We bring on Evan Willsmore of XFL News Hub to break down the latest XFL TV announcements, potentially confirmed XFL cities and more! Plus we’re at the midway point of the 2022 USFL season and to recap 5 weeks of USFL action we welcome Ian Hartitz of PFF and Adam Levitan of Establish The Run to break down all of the action. Finally, with the CFLPA coming to an agreement with CFL management for the 2022 CFL season, Jim Mullin, president of Football Canada makes his return to chat the future for the CFL and the healing that needs to take place between players, fans and management to get the CFL back on track for the future.

Could the XFL’s return to Houston and St. Louis have been spoiled? Sure seems like it. With rumors of the both cities preparing for the XFL’s return in 2023 we welcome Evan Willsmore of XFL News Hub onto the program to give his thoughts and analysis on all of the action. We also break down the new XFL TV deal, compare it with the current broadcast slate of the USFL and dissect the future of both league’s potentials with their broadcast partners moving forward.

With the CFLPA coming to an agreement with CFL management ending their players strike ahead of the 2022 CFL season, a rift has been caused between CFL players, CFL management and CFL fans.
