Nobody is watching this shit at least until the NFL season ends. If McMahon wants to give it any shot, he'd start it the week after the Super Bowl. He'll have a small window. Come the second week of March, nobody is watching the XFL either.

The more I think about how it could work, the more I don't see the need for gimmicks. You don't think this would do well offseason in a market like Portland, OKC, Louisville, Austin, des Moines, etc...? Second rate talent isn't an issue for mls, usl, or minor league baseball. And the xfl proposal we are seeing so far looks nothing like what was proposed 20 years ago which I would agree would end in disaster. But a measured approach to treat this like a niche league might stand a pretty good chance.
