Should all so show you who the're going after in the draft at #2. I would still rather trade down and get more picks but it looks like the RB from Penn St. They still might grab a QB put not at #2 .

Carson Wentz tore LCL as well as ACL, but injury won’t change his playing style – ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/01/26/carson-wentz-tore-lcl-as-well-as-acl-but-injury-wont-change-playing-style/)

I kept thinking RGIII when reading this article. Only difference is, RGIII wanted to change his playing style, Wentz doesn't. I never want to wish anything ill-fated no anyone, but you start to wonder how long of a career Wentz will have playing as aggressive as he does? He's already had a major injury in only his second season.

That is why I asked the Q about trading him if foles wins SB MVP... I know it sounds out of this world stupid but look at Andrew Luck as well... Things can happen fast

Competition is always a good thing but let’s be honest, a new league is always facing a tremendous uphill battle.

Would love to see a RG3 name plate on the back of a jersey.

Difference with Wentz is he can play from the pocket so he can afford to dial back his running.

This is very true!

I hope it does succeed, and I can't wait for it to start. I will be watching! Vince said it's not going to be the same XFL that it was back in 2001. No gimmicks, no WWE crossover talent. None of that stuff! The teams, the league - all owned by McMahon. No one with a criminal record will be allowed in the league. That includes Manziel. There will be no display of social protests in the league. Vince is giving this league two years to prepare, so that they can scout out the best players and have them practicing in advance in order to put out a better product.

I like what Vince McMahon is doing. He said the XFL is not going to be a development league for the NFL. He wants it to be its own professional league. 8 teams (to start with) and a 10 week season. He has my support!

He also isn't going to have any time for Player protests or any of that. I don't want to re-ignite the Anthem debate, but Vince has the right idea by saying that the national anthem / flag, etc., will not be televised / part of the game, because people don't want to watch patriotism or politics, they want to watch football. He did say that he had no issue with protests, kneeling, etc., as long as they were on the players' free time and not the XFL's.

Only thing i don't get though, if Vince is the owner of all 8 teams, how can he decide how to make the teams competitive, or decide which team he wants to make try and win? I don't mean like he's going to rig it, but i am asking, like will he hire 8 independent general managers, give them all the same amount of money, and tell them may the best man win?

I figured out my rooting interests in the SB. I'm rooting to win at squares, last week I won $125 off the third quarter of Vikings-Eagles, so I took 100 of it and bought 5 squares for next week at 20 per. If I win one quarter I get 500, if I lose I was playing with house money anyways lol. And I got some good numbers too, 3-3, 7-4, 8-4, 6-3, and one other I forget.
