XFL!

On the 4th of July I'm sure most of you Digital Lovers are expecting a patriotic post. Well, this is better, it is about the XFL (Xtreme Football League) For those of you who don't know about the XFl it was (and still is) a joke. Now I'm going to break down how awful it was. Here is a brief history. Error #1- idea In 2001 Vince McMahon started this league (original worth = 35 million dollars) to be wrestling and football combined. Error #2- team names just read these-Orlando Rage, Chicago Enforcers, NY/NJ Hitmen, Birmingham Bolts, Los Angeles Extreme, San Francisco Demons, Memphis Maniax, Las Vegas Outlaws. Error #3- rule changes Could have ruined the league just by these. Kicking- the elimination of the fair catch on punts, great idea Vince. Also any punt over 25 yards is a live ball, just like a kickoff and all kickoffs into the end zone must be brought out. Defense- defensive backs will be allowed to employ the old bump and run all the way down field. Extra Points, the XFL is too extreme for the stupid extra point, so they decided to make scoring team line up at the two-yard line and attempt to score by passing or running the ball in, this was not be a two-point conversion either. It was only worth one point. Error #4- players. The Fatal one. The XFL players were like the NBDL, but worse. Here is the biggest issue XFL Offensive MVP - John Avery, RB. Yes the Ole Miss great who was a first round draft pick of the Dolphins. Should not have played football after Ole Miss. Avery was the XFL rushing leader with 800 yards. Coming in second on the rushing list was "He Hate Me" Rod Smart 555 yards. Yes, the 2nd leading rusher in the XFL was a man who cannot put together a complete thought in the English language. #4 on the rushing list was former Heisman winner Rashaan Salaam. He is not good at football. Associated Press XFL Player of the Year - Tommy Maddox. Enough said, at one point in his career Tommy was behind Tee Martin on the Steelers depth chart. Check out this XFL video.



After seeing this video, this what I think what actually happened.
The XFL got two very good high school teams to play one another in a big stadium with random former JuCo, NFL draft bust , and D III players names on the back. They got girls in inappropriate outfits to attract fans. The gameplay was 20 minutes long, there were 3 Offensive Lineman, and you only had 2 downs to score. They made up stats.

Final Analysis- All of these key ingredients combined to make the XFL only last one year, and loose everyone involved lose a lot of money. And make the league a joke. The video quality was the game quality of the league.
One more note. The championship game was- Los Angeles Extreme 38 San Francisco Demons 6
And to sum up the XFL the championship MVP was Jose Cortez K Los Angeles.

*I did not make any of that up.
