Especially the undefeated Houston Roughnecks who were led by former CFL head coach June Jones. “If you stack up Houston against any other team, in any other league, I think only an NFL team would beat them. That includes the CFL,” Galko told ESPN reporter Kevin Seifert. Them's fightin' words. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they have 11 players and we get 12, sounds fair to me. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 “I’m tell y’all right now.. I’m not leaving the CFL to go play in the XFL.. although the Rock seems more trustworthy , CFL has been around for 100 years and XFL has failed twice. I love the CFL & it’s some real competition up North!” - Vernon Adams Jr. Eternal optimist, Blueandgold and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is just the "face of the franchise"... his financial commitment is probably limited... if the headline says "redbird capital buys the XFL" no one cares...

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Considering the money pit this league will be to relaunch for the third time, $15 million isn't a lot of cash invested. The AAF lost $200 million & the XFL was on its way to the same thing when Covid 19 struck & saved the league from more embarrasment. Crowds were shrinking & viewership was down considerably from the start of the season to when it ended. McMahon could see the writing on the wall & wanted no part of it anymore.
