In getting star players the XFL is already having setbacks:
1. Former NFL WR Dwayne Bowe would play in the XFL if the money was right, just like Greg Hardy. But also just like Greg Hardy he has a criminal record.
2. Tim Tebow didn't respond to a question about possibly playing in the XFL. He's...
I like it far better than the old one. As crappy as the players may be, at least they will be trying to win. That's the main problem with All Star Games. Heck ASG's went out of style years ago. Only thing any good that's left is the Home Run Derby and 3 point contest.
Even though I think it's too early for team rumors (I might be wrong about that) Orlando is already getting mentions in the rumor mill and someone is making a case for the XFL in West Virginia...
Well if you fail the 1st weekend you still have the 3rd week's slate of games for people suffering from football withdrawal (basically every football fan). This gives you two chances to succeed and get fans (allowing you to fail once) instead of one.
Admit it, most people will watch the first week out of curiosity. Maybe even the 3rd week considering some rumors that the first week would be Pro Bowl weekend.
