Remember the XFL

[DallasTheGreat28]

MEMPHIS MANIAX FOR LIFE!!!!

[TULLYNOL]

BRING BACK THE XFL

[webwolf404]

Don't know a thing about American Gridiron, but what I don't understand is how this is anything different than normal Gridiron? I honestly don't understand sorry :<

[AK47Rifle100]

America has bad economy now , thats why a new league probably won't work. NFL sucks now

[MrMArkell96]

wow



[todabeast]

This shit looks like Blitz the league

[buckda54]

Not cool to have "he hate me" on the back of ur jersey when nobody even knows you

[krptoman7272]

Those camaramen had balls

[TheIm2BiZ11]

these guys make the cleveland browns look like a super bowl team

unless if you took your talent to the nfl

[theraVen27]

i loved the xfl.

it had some great things. i became a football fan because of the xfl.

i know that if these guys were even given a chance they could still be around. as soon as u heard vince mcmahon and football everybody buried it.

the XFL was great, ask tommy maddox ha

[Bkordziel31]

xfl was never close to the talent in the nfl

[jerrielexavier]

@Bkordziel31 yeah rite! the XFL was great! no fair catches! genius!

[jordach545]

@Bkordziel31 you mean talent or being fat enough to defend?

[hagenar]

I'm starting a new league next year. The XXXFL.

The players will carry firearms and we'll have lesbian porn on the sidelines.

Who's in?

[Michaelman79]

@hagenar ill throw my hat into the ring lol

[Liynkx]

how could this be dropped after one year?

[xtreme00071]

too bad they only played half a season :(  Thumbs up if you would protest with me

[BobReefer]

@xtreme00071 they played a full season.....

[TheMph019]

i own the xfl

[xtreme00071]

@TheMph019 u have a great imagination

[73dodge]

Football is Football. I enjoyed it while it lasted, and does it really matter if these guys are'nt as good as NFL players? As long as they are evenly matched, it's good football. College players are'nt as good as NFL players, yet the games are great. I think college is better to watch myself.

[haj890]

@73dodge well some of them are as good as the nfl players

[yankees9594]

xfl was for football players who sucked at the sport 

[TheIm2BiZ11]

I think that the xfl was a lot more dangerous than the nfl

[TheIm2BiZ11]

How many teams did the xfl have cause I see the same teams in almost every clip

[triviuma7xdisturbed]

@TheIm2BiZ11 They had 8 teams.

[TheIm2BiZ11]

@triviuma7xdisturbed vince mcmahon is a disgrace

[BobReefer]

@TheIm2BiZ11 8

[slydawg221]

this would be better with sound, but it looks like the WMG dick suckers strike again.

[guitarshop40]

the XFL was way more entertaining and fun to watch than the NFL.

i miss it

[sebastianhoward65]

XFL was a fucking joke.

[coloniaIVU]

Wow,*dadirrtywhyteboi*below is a true idiot.He thinks that because V. McMahon was part owner of the league somehow all of these games were choreographed like in pro wrestling(how the fuck do you stage a football game!?).Idiots like him wouldn't know real men's American Football if it hit him in his mangina.The XFL was hands down kick ass football that would've been a success had morons like him not been so enamored with the NoFunLeague,and all it's little pussy QB protecting penalties.

[Thewrestlingking4123]

um u can fix ant type of sports just look at the black soxs

[coloniaIVU]

@Thewrestlingking4123 Yes,but you can't choreograph(like a dance routine, or movie scene)a sport.Yes any sport can be fixed to where some of the players or officials *can influence* the outcome of a game(Not everyone is in on it; Shoeless Joe wasn't despite being wrongly convicted).These idiots, and please don't tell me you're one of them, think that every move and play right down to exactly how much time and distance a play would be for, is*choreographed*.Do you think all of them were acting!?

[coloniaIVU]

All I'm saying is that the XFL games were all live actual competitive football games okay.The QB didn't spend the week rehearsing a script where it said 'on this play throw the ball in this certain spot so that Johnny CB can int. the ball, then he will run at you, at exactly this yard line and slightly slow down so you can tackle him (make it look spectacular)'. How sad that people actually believe these games were preplanned and rehearsed for (places everyone places...and...action! lol).

[SuavecitoBro2]

@coloniaIVU ,

Most American men are manginas hence is the reason why feminism is so big in this cuntry.

[MuffinManTF]

@SuavecitoBro2 whether the spelling of "cuntry" was on purpose or not, I'm laughing my ass of. And, football is all about the money now. This was almost puely guts and hard hits.

[SuavecitoBro2]

@MuffinManTF ,

I'm a MRA (Mens' Rights Advocate) so I say "cunt-try" LOL (PS I'm not even from the South).

[Wierdplaceflms]

oh damn... This xfl shit is awesome, too bad it only lasted one season. Seems like the defense is the focus, and OH MY GOD is this hard hitting. No fair catch? THAT'S my kind of football.

[FrogBlastTheVentCore]

I love Duke Nukem's quote about the XFL:

"you're gonna go down faster than the XFL"

[gankstawalker]

people that hated XFL are not real sports fans.

[GamingPalooza]

ya, i agree... XFL was bad ass

[guitarnube111]

What really did suck about the team we had in Orlando was that the stadium sold out for every game at the Citrus Bowl, but they only let 20000 people in....Pissed alot of people off, but it would be fun to have this league back when there are no sports on tv.

[kittieluvsu]

sick ass tackles

[TRIPLEOGV666]

"remenber the xfl" xfl was horrible. the game play was slop, lots of droped passes, over thrown balls. and brining the wwe theme into it made it a complete disaster

[CombatSportFan]

That tends to happen with a start up football league that doesn't waste fans' time with a pre-season, and instead let them improve on the field. By the end of the season the play had improved dramatically, and several players went on to the NFL (with Tommy Maddox becoming an unheralded star for the Steelers.)

[ADAMMNNN]

HOLY SHIT @ :50

[teothedemon]

i loved the XFL

it was straiht brutality

i mean where else is a line men going to tackle a runner at 15 miles per hour

[icanthearu123]

This is the sport the defence is the show not offense

[CombatSportFan]

The XFL was unfairly judged by the media who refused to give it a chance even though it had good football that would have improved with time, and actually turned me into a football fan from 2001 onward.

[icpfan00]

@CombatSportFan Same here, i caught an LA Xtreme game one night, and i was fucking hooked from then on. Just sucks Maddox is retired.

[jesse2323232323]

what the hell ripp off to nfl

[themudrats]

how was it a rip off to the nfl? that's like saying college football is a ripoff to the nfl, or highschool football is. or that's like saying that burger king is a rip off to mcdonalds. you're rucking retarded! i hate u!

[diamondback29]

Im from Norway and XFL was never show'n here. But i like how the cameramen was filmin' it on field and stuff. But some of the rules was just too brutal lol! ..yea,might be excitin to watch,but daym lol! But i dont why ppl are hatin AFL,i think its a great sport goin under winter\spring and it goes fast. I like the concept of it

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

ya the cameraman on the field thing was stolen by the NFL for the next the Super Bowl that season the XFL actually had some really good rules established it just was never gonna take off as people that the games were not real(since WWF/E Chairman Vince McMahon was owner) and that the television networks NBC TNN & UPN were pulling out as carrying the programing. I also like the AFL nice little spin on football and the games are competative

[Drumpowa]

Cool song..what's the song?

[imthemannowdog]

"In Memory" by Shinedown

[Drumpowa]

I remember the XFL, it reminded me too much of the formerly WWF. I'll stick to the NFL.

[packfan3]

Wow, what a disgrace to the game of football. This is just a show, even more so than the AFL.

[jaystiz2]

the basis of the idea was good, mcmahon was just an idiot. he knew how popular football was and has gotten even more popular since then. the idea to put whatever name of the jersey, and not OVER protect players was good, but obvioulsy the no fair catch and the late hits made it a joke. its already been said, just not enough talent for another league...although maybe the UFL will make it...? *optimism*

[Nexick]

xfl was all about the hits and lacked the rules to protect some of the players i.e. no fair catch and its legal to hit people after the play

[recker24]

see, i know this video is misleading cuz it made the XFL seem awesome, when i clearly remembered it as being terrible.

Oh well, it gave us Tommy Maddux and the camera over the field.

[PapaShango619]

And the yellow first down line

[swishersweets27]

I knew he hate me or Rod Smart. He dated this one kid i knews mom. Too bad he wasn't succesful in the NFL with the Panthers. His brother Chris Rainey from Lakeland High School which now plays for the Florida gators is fast he ran a 2.23 i think and he's gonna make it to the NFL. Just wait till he starts the gators gonna be even better.

[swishersweets27]

[xflnut93]

whats the song?

[omegagod25]

I LOVED THIS XFL RULES! MISS IT BADLY

[grester]

XFL was Awesome

[dbla1334]

they had some tight jerseys.

the XFL reminds me of Blitz The League haha

[RDoughty37]

I miss the XFL, it was so much better than Arena Football will ever be.

[dfr101]

i never really watched the xfl when i was smaller. now that i see it, i like it.

[pnroyal]

I don't think you can put any of the players at fault here. It was played by a bunch of men who clearly LOVED the sport. It's a shame it wasn't able to stick around for a few more years. In time the players would have improved, thus improving the quality of the game. There could have been a nice trickle down (and up) effect of players from the NFL to XFL or XFL to NFL.

[mustang6172]

Why would NFL players move to XFL? XFL teams had a salary cap lower than the average NFL player's salary.

[pnroyal]

Guys like Dante Cullpepper, who still wanted to play but nobody would sign him (until the Lions here a little while back) could have went to the XFL for a season and 'proved' that he was still good enough.

[bowlerdude34]

dude are you stupid the XFL only lasted for 1 season and that was like....i don't know, but i do know that it was way before Dante Cullpepper was a free agent

[pnroyal]

Really. No kidding. Did you figure that out all on your own? I was using Culpepper as an example of a player who, IF the league was still around, might have used the XFL as a 'proving ground'. Not quite sure how you got confused on that one.

[franczyk94]

why the fuck dident this work

[todabeast]

That nigga got crack head feet. 2:15

[HeHateMeStill]

All i want is a HeHateMe Jersey

[aaaaaagg2a]

Anybody knows what the song is called.

[mouse5hi7]

XFL kicked ass, I really want one of those balls, used to have one.

[KangaKucha]

the XFL bought a more canadian edge to american football, it's too bad the NFL didnt use some of their more canadian rules, like safies of failed returns on kickoffs.

and in return, the CFL should, and will hopfully take note, that they should hav used a form of the XFL's no kick convert rule, it would be prefect for the CFL game (NFL can go either way) snice the kick convert looks very pointless.

[timeswasting]

I liked the XFL. At least it was real football, unlike this arena shit. And they played in the worst conditions, AFTER the NFL season! It was played by guys who truly loved the game. They should have given it more of a chance. What did it in was lousy announcers and Saturday night games. Who wants to watch football on a Saturday night? Everyone knows pro football is to be played on Sundays. Miss ya XFL!

[FarKalkir]

hahahaha, oh, the XFL. What a pathetic excuse for a sport. Probably just as fake as pro wrestling.

[Philbell333]

i dont realy see the differnce between that and the nfl or cfl exept that the field looks abit bigger

[Chains07]

ill defend europe and say The CFL once again is 2nd to the nfl today and as big as the xfl was in the states it was a joke up here. vince wanted investors from toronto to own a franchise. fuck the fake xfl

[213laze]

0:52-0:53 sick..

[pjam07pjam]

what a disaster.

[gdog662]

There are two new football leauges forming. They are called the All American Football League and the new USFL. I hope they will both be better and last much longer than the XFL.

[RaymondA724]

There's also another league called the United Football League that's trying to start up too. I think Mark Cuban is involved with it.

[PATCHES7RF619]

Yeah, they want Michael Vick to join.

[ufcfan94]

that was just a rumor bout vick and ufl

[glib11]

for me, all fucking football is played out

[rtype6]

I remember one game where some guy on the D broke through and clotheslined the QB before he hut the ball. The XFL's problem was it was too closely tied with wrestling. If it kept it's distance, it may still be around today.

[Skeyboy]

Why don't americans learn to play a real sport like rugby. All this stoppin and starting is a load of B.S.

[SubliminalCh3mical]

rugby is actually pretty popular in america the high school i went to had a boys and girls team, so didnt most of the other school districts, socer teams as well, There just not as popular sports here than in europe, much like how you guys look at Football or baseball, were just not into it that much even though alot of people enjoy it and play it here.

[rgandy23]

why dont europeans shut the f--k up and go play cricket or polo

[Philbell333]

and y dont ugo kill ur self

[krazydude34]

dude football is more popular than rugby pretty much everywhere except in some cases.

[dl30wpb]

What alot of people don't realize is although the XFL was a flop, alot of the ideas like the cameras on the wires and all that were moved on to the NFL... So in all reality it helped better the NFL experience. It's jut the NFL has been around so long, no one is going to be able to take them off their throne.. The USFL tried and that went bye bye to lol

[Spatny777]

there was some talent in the XFL.

I know rod "he hate me" smart played in the superbowl with carolina

[DoA0LZ88]

And don't forget Mike Furrey who is still really good despite playing for the Lions and of course Tommy Maddox one of the few players who has a XFL Championship and a Superbowl ring.

[hogwildhurricane]

did Dallas have a team? if so, what were they called?

[Spatny777]

no dallas team. Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, LA, Memphis, and Birmingham... I think thats it

[elburrodiablo]

Anything with the word "Xtreme" in it is GAY.

[RCWJ75]

atleast the XFL had good hits and was fun to watch...the sissy NFL calls a penalty for every fucking hard hit u make...the QB's are all fags, and now a simple horsecollar tackle is illegal...how bout the NFL goes to 2 hand touch...fucking pussy shit...I seen more hard hits in the 1 year XFL then in the last 5 in the NFL..

[krazydude34]

xfl sucked.

[muffinman18]

You are an idiot. Do you know how destructive horsecollar tackles can be to your body? I've had it happen to me a couple times while playing and it hurt like hell. This is in a minor league, imagine a 250+ pound defencemen with pure, rock-hard muscles doing it to you.

QBs are overprotected sometimes I'll say, but they are one of the most vulnerable people on the field. They're trying to find someone open downfield while 3 300+ pound dliners are rushing at you. It's not very pleasant getting hit

[1041990D]

In 8-man football horsecollars are leagel. that sucks.

ya lets not protect the kids. i think ist really dumb!!

[Kansas462]

I miss the L.A. Xtreme

[ChrisXCXCX]

these dudes were morons. Im sure vince told them to take big hits.

[mydagg]

Why did they stop the XFL?

[elburrodiablo]

Ummmm...because it sucked???

[itzahazylife]

man that no fair catch rule was some bloodthirsty shit...it was cool and all but kinda stupid on the creators of XFL's part..that shit could have ended careers if the XFL wasn't cancelled.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

USFL is returning in 2010 ... newusfl dt cm

[LetsGoJetFavre]

XFL was the shit, fuck the haters.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

USFL Returns in 2010!!!

Check out Newusfl dt cm

[85bucks]

XFL was pretty good. Way better then arena football.

[Spatny777]

I gotta agree with that.

[montez1016]

UPN was backing out of the deal so WWE Just dropped the XFL football league.

[filincold1214]

xfl must suck because i did not here about it untill a couple of dys ago

[icon54]

umm...what?

[madden317]

ROFL how old are you 8?

xfl was canceled years ago idiot

[bxrocker]

Then you must not be a football fan

[WECENANUFF]

lol

Stupid kid, I bet you're a Cena lover.

[iluvmarisamiller]

almost anything with the word football in it i love but i was like 6 when XFL was around and plus i lived in a diferent country and its not canada or mexico or one of those tinny islands

[topdeckmaster]

XFL sucked hairy balls looked just as fake as the wrestling company that was funding it.

[serena4]

Fuck you!

[KC12344321]

what is this song called

[blueice188]

where did you get all these clips?

[kbkos]

lmao.. biggest waste of money but i liked it better than i like cfl and afl

[psufan001]

HE HATE ME!!! haha thats funny lol.

[SnowflakeOfTheWuTang]

man I miss the XFL

[PMJ38]

HE HATE ME. haha

thats the only thing i remember about the XFL

[SumSneakyDudes]

My name is Willie...WILLIE BEAMEN

[megapengwenman]

wut wuz so extreme about the xfl anyway?

[oskey22]

LA XTREME # 1, there the ones who won the championship.

[darkglasses]

Brian Bosworth was such a horrible color commentator. He just seemed like a real dick.

[smalls494]

This was the greatest league ever made!!

[MetalGearSolidYe]

That do Exist??? I rememeber 1999.. That was fake Wrestling LOL

[imniper]

XFL was a waste of money. It had no chance against the CFL and AFL for people trying to get into the NFL

[lookhereholmes]

The Xfl would have been fine if they didnt require the coaches to get hit with a steel chair after every touchdown.

[Jaycee230]

whatn ot a lot of people understand is that the XFL didn't use any wrestlers other than commentary. all the players were NFL draft rejects.

[godfather71190]

Wrong they were CFL rejects

[tybo09]

I miss Jim Ross calling games. He could actually call a football game pretty well.

[youcumgargler]

number 20 shud get in the nfl

[deejles]

whered you get all the footage?

[hockeyfighter21]

hahaha what a lame failure haha

[Broncos716]

what a joke that league was

[ABsSTLnation]

how did it have too much wrestling

[spartanquail57]

they put too much wrestling into this... they ruined what could have been potentially great

[Rockoss]

This video rocks, it's the only one that has real footage of the games.

[CraigFoye80]

This song is called "In Memory" by Shinedown.
