Bandits game in the USFL, hopefully against the Panters, but found out they are playing all games in the league in AL. Hopefully if things go well, they will have actual home games next season.

XFL has a TV home

If the St. Louis Battlehawks are still in the XFL, I'll be watching.

[Vegas]

The XFL announced it is returning to Las Vegas (the Las Vegas Outlaws were an original XFL team) as one of its 8 cities for its upcoming season.

Damn, I was hoping for Tampa. Orlando is about the same distance from me as Tampa and actually offers more things I like but I know where Tampa played. Have to figure out where Orlando will be playing and how to get there.

[Vegas]

former Raider and Hall of Famer Rod Woodson will be the coach for the Las Vegas franchise which has begun discussions to play its games at Allegiant Stadium (where the Las Vegas Raiders play their home games.) I hope they bring back the Outlaws for their team name.

I'll give this a look see, but the USFL for me this year was meh and so I'm skeptical on a 3rd attempt with the XFL. I am though enjoying the CFL again and The Indoor Football League is pretty fun, they're in the playoffs and headed for the championship this month...

Great to see St. Louis back in the XFL. I hope they keep the Battlehawks name. It pays tribute to the city's history of building military aircraft.

Plus, if you turn the logo upside down, it reads STL. How cool is that?

Besides, fans can continue to chant Ka-Kaw during games. Ka-Kaw Is The Law!
