The XFL

[Ubeja Vontell]

Bronko Nagurski was a pro wrestler? Cool, for what promotion? And did he use his real name?

His real name would be a draw ,and he was an NWA World Champion. He was big in the biz.


Legendary bout.





The original thunder and lighting RB combo was the powerhouse Nagurski and The Galloping Ghost Red Grange in that Chicago Bears backfield.

Did find Kermit Whitfield who was one of the nations fastest HS sprinters once upon a time.

Why do these generic programs even bother trying to be successful?

We all know what's going to happen very shortly. They are going to shut down like they always do.

Johnny Manziel took a shot at the XFL on Friday night when asked on Twitter if he would be playing in the new professional football league which begins on Saturday.

“ComebackSZN still alive if y’all ain’t know,” Manziel tweeted. “Just not playing for another league that’s going to fold on you midway through the season.”

Manziel — who played two games for the Memphis Express in the Alliance of American Football last spring before the league folded — said he will be OK if he never plays football again.

“If I never pick up a ball again it’s all love. I was the most lit, most relatable college football player to ever do it,” he tweeted. “Did things my way and made it way further than I ever could of imagined. The game gave me life and I’ll forever be grateful.

Lmao what a douchebag.
White America loved this guy.
If he was black, he wouldn’t have even had as many chances as Manziel.

Manziel is the epitome of white privilege, and even with it his dumb arse couldn’t stay in the NFL. Worthless human being.

Oh, and XFL will last not even 2 months dude. Let’s be real. People are watching NBA now. Don’t know why they still try with this...

I was planning to watch last weekend and missed it. Forgot, like I'm sure many did. It's hard to make room in one's mind that there's football when the NFL season is over.

The Dallas game drew over 17,000 people to the old baseball park. Don't know if they make money on that number but as usual it's all about the tv deals.

Regarding Manziel, his family come from oil money in a small town in East Texas. Privileged for sure.

USFL 2.0 we all know how that turned out.
