Actually, I found the XFL to be more "real" than the NFL at times.

At least in the XFL, they HIT and let the players play. It was just the management that was the real problem.

To the contrary, that's exactly what it meant.

The XFL was relentlessly hyped and overexposed almost immediately...

Once the casual viewer realized that there was nothing special about the games themselves, there was no reason for the league to exist, and NBC wisely got rid of it..

Seems like this league would have been a perfect fit for Rex Ryan. He could have had Bart Scott chair shot someone, then his finishing manuever could have been called the "CAN'T WAIT!!!" LMAO
