The XFL got back to action this weekend – less than a week after the NFL had put their 2022 season to bed. If you eat, sleep and breathe football, you don’t have to wait until September to get your fill again. The re-booted league owned by actor / wrestler Dwayne Johnson just kicked off the first of ten regular-season four-game weekends.
The games will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN networks, as well as some on FX. The reboot will conclude with the league championship in mid-May.

For those Washington fans that may not know, former Redskins kick returner Brandon Banks is now earning a paycheque in the Canadian Football League. After three years with Washington, Banks made the jump to Canadian Football last year, and will probably never look back.
This week he signed a 3-year deal with the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Banks spent last year with Hamilton, where he nearly stole the Grey Cup in the waning moments with a 90-yard punt return, unceremoniously called back for a penalty. That close call, and the promise of job security, made re-signing with the TiCats an easy decision for Banks.

Yesterday, the United Football League released their full 2012 football schedule. The press release comes fresh on the heels of the league’s announcement that CBS Sports has picked up the TV rights for the entire season. Don’t look now, but things might be starting to turn the corner for the still-new football league. After a tumultuous 2011 season that saw the schedule re-written several times and then ultimately shortened to save money, the league has some work to do to re-gain the confidence of their fans.
Entering its fourth season, the league will gain a big boost both in familiarity and that confidence, from the new television deal.
The United Football League released their official schedule today.
As per their press release last week, CBS Sports will be televising the games.
“We’re pleased to partner with the UFL and bring more live football to CBS Sports Network,” said Dan Weinberg, Senior Vice President, Programming, CBS Sports Network. “Fans have an appetite for football at all levels and we’re excited to showcase the UFL.”
