XFL to possibly expand

Just heard on Fox News that the XFL is wanting to expand with between 2 to 4 new teams, one of which could be Washington D.C. Here's a quote from Rich Rose who heads the leage expansion committee:


<< ?Our goal is to be able to sell at least 20,000 season tickets in any new XFL city, remembering that XFL season tickets are available for $125 on the 50-yard line.? >>


20,000 tickets :Q I don't think the XFL will have 20,000 viewers in a couple weeks. Good luck Vince 😉

~XFL Expansion
 
I went to an XFL game here in orlando (The Rage are in first place by the way) and all it was was a bunch of drunk rowdy rednecks throwing beer on each other. The game was worse than most division II college games, and the cheerleaders never took their clothes off. I give it one more year.
 
Where is the XFL getting the money to do this? IS there some sort of embezzlement scheme Jesse Ventura is running on the down-low?
 
Where? The WWF is a multibillion dollar corp, so is NBC, each own part of the XFL. Of course rumor has NBC dumping the Sat night game for a new series and the series will be cheap to produce.
 
The ratings last weekend were the lowest EVER for NBC primetime on Saturday. Talk about FAILURE. High hopes and aspirations are now dashed.
 
Yeah, the XFL is about the biggest flop ever. I do not even know if it will be back next year. As far as the money, Vince is probably siphoning off some of the money he has made from the WWF......
 
&quot;only a bunch of Dum Ass Viewers would watch it and Fox has that market sewn up&quot;

k, for the first time I laughed out loud at one of Red Dawns comments....hm, can we snuggle now big boy? 😛
 
I can only hope that it takes down the WWF as well. That might mean a few less channels that I don't have to surf by....

And don't jump all over me for not liking the WWF. Next thing you know Goldenbear will be in here telling me I need to watch this match and that match because I just don't know what I am talking about.....i.e. I absolutely have no right to dislike the WWF.....😕
 
From what I heard last week the ratings for the XFL were lower than every other show on any channel including the Food Channel. I'd be surprised if they survive the year, let alone expand.
 
Actually you are all wrong, it was the lowest rated sporting event in network television history. The all news channels avg 1.5 or less(1.8 for Larry King, 2.2 for O'Reily) so it wasn't the lowest.
 
<< Next thing you know Goldenbear will be in here telling me I need to watch this match and that match because I just don't know what I am talking about.....i.e. I absolutely have no right to dislike the WWF..... >>

Look, it's so simple I can't believe you don't drop it. Your ignorance doesn't go as far as to that you have to mention my name in another thread, reather than reply directly to me.

What does that say about you?

There's also something just something wrong about someone wishing ill about a company they know absolutely nothing about. Am I wrong here?

If the WWF were making bombs or forcing children into labor then I could see your incredibly major gripe with them.

But seeing as you don't watch, and that you don't know anything about them, and I've yet to see you make any good points, or any reasonable points for that matter. At least Phil Mushnick and the PTC who spend their lives bashing the WWF and have personal vendettas against Vince McMahon actually watch it. You're no better than any of them.

Please describe some of the things that you're interested in. It'd be most enlightening.
 
actually, S3, it was the lowest ratings for a BROADCAST NETWORK ever, tied with an ABC special about the drug war. broadcast being sent out on airwaves from TV towers, network being a national distribution mechanism for tv content. so comparing it to CNN and Fox News doesn't contradict the previous statement since neither is a broadcast network.
