I hear it is set for 2020 and might be called UFL (United Football League). Should be interesting to say the least. Hoping they can capitalize on the mistakes the NFL is making. I used to like the no kick offs in the XFL, just a scrimmage for the ball. His slogan could be: "Let's make Football Great Again" lol. Less penalties, harder hitting, fewer replays, etc. Thoughts?
XFL 2.0: Vince McMahon’s company teases “major sports announcement”XFL 2.0: Vince McMahon’s company teases “major sports announcement”

Vince McMahon’s plans to give the XFL a second try appear closer than ever, with a “major sports announcement” set for today.
Alpha Entertainment, the sports business McMahon funded by selling $100 million of WWE stock, today said it will have a major announcement at 3 p.m. Eastern. That announcement will be another attempt at starting a professional football league, according to ESPN.
McMahon launched the XFL for one season in 2001. Despite enormous attention and high ratings for its first game, it was not successful and didn’t last beyond that year.
But McMahon has always been tempted to try it again and now he’s going to. The full details will be announced later today, but suffice to say he thinks there’s room for another pro football league in America.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
