A team can go for one, two, or three points, and will have one play from scrimmage (no kicking) to score.” https://thecomeback.com/nfl/xfl-announces-one-two-and-three-point-conversions-after-touchdowns.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Just gimmicks. Three point conversions? Why not make it another 6?

Scoring team takes off their shoulder pads & helmets, wear flags & if they score within 20 plays they get 10 points after a TD. If they fail to score then have Jesse Ventura ready to beat up the head coach. Winning coach gets to bag a cheerleader or help give birth to a hand.

April 12, 20196 yr Author comment_386701 AAF players cannot sign with CFL teams (yet): “Only players who are free agents can attend free agent or mini-camps with CFL squads. For example, receiver and defensive back Terrell Sinkfield could ink a CFL deal because the Orlando Apollos released him. Conversely, cover man Ciante Evans was signed with the Salt Lake Stallions when the AAF folded and won’t be eligible until the legal issues are decided.” https://3downnation.com/2019/04/12/aaf-players-cannot-sign-with-cfl-teams-yet/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

April 12, 20196 yr comment_386721 That Dundon guy is a dumb dumb. Talk about indentured servitude. He ceases operation of the league but prevents players from continuing to earn a living. Edited April 12, 20196 yr by SpeedFlex27

April 12, 20196 yr comment_386746 Crappy business practice to stop players from signing with other leagues. I'd expect that part of the league going under would be the cancelling of all player contracts. That being said a cornerstone of all leagues is honouring other leagues contracts. No one wants the NFL to ignore CFL contracts even tho they are a different league in a different country.

April 16, 20196 yr comment_387116 They're gonna throw all kinds of weird rules and procedures out there just to get attention. I would think that darned few are going to survive.

I would think that darned few are going to survive. If I was them the only changes I would make is the ones the NFL has looked at for the future. Like wider fields, cfl style return rules etc. Give a product that's the future of American football. Also, I liked the sprint to center field for the first position vs the coin flip. Skip the silly endless forward passes junk. You could even create excitement by heavily limiting pass rushing. But im sure they will do some thing stupid with rules.

April 16, 20196 yr comment_387151 Just an unbelievably unfortunate turn of events for these poor players. Just completely classless. Not only are they not going to pay them their contracted amounts but they are going to prevent anyone that has a contract with them, other than the miniscule number of players signed by the NFL, from making a living by playing football. Either pay them or let them go Dundon...FFS!
