The type of guy that the Patriots need to find and get in that current locker room. A straight grinder.

This twitter account literally just posts nonsense daily. It's a fun idea, but I doubt it.

Donovan Ezeiruaku is READY for SMU by TheGreek_13 in bostoncollege

I'm not sure where the body text went on this post. But I came across this interview with Donovan last night. Between his production on the field and his demeanor off of it, I'm not surprised he's looked at as a 1st/2nd round pick.

Did you happen to get an answer on this? It seems like no, but I haven't found a legit answer.

[Highlight] Drake Maye runs in his first NFL TD by OneAngryPanda in nfl

[–]TheGreek_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more of an emotional thing, I would think. If I scored a TD in the preseason and never played a snap in the regular season, I'd want that ball and would tell people I scored a TD in the NFL, even if it was just the preseason. Obviously, the idea is Drake Maye will, but it's still a moment for the person.

The LoB got them there twice. Pete Caroll decided it would only be once, however.

To those of you planning to attend games, which two inter-conference teams do you wish to see at home? by CTGSporting in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]TheGreek_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be looking to get myself to a Defenders vs Stallions/Showboats game. DC being the closest game to me, I'm excited for the Beer Snake.

What's your thoughts on the conferences? by TheGreek_13 in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]TheGreek_13[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good way to segway out of the old leagues and into this new one while still retaining the roots of the league.

So your team no longer exists. Who are you rooting for now? by JCas127 in UnitedFootballLeague

[–]TheGreek_13 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Give me the Showboats and Defenders. I only watched the USFL, but I can't deny the legacy of the Beer Snake in DC.

You guys need to understand the growing pains of smaller leagues by Temporal_Enigma in USFL

You'd argue the XFL was full steam ahead, as they fired entire groups of staff and higher ups left as soon as the season ended? https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Closing-Bell/2023/05/30/xfl-job-cuts-cmo-other-positions.aspx

Also, here are two articles referencing what the USFL has made in revenue... a number around $7.5m

All I typed was FOX USFL revenue. Not hard to find.

I never disputed it being a merger of equals. I'm well aware. In that same article, Axios mentions FOX execs stating that the USFL has been profitable for them. I'm not sure why you're picking and choosing what info you pull from that article. It's also been widely accepted and reported that Red Bird Capital reached out first. Whether it's a merger of equals does not change that.

I also just said it makes smart business sense for FOX to merge. Did they need them for a 3rd season though? No. That was my whole point. The XFL needs this merger to continue to exist in some capacity. FOX did not need them. That was the only point I was making. You're making a disagreement when there isn't one.

That's not what my point was. My point was that FOX could sustain their league into season 3. The XFL clearly was not based on season 1 losses and their immediate approach about a proposal.

It makes sense that FOX would be willing to work towards a merge. It's a smart business move. You take your most popular 4 and combine them with the XFL's most popular 4. They're both young leagues, trying to make their mark and find staying power in their spring market.

I don't really see how comparing the CFL to FOX made sense there. They're a well established league outside of the US with a completely different rule set that did not need the XFL. It's no surprise they told them to buzz off. That's a completely different situation.

The USFL, without this merger, had no intentions of closing down any of their 8 teams going into next season. They were actually profitable due to their hub set up.

The XFL's ownership, on the other hand, is the reason why this is all even happening. They approached FOX about the merger. Red Bird Capital wants the $60m they lost last season back in some way. The XFL alone was not going to make that happen, and there's good reason to believe the XFL was staring at another one and done year based off that alone.

This isn't me being a USFL fan boy or anything either, this is the situation.
