The only XFL championship was also the worst

[@FiSTofSTEeL112]

The XBA- the hoops are only 8 feet high and 2 feet in diameter, half court shots are worth 10, instead of free throws you get tossed an alley oop into a slam dunk The XLB- steroids required, outfield fences can be no more than 350 feet away, home plate collisions mandatory even if there’s no play, bat flips required or else the player will be called out The XHL- literally just fistfights for 3 periods, last man standing wins

[@str8kronic]

XGA (golf) mandatory reenactment of atleast, but not limited to, 1 happy Gilmore scene, per golfer, per hole. XASCAR- all racecars must be convertibles, no helmets, drivers required to give cell phone interviews during race, seatbelts prohibited, pitstops for gas and nas refills only

Well, it seems Vince McMahon learned something from this failure. One of the core reasons the XFL failed was because it tried to inject more violence into a sport that didn't need any more violence. The new XFL will have no cheerleaders, no two man scrum to determine first possession, and no rules that inspire more violence than the NFL already has. Also, I doubt this league has any wrestling partenerships. Instead, this new XFL is supposed to be a simpler and faster version of the NFL. Here are some of its rule changes Kickoffs come from the 30 yard line. However, all of the players from the kick coverage team start from the receiving team's 35 yard line and the blockers start from their own team's ten yard line. Furthermore, only the kicker and kick returner can move until the kick returner has the ball. This is meant to decrease injuries without turning every kickoff into a touchback. Punting teams cannot use gunners and any coffin corner kick is brought back to the receiving team's 35 yard line. This rule is intended to encourage teams to go for it more on fourth downs. Teams are allowed to throw two forward passes on a play provided that they aren't thrown past the line of scrimmage. The clock moves continuously, except on two minute warnings. Before you think that it makes games too short, know that all the helmets have radios so the offensive coordinator can inform all the players about his play without the need of a huddle. This means that a higher percentage of the game is the players, well, playing football. There is a Sky Judge who reviews all the plays. Even the NFL should have a referee whose sole job is instant replay. And of course, the rule for 1, 2, and 3 point PATs (with one point being a play from the two yard line, two points being a play from the five yard line, and three points being a play from the ten yard line) have been rolled over from the original XFL. It was one of the few things that league did correctly. I hope these rule changes and more can create an entertaining football league

Well I guess we can now say at least the XFL had a Championship game unlike the AAF

[@cormack1635]

I think its a strange coincidence that every time the XFL has a season, something terrible happens. In 2001, we had the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center, and in 2020 we had the COVID-19 pandemic.

[@jamie-dempsey]

So... when are you going to update the worst Superbowl???

[@bolbyballinger]

Probably when a bad Super Bowl happens. This past one wasn't riddled with sloppy play from everyone, the defenses actually played great. Compare that to the Broncos losing 55-10 against the 49ers . . .

[@soulexchangemusic]

Actully it was, its not hard for a defense to look decent when the offences and play calling are ass. i would of rather had that blowout game, at least one team is compitant

[@jamie-dempsey]

If the GOAT can only score 13 points in the most important game of the year, then we know it's a really bad game. The awful Falcons should've scored more than Tom Brady.

[@sunburner_ray]

The defenses didn’t even play all that well. Both definitely played above average, but both QBs missed some receivers, and the right guard on the Rams was basically throwing the game. The defenses are not as good as people are making it out to be

[@openingband]

@@biprilly This channel chooses to not communicate anything on their channel. Hosts come and go and they say nothing. I started watching this back when Jon ran his own channel and all I am saying is he makes a great host and it is annoying that he took a management roll. He is behind the scenes a ton but that don't help me. At least on his own channel I got him.

[@kayfabecandyass2835]

XFL 2020 is a product of McMahon stubbornness and any hardcore WWE fan will agree. If he wanted to get back into football he should have at least called the new league something else. The name XFL is still a punchline in American sports after all these years.

[@Jesus_Zendejas]

Agree on the name even though i kinda think it will do better than the first time around cuz of the different approach this time

[@ubon11]

The new XFL, and the AAF, will work this time because of internet access, which wasn’t available back then. Fantasy football and on line gambling are now all possible while watching the game on your phone. Guaranteed, it’s gonna work.

[@kreativkeem6864]

ubon11 great points

[@bolbyballinger]

Two leagues, both of which will compete directly with each other while also trying to steal college rosters. Basically the little dudes have to overcome the big dude while also fighting each other. Let me put it this way. There has been a women's football league for YEARS and not once did it even show the slightest sign of life. College football came at a time where people didn't think of the new guy as an inherently crappy version of what we already had. The new leagues have no such luxury.

[@ubon11]

Bolby Ballinger the AAF will follow NFL rules on college players, while the XFL will not. If both do all right, perhaps a merger? Or maybe an XFL-AAF championship game? The key is to establish themselves as an offseason football league. No need to beat the NFL, just beat hockey, basketball, and MLB. It’s possible.

[@jhupp8707]

Bolby Ballinger College football was around way before the NFL

[@nickhill8612]

@Muka Legurine The CFL did have teams in the USA years ago.

[@ianism3]

you should do the worst CFL seasons... the 2 years they tried to expand to the US. all the US teams except one were extremely poorly managed. at least two didn't play on fields that were big enough for example, and teams were folding and relocating all over the place. and that one exception? they had to change names before playing a game because they took the name of an NFL team

[@mrschroeder1982]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that the MVP of the "Million Dollar Game" was Jose Cortez. That's right, the MVP was LA's placekicker.

I was young when the XFL title game happened, but I remember this game being very exciting. A high scoring close game if my memory serves. EDIT: Then I watched the vid and I guess my memory does not serve. I could have swore both teams had high 20s-mid 30s in point totals... huh

[@MasterOfViewership]

😮‍💨

[@pirate772009]

I don't even give the new XFL a full season. Between the NFL, AAF, and CFL, there won't be anyone worth a damn who will wanna play. Aside from that, it's market saturation. The AAF is a much more serious league because of its ties to the NFL and the XFL will just be a joke.

[@Geno2733]

The CFL gets limited exposure down here. Although I don't see how the XFL can compete with the AAF.

[@danielmocsny5066]

Plus the AAF got in the door first. The XFL might have had a chance to market sub-NFL talent if it signed that talent before the AAF did. But now the XFL will be competing for an even lower tier of players. The problem for all these rival leagues is that you can't hide the lack of talent. It was obvious with the first XFL, once the hype wore off after week 1. Maybe a huckster like McMahon can fool some of the idiot fans, but he can't fool the professional sports talking heads. A product won't survive when the Stephen A. types begin heaping scorn on it daily. The talking heads tell sports fans what to think, and most of us eventually fall in line. It's very hard to remain a fan of a league that's getting ridiculed constantly on the sports commentary shows. Those shows are on constantly while the actual games are just a few hours per week.

[@emac7050]

Still true through 2020 wow.

I love that they brought in/installed a WWE style “Titantron” and pyro for every game!
