Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I remember an interesting coin toss concept where they wrestle over a ball. Was always pretty sloppy - but felt very american gladiators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I remember they encouraged the players to date the cheerleaders. The whole thing was a terrible concept from the get go, it was full of gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Vince owning all the teams hurt the legitimacy if Vince had allowed other owners to own the teams and kept himself in a commissioner type role we may be looking at the XFL still in business today. Between that and some of the silly ideas it could have been a real difference. It's amazing the XFL cost Vince over $1B and he's still rich after throwing that away.

metzelaars_lives Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Spring of my senior year in college, we used to pregame to the XFL on mute/tunes. It wasn't a bad scene at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynical Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Doesn't matter who owns it. People want to see the NFL when it comes to professional football. The 1960s would like to have a word with you. IMO, the USFL would have been a successful venture, if the owners had followed the original blueprint. They didn't. The owners destroyed that league, because they did not want to "wait" to be able to play with the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsintaiwan Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) It would be cool to have a game with less rules. Tired of watching referees seemingly determine every bloody game. The condensed games on nfl.com actually show all the instant replay delays and penalty calls. The NFL is garbage and had I not been raised on the Bills, I'd not watch.

The NFL is garbage and had I not been raised on the Bills, I'd not watch. same. it's a bloated product. we watch four hours of television for 10 minutes of "action." the majority of which is incomplete passes, 1-3 yard runs, and great plays being wiped out by penalties.

billsfan89 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The XFL's lasting impact will be that it was the first league to popularize the sky cam. Still used in NFL and most leagues broadcasts. Other than that not much to be positively remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
