Episode 116 - The XFL's Doomsday Clock - a podcast by Real Talk, Homie

The XFL has promised that announcements are coming “over the next few weeks”, but with team names, logos, uniforms, TV schedule, rulebook, the Vegas stadium, or wherEVER the XFL Las Vegas team might play, and more announcements still needing to be made, has the XFL run out of time? We discuss the "XFL's Doomsday Clock" with Brandon Anderson and run down what DID happen this week in the world of the XFL including Dany Garcia and Gerry Cardinale’s recent appearance at the Axios BFD livestream promising XFL storytelling "365 days of the year".

Longtime friend of the program Roy S. Johnson returns to talk through the successes of the USFL’s season 1 Birmingham hub, why other cities might be interested in hosting their own USFL hub in the future, and where the negotiations stand between the USFL and the city of Birmingham heading into season 2. We chat through the XFL’s recently announced partnership with the NFL Alumni Academy with Director of Branding Charlie Boots and preview the 2023 CFL playoffs with CFL.ca contributor Pat Steinberg in a LOADED program.
