XFL Do over
« on: August 22, 2019, 10:07:55 AM »
Team locations and names announced.  

Eight teams pulling players from NFL cut lists.  In the middle of the al.com story unveiling the locations and logos, guess what you'll find? 

https://www.al.com/sports/2019/08/xfl-reveals-team-names-awaits-nfl-cuts.html

A heart-warming story about the 443rd resurrection of NFL great Trent Richardson's career.  You know, the same Richardson who looked like chunky sludge for the dregs of the AAF's Birmingham Iron. There is at least one consolation, though.  As long as the same fools that paid him to play at Bama are supporting him and funding these continuous futile attempts to play football he's not drawing welfare checks.  Because a year or two away from this goofy pursuit, that's exactly where he'd be.  He and his family would return to the same abject poverty from which they came and where they subsist on peanut butter and day old bread. Except for the days when they get paid to sign jerseys at T-Town Tom's.  

I will be far less interested in this league if some recycled dud like Richardson is on a roster.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

These constant attempts to revive these B Leagues are ridiculous.  They're novelty for about 2 weeks and then nobody gives a rip.  I would much rather watch a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday MAC game where countless dozens are huddled up in freezing temps to watch Bowling Green take on Toledo.  (I have no clue if either of those are in the MAC)

Here's what I liken this XFLAAFNFL to.  I was watching the ESPINS the other day and on the little scroll at the bottom it said, "WNBA announces All Star Game reserves."

I knew at that moment that if I had any interest in that particular subject, it might be time to put the revolver in my mouth because life is basically over.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

It will fail because it failed before, no one gives a fuck.  My suggestion (that I still think would fail) would be to have teams only draft players from the surrounding areas.  At least then you might have some interest from College fans who are watching Joe "couldn't make it in the NFL but hes a bammer" Smith

By these rules, the B'ham team would kick arse.

That is exactly what the Alliance did?

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
