What is "He Hate Me" and how was the coin toss done. I know almost nothing about XFL except that is was a WWF meets NFL.

I was an SF Demons season ticket holder. The atmosphere at the games was great(plenty of liquor and lots of hot chicks)! Plus they played at the brand new pac bell park so I'm sure that helped.
pulled the cheerleaders straight from Mitchell bros.

that was about the only thing worth watching IMO.

Players were allowed to put any name on the back of their jerseys and a player named Rod Smart put He Hate Me, and it has become something of a pop culture phenomenon since then.

They would place the ball on the 50 and have a player from each team on the 30. They would then scramble and fight for the ball.

Did you make it to any demons games. A quarter of the crowd was hot drunk chicks.
Come to think of it most of us out there were Raider fans so maybe it wasnt your cup of tea.

Who got the ball at the start of the game was the best part of the game.

They would put the ball at the 50 yard line and 2 players would run at each other full blast to see who got to it firts, I remember the first time they did it one of the players dislocated his shoulder

I remember "He Hate Me"....the opening sprint off for the ball....the no fair catch on a punt rule.

I also remember a guy who couldn't make it in the NFL like John Avery look like Barry Sanders in the NFL. It was ridiculous. They had some innovative ideas, but the talent was horrible and the games were god awful. The new camera views were the best thing, and as someone said, the NFL adopted alot of those camera idea.

Yeah, the talent level was really low, and I think Arena football is a much better product than the XFL ever was.

Orlando Predators rule.

I watched the very first game which I think "He Hate Me" played in. I was pretty much done with it after that. I think the televisions ratings for the first game were a lot higher than expected. The ratings tanked in the second week and it was all downhill from there.
