Football Fans, it is almost here!
We have been waiting patiently, and the Big Day is just about upon us!
The anticipation is killing hardcore and casual fans alike!
Mark your calendars, and start buying your chips and beer now!
February 18th. 3:00 PM EST. Choctaw Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Las Vegas Vipers! Arlington Renegades!
It’s the XFL Kickoff, Baby!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The biggest football event in the World is just weeks away, Sports Fans.
Football fans are lining up by tens of hundreds to buy their tickets to see these games.
Granted, tickets are not cheap. Field seats will cost you an arm and a leg at $18 a piece. But you
can get a little relief if you are willing to sit a little higher (about $8.00 each). Most teams are
running two-for-one promotions for games on days ending in \u201cY.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As a way to make it a little easier on fans in the wallet, as opposed to other professional sports
leagues, the XFL will be a BYOB league. All alcoholic beverages will be allowed in the venues
as long as they are brown-bagged. And, marijuana will be allowed in venues in states where
cannabis is legal. Where it is not legal, the League is asking that you toke up in your car before
entering the stadiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The League is boasting some huge names that will definitely draw fans.
Quarterback Walt Perkins, from Oakton Community College, signed a League-high 3-year
contract worth 90.9-thousand dollars.
Defensive Back Caesar Beds, Pinal County Prison Municipal Football League, signed a 5-year
deal worth $23-thousand per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Halfback Rickie Greenstein, Alpha Epsilon Pi Flag Football MVP, signed an undisclosed 3-year
contract, but said, \u201cI am very happy that I am now able to cut my hours at Men\u2019s Warehouse
down to 20\/week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The 8-team League owns teams in; Arlington, TX, San Antonio, TX, Houston, TX, Las Vegas,
NV\u2026 and four other places (not known at time of print).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The League is owned by WWE Wrestler and \u201cactor\u201d Dwayne \u201cthe Rock\u201d Johnson. He purchased
the League for $15-million. Not a direct quote, but something I heard, \u201c[Sounded cool. So I
made that shitty \u2018Jungle Cruise\u2019 movie to get the money. Cut them a check. And, BOOM\u2026 I
have a football league. If it takes off, great. If not, fuck it. I\u2019ll make another movie. Can\u2019t lose,
baby. I\u2019m the fucking Rock!]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
