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

[@andysee6996]

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

The XFL can work out if they do it right. If they make the age limit 18 it could potentially be an alternative for 5 && 4star athletics that want to get paid right away which would be great for the kids && the league. I REALLY hope it works out cuz itd be fun to have.

[@bolbyballinger]

I think the AAF is doing something similar and unlike the XFL it seems to be competently ran. Once kids realize that the coaching in either is so piss poor that it's impossible to actually get drafted from either they'll just stick with college though. Both are doomed for failure, but at least the AAF is trying.

[@JamesCook-tj2fq]

it will work if Vince has no control. The use of "X" is the result if the WWF strange fetish for the letter

[@StaySqueezy12]

That would suck for 4 and 5 star recruits though. They would have one year in the XFL but then have to go to the NFL at 19. Not many 19 year olds 5 star of not are physically ready for the NFL.

[@comingupooo]

Good idea, problem is it's Vince so he'll find a way to screw them over in doing so.

[@harrisonmckinney7659]

According to “The 6th Day” XFL is going to be huge here soon.

[@k-malgangsta4899]

Harrison McKinney yep

[@TheLocalLt]

The only thing you messed up was misreading “H-Back” as “Halfback”. A halfback is a running back, whereas an H-back is a tight end. These guys were tight ends

[@SortaNonymous]

6:59 "You talk about a backfire! You talk about a plan gone bad!" Genuinely one of my favorite announcer calls in football history, and definitely one of the funniest! Whenever I hear of a spectacularly failed, ill-conceived plan, that line's one of the first things that comes to mind. (Even if ironically it probably could have been a really cool trick play had the QB not been literally the only player to know about it.)

I once had the opportunity to see an XFL game at Soldier Field in February. I was like, nah...I'm good.

[@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

[@frogman7354]

@@sunburner_ray But is it worst than sb20, 22, 24, 48 or are you just butthurt that the Pats won?

Unmentioned was that announcer and former professional wrestler, Jesse Ventura, was also the current governor of Minnesota. He was not reelected.

@@biprilly Not that. It was a moment of love from him now back to nothing. I would rather consistent videos on here than 1 doc every couple months. Also, since your asking, I want a big mac meal from Mcdicks, some new sneakers for bball and to not have to reply to youtube comments from a stranger I will never meet.

[@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.

[@VersaceJesus]

Vince McMahon spent most of the fortune he'd made on the WWF Attitude Era on the XFL. The rest he spent on the failed WWF Times Square Restaurant. His son Shane McMahon had instead suggested that Vince purchase the UFC, which was struggling at the time and had a very affordable price tag.

[@GeographyKing]

Where do the best players not quite good enough for the NFL play? Canada, AAF or XFL?

[@fraudulentfem7322]

The Arena football league. The CFL is actually a respectable league, and people do aspire to be in the CFL. There have been a few CFL players who made it in the NFL like Doug Flutie, Jon Ryan, Mike Vanderjagt...

[@TheEmoCat]

it is now no longer the only one

[@BHV0810]

Still to this day the only XFL championship

[@oldaccount6297]

Coincidence? 8 is a number. There are 8 letters in "SB Nation". Will was on Dorktown sometimes. Dorktown was Pretty Good. John Bois hosted Dorktown and Pretty Good. John Bois is our god. God has 3 letters. Boi has 3 letters. Boi starts with the same letter as Barry Bonds. So please watch his good video on Barry Bonds thank you

When starting an alternative football league, Birmingham and Memphis are contractually obligated to have teams

[@siegesquirrel42]

Maybe the next time Vince McMahon tries to restart the XFL, he should predetermine the winners and apply kayfabe. After all, given the success of WWE, he seems to have a pretty good handle on fake sports. It's real ones he can't be trusted with.

[@Bg518albs]

"and his mic is being fed to the crowd...who would think o doing that?" The answer is Vincent Kennedy McMahon (who I would play the theme music for..But this is a text comment).

[@savagesam93]

The thing that intrigues me about the XFL is that it really cared about the experience for fans and players. It may not have been the most well-thought-out, but damn was it interesting allowing players to play more aggressively, choose their own name gimmick and have more flair, and getting the fans more engaged with the action.

[@n00badit99]

man, Will talking about rewinding a certain topic in sport, thats a really great idea, you guys should make a show about it :-)

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
