USFL and XFL to merge

[Cdparr7]

What do we gotta do to get an expansion team? I’ll buy PSLs again.

mid football all stars.

Makes sense for both leagues, IMO. There's just not enough interest - to say nothing of decent players - to support two spring leagues.

These leagues just need to give this poo up already.  Its not going to happen. The NFL just needs to come up with some way to have a true minor league, NFL affiliated, farm system.

its no way for both of them would survive, their best chance is to be come one org then work as a farm system for the NFL.

That's cool. There was some good football to watch in the Spring. The XFL model seemed to work well with the season ending in time for players to attended training camps for NFL teams. And there were lots of players that got the invite and some signed to NFL squads. XFL is also a place for refs to train and transition as well. Overall, it's doing what the Rock and his business partners intended. Looking forward to see this play out.

Sign me up for a Week 1 match-up between the Michigan Panthers and the St. Louis Battlehawks

Thats honestly great.  Add some more teams, and make sure the season ends before NFL training camp.  I like it.

The NFL should come to some kind of farm team agreement so that players can play some spring ball to get experience and develop, then transition to NFL camps.  It just makes sense, but the NFL doesn't want to dilute their brand....Exhibit A - Zach Wilson.  Exhibit B - 2022 Carolina Panthers QB play...  Oh wait?

I just want an expansion team to the Carolina’s with an owner whose name isn’t David Tepper. Maybe the Navarro guy who bid against him could.

Well they also don't want to foot the bill for developmental football. They have it for free currently in college. Why would they change that?

The NFL should invest in them, supply talent.
