Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson part of group that buys XFL

[RunKC]

For a reported $15 million.

Gonna be interesting to see what his ideas are to revive it

[ThaVirus]

He's really taking his role in Ballers seriously

[tyecopeland]

Maybe they'll take in all the pac 10/12 players.

[Buehler445]

I didn’t know ol Vince is selling.

[Shaid]

If they can make it work, that's not much compared to what the revenue could turn into.

[loochy]

lol @ $15 million


dude

[wheeler08]

I didn’t watch any games, but I think the fans got more media coverage than the games

[ChiliConCarnage]

15 million. Oof :doh!:

I still think theres something to an alternate football league as an afterlife for popular college players who couldn't make it in the NFL. In non nfl markets. Cardale should have played for a columbus team. Landry Jones should have played for OKC. Manziel is perfect for this type of league.

[chiefzilla1501]

I also think coaches should think way outside the box. AAF were too true to the NFL way. Pocket QBs are painful to watch. Bring in athletic QBs and run something crazy. These are the type of QBs who can never make it in the NFL but would be hella fun to watch against this type of competition.

Well that league has officially hit Rock Bottom

[The Franchise]

If anyone can get that league to work....it would be him.

[RINGLEADER]

Only way a spring football league works is if it is tied to NFL teams. I would root for the Kansas City _______ or the _______ Chiefs. I don’t care two wits about the St. Louis Rampage or Portland Predators. A real farm team for the NFL could work though where practice squad guys and lower-tier players could have playing time.

The NFL smells what The Rock is cooking.

If it weren't for COVID, the XFL part 2 would probably still be around. The really did a good job presenting their product, like showing what the replay official is looking at and explaining what they are looking for during a disputed call.

This is really great and nice to see the NFL leaning in. Xfl is a great way to try wild and crazy tech things the NFL can borrow. The international league component is also outstanding. In the future I would LOVE for other countries to be able to field a national team. Rather than these dumb international games on an nfl schedule, the way better play is for B teams to play international teams in "friendlies."
