Twitter suggested I follow @MarcMTrestman today.

I did.

Thus far his Twitter game is similar to his play calling... very, very boring.

The XFL is done, finished, gone.

It’s true and it sucks.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

I spent nearly 4 yrs. traveling w/ WWE Superstars around the 🌎. I hope that this wkd’s WrestleMania shows fans how far these athletes will go to entertain you.

Vince McMahon gave all of them the option of staying home (and still being paid), but only a few did. Great job!

Thanks Twitter fam for all of your prayers, well-wishes and positive thoughts.

My sister-in-law is much better. She’s back at home, resting comfortably.

Be safe, everyone.

In the past week, the world has become a scary and confusing place to live.

My sister-in-law, age 30, has COVID-19 and is currently hospitalized, fighting to breathe on her own. She’s scared. We all are.

Again, she’s THIRTY.

Be smart. This virus knows no boundaries.

🙏

Can we please start the @MalcolmJenkins to @Saints rumors?

I’ll start.

I hear Malcom Jenkins may return to New Orleans to play for the Saints in 2020.

I haven’t heard that, but let’s run with it and hope it happens. And GO!

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

.@TomBrady signs with the Buccaneers.

No one is as surprised as @BruceArians

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

@XFLStottlemyer @TomBrady @BruceArians @ColinCowherd Scheft just confirmed.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

@XFLStottlemyer @TomBrady @BruceArians @ColinCowherd Barring any unforeseen circumstance, Brady is a Buccaneer, per Schefter.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

@XFLStottlemyer @TomBrady @BruceArians Yes, his name is @ColinCowherd

Do we need to call everyone out by name before you figure out these recommendations apply to you and are designed to save lives? This is bigger than you and your need to hang out. Whoever you are.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

The memes are funny, but this virus is not. People are dying.

This virus can not be stopped, it can only be slowed down. And it can only be slowed down by full cooperation from everyone.

Stay home. For me, staying home = no money, but oh well. Be safe. Be SMART. Godspeed.

WrestleMania 36 is Tampa is not happening.

Instead, WM36 will take place from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando with only essential personnel present.

WWE & the City of Tampa will lose millions, yes. But this is absolutely the right decision.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

@Jeff_Reinebold @SkySportsNFL I think Rivers would be a downgrade, but what about Bridgewater? Upgrade or downgrade?

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

If WWE does not reschedule WM36, Hillsborough Cty. officials have threatened to cancel the event entirely.

Though Vince wants to hold the event w/o fans in attendance as a compromise, there’s no guarantee Tampa officials will allow it as staff/crew/talent would exceed 100 ppl.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

No XFL news to report out of Stamford today, but the talk of the office is WrestleMania 36 in Tampa, scheduled for April 5.

The word is that WrestleMania, for the first time ever, will be held WITHOUT FANS IN ATTENDANCE.

Over 70,000 empty seats. Wow.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

@theistinthought It did not, but that was expected.

[Danny Jones - XFL News @DannyJonesXFL]

To piggyback off my last tweet...

What McMahon and the XFL are doing is unprecedented. The league, despite having their season cut short, will continue to pay players in full (w/ benefits).

Meanwhile, MLB refuses to pay minor league players during the shutdown.
