Did you read that somewhere else? The release only signals an intent to merge. When they combine there'll be 16 teams in a spring football league. I'm just shooting off the hip here and thinking hypotheticals, since again we know almost nothing about how this league would operate. One thing is the Defenders were pretty big in the XFL so it'd be difficult to see them being abandoned or forced to play elsewhere. Philly if the merge goes through had a USFL team so you could see Philly and Washington share a Midatlantic hub which would hopefully be Audi Field.

ixcuincle Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 2 minutes ago, @DCGoldPants said: Ok Biggest takeaway is that you have one league now instead of two separate ones during the offseason, which would hopefully help. Still want to see the rules of the new league though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Well, if the Defenders were going to win a championship, seems like last year would've been the year to do it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Seeing more and more evidence DC is likely a location especially with the influx of ticket marketing https://xflnewshub.com/xfl-news/ufl-emerges-inside-scoop-on-the-xfl-usfl-merger-including-cities/ An inside source has revealed the potential returning markets for the newly merged league. Cities like Arlington, Houston, San Antonio, St. Louis, DC, Birmingham, Michigan, and Memphis are in the spotlight, potentially hosting the UFL teams. However, it’s important to note that these details are not yet finalized or officially confirmed, leaving room for further developments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited for this...then I saw it's only eight teams again. I would hope they will expand to at least 16 teams within the near future.

Captain Wiggles Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 My beloved Beer Snakes and my beloved Ponys in da same league. What a conundrum. They were two of the best teams in their well respected leagues. Mayhaps they'll meets in the USXFLAAF Championship one fine evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We score a TD to pull within 2, but our 59 got caught spitting on the opponent. They will push the try back. And they challenge the RT false starting. Official deem that he did false start, and retroactively remove the TD. Odd seeing this as you never see offsides, false start reviewed in NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 DC scores a TD, they call it back due to false start, penalize DC for 59 spitting. DC gets 15 off a SA penalty. Ta'amu hurt, goes out a play. DC picked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 After that humiliating loss in the championship game, I gave up on the DC Defenders. I actually forgot they played this weekend, I was willing to go back on my word to see some DC football. They were actually a very good team last year, they just didn't finish when it actually counted. Lost the Super Bowl to a team that didn't even have a winning record. I watched the highlights of the Defender's recent game, that was terrible. Its only the first game, but I regret laying eyes upon what I saw...embarrassing. I don't need another DC football team making me feel bad, I only have room for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
