I don't have a comprehension problem because you keep changing what you're TRYING to say. It started out with COLLEGE age kids and now you say high school age kids. Now here's what anyone past grade school and not doing drugs will tell you about your latest version of using the top high school talent. They are commonly referred to as 5 star talent and all of the 5 star talent get to pick what college they want to go to because they get offers from multiple schools. Many of them get 15 - 20 or more offers of scholarships. Now they know that will be their gateway to the NFL. Now you think that these same kids will just jump at a chance to go to a league that pays even the top players less than what undrafted free agents make in the NFL?

Here's another thought for you. Many of those 5 star players are only 17 when they graduate from high school and therefore need their parents signature on any legal binding contract. Now how many parents are going to sign away their kid's college eligibility so the kid can make what would be parking meter change compared what they could make in the NFL not even mentioning that the kid will at least be given the chance to get a degree. Yes some kids just go to college to complete their sophomore season just to get drafted but that is being drafted by the NFL. The NFL that has been around now for 100 years. The same NFL that pays players more than what their entire family combined will make in their entire lives.

Oh and your kids that are such good athletes that don't go to college, if they have that much talent then they would get offers from at least division III schools and if they don't even get offers from them then they have less than a ZERO chance of ever playing in the NFL.

And then there's are questions I've already asked you plus a some more. How do they get to the NFL? Does the NFL hold a separate draft? Who is going to risk millions of dollars to start this league? How drunk and doped up are they going to have to get network officials to agree to televise this league? What day of the week will these games be played on and what other sports will they be competing against? What stadiums will these games be played? Where will the teams in your fantasy league hold their practices? Will they play by the same NFL rules and as the NFL changes their rules will this fantasy league change theirs too? If a NFL team takes a player but then later cuts him will he be able to return to your fantasy league? What happens if all of these kiddies form a union and demand NFL type money? Where is this fantasy league going to get referees?

Now I never said one way or another whether I liked this new XFL or not. Now the ONLY place your little fantasy league could work long term is in your drug infested grade school mind for as long as it stays there or until you wake up because it will NEVER be anywhere in reality.

YOu bet -they let people hit in this league :yourock::yourock::yourock::yourock::yourock::welcome:

I like it, but saw a db lead with the crown of his helmet and gave himself a stinger. Not smart at all, they need to clean that up atleast. That's a spinal injury waiting to happen.

The down side for the xfl is 4 games each weekend. You get a couple duds each week it could feed a negative whether fair or not.

Looks like the fans turned out again.

This second game hasn't fared much better. Fans will want to see scoring and excitement vs. a defensive grudge match.

Thus far, very first game was the best IMO.

Just turned it on for the first time. 3-0 at the half. If it was just really good defense that'd be great.......but it's not.

Those Tampa unis are painful to look at. In fact, both unis look like they were drawn up for a cartoon.

I like the transparency in the replay booth. That'd be a good feature for the NFL. Let us hear and see what's going on between everyone involved and it'll go a long way toward making it seem less biased to the fans.

Only took Jim Zorn 3 and a half games to play the QB most people expected to be their starter in the first place, BJ Daniels.

His first two drives? Two TDs. Seattle is back in the game at St. Louis, 20-16 in the 4th.
