  • Not to mention it looks like it all acting when the announcers ask the players a question.

  • If the XFL had tried to sell itself as a semi-pro league, gotten some real talent, and still held true to their better rule changes (no-celebration penalties etc.) it could have worked. Believe me, there are plenty of crazy personalities in regular NFL players. But Vince McMahon made one of his few business mistakes and tried to sell it as WWE on a football field.

  • ok now they confused me more with football

  • What the fuck does everyone think the XFL was going to be?? it was fucking entertainment people!!!! It was WWF in football pads. I had no problem with it...after all...what else did we have to watch during those months except NBA and Baseball??? Shoot right now with this NBA lockout there probably won't be a NBA season...right now I'd wish for some XFL in the late winter/spring months. lol

  • XFL Weak 1.

  • who won the first ever and only XFL Championship? lol

  • @sikokiller12

    L.A. Extreme

  • still was football....just how it was played was just awful!

  • To this day I have yet to figure out why people called out the XFL cheerleaders so much. Exactly what is the difference in what they wear compared with the average NFL or NBA cheerleader? Absolutely nothing. It was just the sports media wanting something to bitch about and trying to create controversy. The XFL was a lot better than they made it out to be.

  • epic fail. 

  • I didn't mind the xfl...any1 else? btw I love the pun at the end.

  • @Russman1478 It actually made me a fan of professional football for the first time in my life.

  • XFL would have been sucessful but Vince made some bad decisions. In their first match, Vince had Rock do a monologue on screen. Second, Vince himself came out in the field and opened up the game. What this did was those in the media who hated wwe at the time said that xfl is just another small faction of wwe and the football is fake like wwe. That is why it failed. I kinda wish it didn't because NFL needs some competition. Maybe then we wouldn't have a stupid lockout.

  • let them bring it bak if there is no nfl season this yr,

  • @PolkMoney863 no shit

  • Vince McMahon is a great promoter...... a great wrestling promoter that is.

    The XFL failed because it drew the worst primetime network ratings in television history. It did that because it sucked.

  • Off course ESPN was against it, NBC was part owner of the league... If wasn't for that, and the fact Vince was also the owner, bet it would be live today...

  • @Luger911 that's not the reason. ESPN doesn't care who owns what they report what happens

  • Vince McMahon is pretty much a failure in all aspects of life and should just fade into obscurity or just die

  • @aRchEneMy543 The Man's a self made millionaire - or is he a billionaire now I'm not sure - I hardly think he can be called a failure in all aspects of life.

  • Had this league not been linked to Vince I bet it would still be here today!!

  • The XFL sucked!!!!!

  • i wonder if the nfl should change the coin toss rule to the rule in the xfl where u try to pick up the loose ball

  • @slapshot68 You best be trolling.

    I haven't seen a single person dislocate their shoulder during the NFL coin toss; just saying.

  • The quality of play sucked but at least they were allowed to actually hit each other in the XFL. Today's NFL is so faggy and hyper-sensitive when it comes to big hits you may as well watch soccer. In five years the NFL will be a two hand touch league.

  • @CrazyOldMaurice69 if it doesn't go back to that grazy ass sport that we all started to watch years ago there will probably be no NFL in five years

  • The ending poll...LOLZ

  • Rod Smarttt XFL legend..

  • i watched it, my team won too

  • This is what The World Wide Leader does as a shills for the leagues they have contracts with or wish to have contracts with.

  • scripted low life garbage? lol

  • Great idea, just didn't have quality players to make it work. Those cheerleaders were sexy though

  • Man I wish the XFL stayed around... who wouldn't want to see a collision between WWE and NFL? And talk about sacking!

  • What the hell? They film them during the huddle when they are calling their plays

  • I want to see Jamarcus Russell try to play in the XFL.

  • hey well to be really honest the XFL really looks like Blitz the league in real life..

  • You know what was the telling sign for the XFL? I recall weeks before their (feeble) season, a blimp promoting the leagut smashed into a building.

  • Comment removed

  • XFL => Quarterbacks getting raped

  • lmao at the ppol at the end

  • When the XFL started up, it felt like wow!..".this could be the alternative league that get's it "right".

    Unlike the USFL, the league would start slow and build a following. I was pretty stoked!, Then I watch the first game, about 10 minutes into it I knew it wouldn't be around much longer. I was pretty fookin pissed!!.

    I'm still bitter to this day!

    Fuck the XFL, Vince McMahon blew it hard!

  • UFL is a joke! what is more boring then watching a game with 500 people in the stands? Hell, at least the XFL was drawing about 20,000 a game. I did some research and the lowest attended XFL game was 10,000 and change. A figure i'm sure the UFL would've killed for lmao!

  • XFL- XTRA FUCKING LAME

  • fail

  • At least they had one talent come out of there Rod Smart A.K.A He Hate Me

  • UFL sounds more decent lol XFL? And the teams names Rage, Hitmen etc haha wtf? check out UFL that doesnt compete with the NFL, know that looks like it has a better future

  • Well the UFL might have a better future if the NFL does indeed go to a lockout in 2011, I'm sure more than a few players would seek employment in the UFL to stay in shape and earn some cash while the players and owners negotiate a new CBA

  • I've never had so much fun at a game than I had during the XFL.

    Yes, I'm aware that the football sucked. But the atmosphere was unlike any I've encountered since. When you have a bunch of drunk Raider & 49er fans, watching terrible football, you have to turn it into a party. There was a "dancing Homer", Girls getting arrested for lifting up their shirts, & so much more. I was looking forward to the season after that didn't happen. R.I.P. Hell Hole.

  • @TheAccountSecond77 whoever that was? thats vincent kennedy mcmahon

  • Tommy Maddoux won a NFL playoff game in the 2002 playoffs aganist the Browns in the wild card round

  • This is what the NFL would be if the fans had there way.

  • Obviously not, since the XFL had barely any viewers and therefore went out of business.

  • Terrell Owens

    Coach Green

    what other dummies would be perfect for XFL?

    think with me

  • I really loved the XFL and its a true shame it didn't get a fair shot. One season was too short imho. :(

  • what does the xfl stand 4?

  • Xtreme football league duh.

  • no it didnt thats what everyone thought but if they had called it that they would have got sued cuz there was a league called the xtreme football league but it never played it got bought out. XFL had no meaning

  • xfl sucked, first of all it had something to do with vince wwf-face. second it all focused on sex and the cheer leaders. third, x? as in xtreme? its so stupid and gimmicky. the packaging was all wrong.

  • the xfl is stupid its a joke and disrespects the game, garbage

  • The XFL had some pretty solid players. Many remember Tommy Maddox, but Shante Carver, Jim Druckenmiller, Kurt Gouveia, Rod("He Hate Me'")Smart, Jermaine Copeland, Jose Cortez, Wally Richardson, and Jeff Brohm also played in the XFL.

    XFL teams were never going to beat NFL teams. But I liked their innovative rules,like no fair catches on punts, and having to run or pass for the point after touchdowns.

    Many folks felt the XFL was too much like wrestling, and didn't take the XFL seriously.

  • Jesse Ventura is no John Madden

  • Jonathan Coachman god you suck

  • This might have been the worst idea ever.

  • THIS IS THE XFL!

  • that human coin toss was totally awful!

    reminds me of touch icing in hockey, that needs to go too.

  • nothing more than just all the negative media attention that everyone gave the XFL. The league would still be around today if not for stuff like this, it needed time.

  • Comment removed

  • fuck you men that league was a joke! i mean human ''coin toss'' look at that guy with that separated shoulder that looked so painfull, the no fair catch rule wtf is that ??it isn't better tthan a five yds rule and i can't fucking believe that they interview the coaches during the game on the speakers...just a joke of a league men! i'm glade there's still only the nfl and the cfl along with ncaa

  • theres 2 new leagues starting in 2010 though

  • Don't forget the UFL

  • I hope the United Football League will do better.

  • ESPN completely buried the XFL here, mostly because it was owned by Vince and because Vince owns the WWE, ESPN must bag on this. I can GUARANTEE you that if the NFL instituted some of the XFL rules, ESPN would be praising it. Fuck ESPN for slamming pro wrestling, fuck ESPN for everything they stand for. Fuck them.

  • Actually, ESPN didn't bury professional wrestling. In fact, there was a segment on the WWE no tto long ago. The fact is that the XFL just blew. The level of play was was just awful, and the constant showbaoting was just annoying. The only good thing that ever came out of it was Tommy Maddock.

  • Actually his name is Tommy Maddox and was the NFL comeback player of the year because of his play one year after winning the Million Dollar Game. Although he wasn't the only XFLer to make it in the NFL. Jose Cortez; kicker for SF49er, Rod 'He Hate Me"Smart running back Carolina Panthers, and more than a few others. The play of the league was decent, the camera work and coverage sucked.

  • its maddox

  • who the hell is tommy maddock???

  • he play for the LA XTREME in XFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers in NFL dummy.

  • uhh no. tommy maddox played for the pittsburgh steelers. Tommy maddock didnt play for shit. dummy.

  • Your a dumbass he played for both U DUMB SHIT

  • Tommy Maddock isnt a real player dumb fuck.

  • pro wrestlings gay and fake. have fun watching a bunch a sweaty guys in tights hugging eachother

  • Wait you watch american football?

  • I've only choked through a couple games of the XFL. And to be honest, I think it might've turned out better. If Vince had kept his stupid WWE shit where it belongs and not anywheres else where it doesn't belong.

    Because it's obvious that most of the XFL's influence was based off of WWE.

  • The XFL didn't have too many good players. The NFL (began in 1920), Arena Football League (Began in 1987, died in 2009), CFL (began in 1958) got alot of good players and XFL didn't get enough. My father told me that XFL died because of, Not any good players, but that's not it. It's because of low ratings in later games, lack of respect from sports media, and eventually, it was a joke. Is there anything I need to say.

  • hey at least we didnt have to watch only two football shows nfl or collage at least it gave us another choice i guess :/

  • better hope the ufl is not like this

  • XFL was complete fucking garbage

  • they said 50 percent of people would not watch the XFL in week 2...and they didn't!!

  • At least they were honest

  • XFL was just terrible.

  • Jesse Ventura can replace John Madden

  • I was expecting the XFL to take on a following a lot like the wrestling crowd.

  • i remember watching XFL, it was pretty awesome

  • a failed experiment in sports entertainment

  • People liked the sex appeal? Those cheerleaders looked the same as NFL cheerleaders, hot but nothing different. Them coming out in micro bikinis would've been sexy.

  • they would take off there clothes sometimes

  • the NFl shit in there pants during there first week, but after the XFL's 2nd week, the NFl felt good after

  • lol this league would be perfect for terrell owens

  • @spartan11036 ochocino

  • The ESPN had a problem with the XFL because they are owned by ABC and they view the NBC, which own part of the XFL, as competitors. So their views are slanted.

  • good observation. nonetheless, the quality of entertainment that the xfl provided was bad lol. i was a kid when this came out and it couldn't even gain my attention past one viewing.

  • I think an XFL team would beat the Detroit Lions right now

  • lol this shit is funny

  • some people are just afraid of something different

  • people would watch this now because theres not that much hard hitting in nfl anymore because players get fined for every hard hit

  • i bet if vince brought that back to day it would last i know i would watch it has every thing i dont like about the nfl

  • At least the XFL tried to be innovative with its rules, though they failed - maybe the new leagues launching in 2009 (UFL) and 2010 (USFL) will take up the mantle and offer great football

  • They have to be smart though. The USFL had a nice niche going, until they decided they were going to compete with the NFL head to head. They went out of business in like a month.

  • Yet it seems nobody's interested in Spring leagues, so the UFL & USFL will play in the Autumn and Winter as is traditional, but on different days to the NFL (ie. on days other than Monday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday to avoid clashing with NFL fixtures). We can only hope fans support them...I know I will.

  • i miss the xfl

  • is xfl fake planed out football?

  • man the XFL was such an epic fail

  • stfu soccer fag

  • that's funny, your mom *loves* my soccer balls! in her mouth. bitch juggles them like she was trying out for the hounslow harriers!...

  • a fake and gay comment from a fake and gay person. it's really sad how little boys like you come to youtube and say such dumb stuff. i bet you're still a virgin. btw, fuck you , soccer and the whore you call a mom.

  • it may indeed be a fake comment, but it is objectively not-gay. listen here anal dildo, i played nose tackle for jw sexton hs in lansing, mi (undefeated senior year) in the late '80s, and also anchored the defense for only back2back club soccer team in UVA history (grad school in the late '90s), so i can tell you: american football sucks ass. its all standing around. in soccer everyone touches the ball and the game never stops. american football has television timeouts, and that's just sad.

  • No you didn't. You're still in high school, and you spend every day after school having sex with your teachers.

  • lol!  you need to shut the fuck up you imp-like cunt...every single thing i posted about myself was 100% true. i live so large i don't need to make shit up to impress people. my excellence is manifest.

    while you nipple at the crumbs of mediocrity, i fucking wolf down enlightenment pie. you better act like you know assclown!...

  • Ok bitch. Tell your principal after school tomorrow I said hello. Just make sure not to gurgle it out while you're using his dick to brush your teeth.

  • lol, please do not project your homosexual fantasy life onto me. the truth is, you could not be further from the mark.

    also, just because you fell victim to childhood sexual predation *does not* mean you need to perpetuate the cycle of abuse. break free dybeen, you can do it!

    finally, a word of advice, you fucking mental midget: do not approach, much less attempt to accost, your superiors, lest you receive a smackdown commensurate with your impudence.

  • Lots of fancy words from a queer trying way too hard to sound intelligent. Don't be getting mad because you're nothing more than a bitch.

  • you ignorant twat! i do not try to sound intelligent, i AM intelligent. it is effortless.

    you, however, are a tiresome and annoying child, and i shall henceforth ignore you, as my time is far more valuable than the return i get on it by responding to your inane drivel. here's another fancy word for you: fuckwit.

  • I'll admit, your insults make for fine reading. By "ignoring" me, you're going to run away with your tail between your legs, like the pussy you are.

  • Also, you're trying way too hard. It's blatantly obvious you're a moron.

    You also never denied having sex with your principal.

    I hope you swallow it all while you've got his pubic hairs tickling your nose and his dick lodged down your throat.

  • hahahahahaha... funny stuff

  • This was a horrible display of Football and NFL greats actually sponsored this non-sense.

  • Everything about the XFL was "yawn", it put everybody to sleep!

    But one good thing coming out of it? Rod "He Hate Me" Smart would later play for the Carolina Panthers and much later, Super Bowl XXXVIII!!

    They lost to the Patriots, but we all know what was the REAL highlight from the game!

  • janet's tit?

  • you sir are correct and win a Kentucky Coin

  • the scramble for the ball was cool. coin tosses are "yawn"..... zzzzzzzz.
