XFL season canceled

[maverick512000]

Ah the life of a Houston sports fan. Even if your team is doing good and is the best in their league either a cheating scandal or a worldwide BS virus that is to hype up an election year will take it away from you.

XFL season canceled due to coronavirus concerns

"All XFL ticket holders will be issued refunds or credit towards future games," read a statement.

Worst part is Walker played well enough that most likely some NFL team will pick him up and other teams will have figured out Jones offense so next season we will no doubt suck as bad as the rest of the league.

The bolded is something that always seems to happen to June Jones anyway. And I'm not surprised at the season being canceled given the situation. Sucks to be a Houston fan.

So..... are we the champions of the XFL now that the season has ended? Seems to me we should be.

Vince McMahon is a class act by agreeing to pay the players for a full season. I applaud you Vince McMahon and only hope that karma smiles back on you and the XFL when it starts season two.

As a long time WWE fan I can tell you Vinny Mac is first and foremost a business man. He knows that there is already talk about the players being under paid and then if they get short changed on top of that he will never attract the level of talent he will need to keep the league going. Now I'm not saying it wasn't the right thing to do but just because it was the right thing to do doesn't also mean it wasn't "what is best for business".

Thanks Roughnecks and XFl it was a fun adventure but it's sad to hear. Onward through the fog mates!

Glad I got out there Saturday.

Happy for you I was planning to go to Houston again this month and try to catch a game. Although plans to go to Houston are still there.

PJ Walker signed by the Panthers.

He deserves to be NFL signed performance was fantastic. Wished to had seen him next season with the Roughnecks or Texans but hey that's the way it is.

XFL suspends all operations, lays off employees

According to a prominent former XFL staffer who was on the call, Pollack stopped short of saying the league was going out of business. But the strong implication was clear. "It's done," the staffer said. "It's not coming back."

It's honestly a shame it had to end like this..

The WWE is hemorrhaging money, so it makes sense that they cut the XFL first.

Houston never lost a game.

Houston never lost a game.

I think that’s the first time that I have ever seen that sentence.

It'll also be the last time you'll ever see it. LOL

That's too bad. Roughnecks had a good name, a good uniform and helmet, and were exciting to watch.

Maybe when everything returns to normal.....way before next March, McMahon will have a change of heart and keep this new league operational.

 

[Lucky]

Who lasted longer? The XFL or the other league I can't remember the name of?

I think the other one lasted 2, maybe 3 weeks. XFL made it 5.

Lol.. Vince McMahon is thinking with his heart..

Well damn was the first time in a very long time I was enjoying and had hope for a Houston football team to have success. So now it’s back to the same crap as always with the Texans. Why do we love this sport again?
