Don't forget, the other league starts after the Super Bowl this year.

I really don't know how either of these leagues are going to survive. I hope they do because FOOTBALL!, but I don't have a lot of hope.

Oh, right, already forgot the AFA was a separate thing.

I like the idea of more football, but I find it hard to care about anything but pro or college, and pro already feels pretty saturated with 3 nights + 1 day.

With three additional leagues, it's going to be interesting.

I'm thinking they're going to spread talent too thin. 1 has to go under in the first 5 years right?

Bob Stoops is coaching the Dallas team.

This is a shockingly big hire.

Trestman coaching Tampa Bay team.

The XFL is definitely making a minor splash with coaches.

Will have 1 to 3 pt conversions before it folds
XFL commissioner Oliver Luck said Monday on the PFT PM podcast that the league plans to use a three-tiered extra-point system after touchdowns and a two-point conversion shootout in overtime when it launches in 2020.

Luck discussed the plans when asked how the XFL plans to differentiate itself from the NFL game.

On extra points, teams can choose whether to go for a one-point conversion from the 2-yard line, a two-point try from the 5-yard line or a three-point attempt from the 10-yard line.

"We literally have a nine-point touchdown. We think that's valuable because teams that historically are down by let's say three scores, well guess what, if it's a 16-point or a 17-point differential, you're really looking at a two-score game theoretically," he said.

The XFL's overtime rules are currently being tested in the Spring League. Luck said each team will have five opportunities to convert a two-point conversion in the overtime session. The defense would score one point with a turnover.

Cardale could have been a legend if his heart was into it.
