If they had it at a different time of the year instead of the same time as the NFL then it would probably work. I saw on the news that they were looking for boarder line players that would probably not shine in the NFL as well as guys that are about ready to hang it up with an established name to finish their careers. The XFL was a joke IMO, it was just about as rediculous as wrestling has become. The reason the AFL worked so well was because back then there wasn't that many teams in the NFL back when it opened and it provided a large fan base in areas that didn't have current NFL teams with the exception of New York. I saw where they are looking for just 8 teams to start this year costing the owner $30 million dollars to purchase a team and that the remaining share holders will come from purchasing stocks in a team. They are wanting to put teams in professional sport crazed cities to get the fan base it needs right away to get their feet on the ground. The good thing about this is that the cities will own the franchise much like the people in Green Bay that own rights to the Packers. San Antonio is one city that I believe is getting a team as well as Las Vegas but not too sure of the other 6 cities.
