Imagine every QB being as bad as Brock Osweiler. That's gonna be this league.

Brock can make an NFL roster. This was/is an entire league of guys who cant.

It's a league of people who look up to Brock Osweiler's skill

Did the original XFL even finish its first season? I honestly can't remember.

A kicker won the "Million Dollar Game" MVP

It was the same feeling at the time. "Oh man a league with good games, extra football we can watch, guys trying their heart out."

It was worse than Thursday Night Football every game. Maybe if they had a better lead up to the league, practice time, better workouts, the on field product would be good. But as it was? The games were really bad outside of a handfull.

And then instead of trying to improve the onfield stuff, they just added more camera shots of cheerleaders, and promos and cheerleader lockerrooms.

My favorite fact about the XFL 1.0 was that there was no health insurance for the players

Everyone make a football league. They can find cool stuff, then the NFL can steal it.

If someone makes a nice XFL thread tag that fits with the others I can get it added.

It will be great in 2 years when there is no AAF or XFL but we still have thread tags for them

I made a dumb thread tag that I spent all of 7 minutes making:



But it doesn't explode and burn down like the real XFL, and also we need to wait for an admin to add it for us.

I hope my team gets assigned Vad Lee because that's a hell of a name.

The Battlehawks labeled their positions: Gunslingers, Playmakers, Wing Backs, Brick Wall.

This is the way.
