This is not the case for everyone, but there was certainly a bit of intrigue when Vince McMahon announced the return of the XFL back in January. However, the league is not expected to have actual games being played until 2020.
McMahon may have to move that start date to something a little sooner because now he has a competitor to deal with.
On Tuesday, the formation of a new professional football league known as the Alliance of American Football was announced. Leading the way for this new league is Charlie Ebersol, son of NBC Sports executive Dick Ebersol.
