Well, first of all there aren’t team names yet despite their draft coming up in October.  But he is just signing with the league itself to be drafted in said draft.  XFL owns all the teams

I'm going to go with the ahh Washington umm Thunderfuckers?

the Washington Name That Isn't Racist

This is the XFL. They'd be the Washington [NAME REDACTED JESUS CHRIST YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WORD]'s!

Or maybe they course-correct and shatter expectations and are like, the Washington Native Americans.

I know, which is the joke, because they said they'd announce team names like three times already.

They’re just making them extra awesome before telling everyone.

This is a Vince McMahon run league. The Texan teams will either be named ICE or Border Patrol

The Austin 3:16s

Washington Ultimate Warriors (Warriors is the name I think the Redskins should change their name to. Could keep the Native American theme going and not have to change their helmet logo)

So, I just saw the tiered-contract system and it's the most Vince McMahon thing ever.

"The XFL will use a tiered contract system for signing players.

Tier 1: $25,000 to $60,000 per game: 1 franchise player designation
Tier 2: $15,000 to $17,500 per game: 3 slots per team
Tier 3: $6,000 to $10,000 per game: 23 slots per team
Tier 4: $5,000 to $6,000 per game: 18 slots per team"

So, the guys within the locker room will not only be fighting the other team, but each other for the only high-paid slot. Good thinking. No in-fighting will come of this, I'm sure.

It's pretty obvious that slot is going to go to the starting QB, so I don't think it'll be an issue.

And how is that “the most Vince McMahon thing ever?” It’s a wage scale.  All of the teams are owned by the league, so they broke down how to divide up salaries in A uniform manner.  Not exactly an uncommon idea, most jobs in the country have a similar idea happening, they just don’t call the highest paid employee a franchise player.

I wouldn't be surprised if my MD called himself a "franchise player" the arrogant spork

[GhostMachine]

Rethinking the team names idea, Texas Rattlesnakes wouldn't be a bad name for a team at all.....

As long as they don't call their cheerleaders ``Stunners'.

Tomorrow!
