As a UK fan, anyone any idea what the plan is? Does he want to rival the NFL? Or is at a semi feeder, second chance league for the JUCO players, missed opportunities and foreigners who never got a chance?

He is approaching this seriously in the sense that he wants a safer more fan driven league. He is coming in as a direct competitor.

And since the NFL and Papa John's Pizza parted ways, I bet he gets a deal with them. lol

Cheers mate.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how this all plays out tbh. It's going to be interesting.

Even if it tanks, I want to see what he brings to the table.

This.

I mean even if it tanks, hopefully it brings along some innovations to the game and sport that encourage new fans and old fans to fall in love with football again.

Also if they can somehow find a way to make the game safer and cut down on the running time they could very well have some success.

Apparently WWE Has Luck On Its Side - World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:WWE) | Seeking Alpha

Sometimes business success comes with a little luck. Sometimes it comes from hiring the right people in key positions. For WWE (WWE) it is a combination of both. Fresh off of inking a lucrative television deal, Vince McMahon has announced a bit of a coup by landing a key executive for Alpha Entertainment's upstart professional football league. Oliver Luck has left the NCAA and will be the CEO and Commissioner of the XFL.

I wouldn't say I'm excited but I do like the fact that we're going to have another alternative to the NFL.
