It’s only Tuesday and we’ve already heard so much news in regards to Houston, looks like we have some more information coming from up north in New York. Former Albany Empire (AFL) Head Coach and Atlanta Legends (AAF) Director of Football Operations is saying that he is joining the XFL.

Thompson first posted on Twitter saying “They say when one door closes others open”. Eluding to something exciting happening soon.
