Episode 147 - The XFL Is Downsizing - a podcast by Real Talk, Homie

The XFL is “Downsizing” and laying off executives in the league’s marketing department as well as sales staff across its teams. Is this something XFL and spring league football fans should be fearful of, or does this represent XFL management and ownership realizing their year one shortcomings and making immediate changes? We bring in “The Professor” Andrew Murray to discuss! We also preview the upcoming XFL Rookie Draft and subsequent Fall drafts that were announced via the recent Inside the League’s agent Zoom call.

Evan Willsmore joins us to share his “watch list” of XFL standouts who still deserve a shot in the NFL and we talk USFL week 8 with RunTheSim’s Furby. Finally, we deep dive 3 teams for the upcoming CFL 2023 season as we talk to Postmedia’s J.J. Adams about the BC Lions, Mike Hogan of the Toronto Argonauts, and the Hamilton Spectator’s Steve Milton about the Hamilton TiCats.
