You know, in hindsight it's obvious that the XFL was a terrible, terrible idea, but looking back I suppose someone had to think it was a good idea to actually do the XFL.

E: Costas just coming on and making GBS threads on it immediately.

I really wish NBC had never lost the AFC package. They were actually GOOD at covering the league unlike CBS who seems like they lost something after they lost the NFC.

In theory...creating a "new" football league around that time would have been a good idea if done right. The NFL was really struggling, and was at a very weak point within (like right now) and some competition was definitly needed. Each time that the NFL was indeed "vulnerable" a new league would pop up full of owners, players, coaches and teams that the NFL had kinda rejected.

The XFL should have followed the lead of the AFL, USFL by finding owners like Cuban, etc that the NFL wanted nothing to do with and went hog wild.

Funny story about the USFL, you know the owner who convinced them to to take the fatal step of moving to compete directly against the NFL, and thus sealed their demise?

How hilarious that the XFL was hurt by a good game.

He also wrote an extremely angry letter to the guy who directed that particular 30 for 30 too.
