Changes they announced last week to shorten the games did not work this weekend. The games I recorded (then erased without watching) all went past the three-hour mark.

IMO - the existence of both leagues might be part of the BOG/GOB panic-plan to get rid of more Canadians and allow more Americans on CFL rosters; gotta sign lots of new imports and soon, and be able to add more and more in the face of this over-whelming competition for talent; tons of new young FA American signings by CFL teams in the past few weeks.
Despite TV ratings plummeting and zero attendance, the people running the league appear steadfast in their willingness to bleed money. The most interesting part is who is the XFL going to sign to play QB? The USFL has shown IMO that there simply is not enough talent out there.
I would be shcked if this happened. For starters, the XFL season ends as CFL training camps would be starting. You would get players back up here with the risk of fatigue late in the season, or serious injury in which you also may lose your player for the entire season. It would greatly diminish the CFL product. Football is not meant to play year round, I don't believe players bodies can take playing 2 football seasons in one. In fact, I will say there is no way this will happen.
It's us vs the rest of the country
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
They can't say anything different because they would immediately lose a major fraction of their fan base, just like other leagues about to fold in the past and just like politicians say they will win even when they are 25% behind in the polls with a week to go in the election. Maybe they will, maybe they won't but what they say doesn't tell you anything.
