C'mon guys, it was better than nothing after the NFL season was over. Of course we now have Arena which is bad azz as well. Still wish the XFL was here.

One of the main problems with the XFL General is they promised to be so much more different and exciting than the NFL. When you think about it, what did they do differently? Not too much different except allowing excessive celebrations and the wearing of goofy names on the back of their jerseys. I think ideas such as each team being allowed only 1-2 penalties per quarter, and any penalties after that, the opponent had the option of accepting the penalty yards, or electing that the other team has to sit one of it's 11 players down for 2:00 - 3:00 minutes. How exciting would it be to see a defense try to hold off an ofense who outnumbers them 11-10, or 11-9 for a couple minutes.......:EEK: :awesom:

I think it was just the fact that Vince and the WWF were involved that ruined it.

The CFL in Vegas was 20-1 over the XFL.

To bad the deadbeat fans in Vegas could not support the team.

Ron Myer destroyed the franchise for all practical purposes.........bad coach.

LOL, I was an XFL LA EXTREME season ticket holder. The first game was one of the craziest events I ever attended...tons of fights, people throwing food at eachother, chicks flashing tits, and some terrible football. After cops in riot gear had to clear one section at the end of the game they sent all season ticket holders a letter promising more security and police at future games. I remember cashing unders for the whole first half of the xfl season...

CFL is great too. It is better than XFL, but still XFL was something when we had nothing.

The Arena game is doing great. Will be some good spectacles here in Vegas next 3 years with the ArenaBowl in town. I kind of wish they would move it back to the MGM, having it at the T&M just takes away from it being such a Vegas-style event. And don't tell me it wasn't cool that you could bet the game just as you entered the doors. Imagine the lines they would have at an NFL game's betting booth if it was right outside the gates!
