Hope things work out for him and that this version of the league doesn’t bust after just one season.

St. Louis is a great sports market that's been missing football since the Rams moved back to LA.

He should do well there, if they build a good roster around him and get a decent coach.

The 2001 version of the XFL died because it was just pitiful. The 2020 version was MUCH better and would still be around if not for Covid

2 spring leagues? If USFL is still playing...

Didnt know they were bringing back XFL

I don't think there will be a lot of overlap. XFL is supposed to start up in February and USFL starts in April.
