I hope they can stay open and provide good football. I was watching at AFF (Alliance of American Football) games and they had some really good talent. Orlando had a great team and I was sad to see them fold.

 

[Dead2009]

I think this version of the XFL will stick around for a little while because it's lot more professionally done than the first incarnation.

This starts up next week and while I don't have much of a dog in this fight so to speak due to no Philly teams, but I want Vince's idea to succeed this go-round. The last one was too WWE-esque for me.

 

[Dead2009]

I am for one am pretty excited. First game is Seattle/DC!

I'm impressed with the quality and turnout of fans.

Meh. It just seems like a stop gap until baseball.
