Vince McMahon May Not Be The Bidder For The XFL, But Is Shane McMahon?
XFL Owner and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said Tuesday that he is no longer interested in purchasing the XFL in a buyback for the ages. McMahon ha promised $500 million to be invested into the XFL over the following three years but due to the coronavirus, it was revealed in his court filing he had already invested $200 million in the past few years of his own money. Rumors surfaced last week by the Athletic that McMahon filing chapter 11 bankruptcy months ago was part of a masterful plan. Even creditor’s believed there was a maniacal plan to buyback the XFL all along to avoid paying who he owed and…

WWE vs Coronavirus – The Showcase of the Immorals!
WWE is a company that rarely shuts its doors, for this company, “The Show Must Go On” is always the mantra they live by and is embedded in their minds. With most professional and collegiate sports shutting down and the UFC decreasing the number of events they are running, the pressure is on for the company to press on or bring production to a halt. Is it time for the WWE to take a break until it’s safe to run shows? Recently, WWE and ESPN struck a deal to air WrestleMania on Sundays, until WrestleMania 36 on April 4th and 5th. The first replay was WrestleMania 30, which included John…
2020 NFL Mock Draft 1.0
As the NFL heads towards a new year and the start of free agency, it’s time to start thinking about the draft. With that being said, here is Finflam Sports’ Top 10 Mock Draft 1.0 Round 1 Pick 1: Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow – QB, LSU Joe Burrow is the obvious pick, he was the best QB in college football last year. Burrow’s year rivaled that of Cam Newton’s 2010-11 Heisman Year. Joe Burrow’s two years at LSU include an average to slightly above average year and a Heisman winning, dominate year. The jump Burrow took was massive and could be cause for concern. Tua Tagovailoa could be an…
NBC Waging War Against Vince McMahon & the XFL?
If anybody has been watching the coverage over the past two years since WWE Chairman, and CEO Vince McMahon announced the relaunch of the XFL, you may have noticed one network that’s trashed the rebirth of the once failed league repeatedly. NBC is that network! Since the XFL’s premiere two weeks ago NBC Sports on-air talents have buried it. The premier peaked at around 4 million people on ABC and averaged around 3.5 million viewers over the remaining 3 games for the opening weekend. Week 2 ratings were expected to drop as they did, but they aren’t all that bad as we only have numbers provided by ABC, so far…
The XFL Has More Potential Than You Think
The XFL has returned and speculation about how long this league can last has began. Spring football of any type has struggled to find any footing, since the USFL. Week One of the XFL averaged 3 Million viewers. Interest will always be high in the first week, so Week Two is extremely important for the new XFL. Week Two of the XFL on ABC averaged 2.2 Million viewers, which is a drop off from Week One, but is expected for any new league. As of this writing the ratings for Week Two of the XFL on Fox have not been released. The biggest question is if the XFL can keep…
Cam Newton Playing for the Chargers?
With the Carolina Panthers looking towards another quarterback, a new head coach and the Los Angeles Chargers parting ways with their 16-year veteran quarterback Philip Rivers, Cam Newton seems destined thunderbolt his way into Chargers sky blue and white. Is Cam Newton a better quarterback than Philip Rivers? Philip Rivers doesn’t get hurt, as his ability to maintain his health is something people shouldn’t turn their nose to as he’s started 224 consecutive games, second-most by an NFL quarterback (behind Brett Favre, 297). The Chargers have the 6th round draft pick and I don’t see them drafting someone who can’t give them stability in the pocket. Newton is only 30…
Here’s Why Philip Rivers Will Play for the Tampa Buccaneers
It’s official, the Los Angeles Chargers have parted ways with 16 year NFL veteran Philip Rivers. Now that he’s a free agent for the first time in his career, where should he go? Rivers owns more than 30 franchise records and is No. 6 on the NFL’s all-time touchdowns list with 397, fourth all-time in 300-plus passing yard performances with 70, Rivers played all of his 16 seasons with the Chargers. This was the first time in 12 years he threw for under 25 touchdowns in a season. Philip Rivers’s best fit for his future over the next few years will be in Tampa as the starting quarterback for the…
Tom Brady Heading to The Raiders?
Tom Brady signaled to me and the world in that cryptic tweet that his exit from Gillette Stadium is legitimate. Now if you put 1+1 together his tweet depicts what two colors? Grey and Black! What makes it even more interesting is that Brady was seen hanging out with Raiders owner Mark Davis during a recent MMA fight in Las Vegas where even President of the UFC Dana White said the rumors have “legs”. Derrick Carr who’s been with the Raiders since 2014 commented on the speculation. “I mean, there was a lot of quarterbacks at that fight,” Carr told ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez. “And there was a lot of football players…
