My High school football coach played in the XFL and my other coach was NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Mathews

Remember it? The real question is, how could one forget it? Besides the LA Xtreme, there was really no offense to be found. They changed rules mid-season to create more offense but in the end, it's the talent that takes over.

BTW, for a guy named "Rod Smart," I found it somewhat ironic the back of his jersey said, "He Hate Me."

War Tommy Maddox schooling the kicker, Jose Cortez!

From all I've heard about Mike Schmidt, he's a real asshole. It isn't just from you, but from many others who have met him or tried to talk to him.

The XFL was actually pretty extreme guys, I mean that's why they had teh X

He hate me was the mvp of th league

Things I remember about the XFL:

The "He Hate Me" name saved Rod Smart's career. Because of the distinction, he was given a second chance in the NFL. He eventually ended up as a kick returner on the Eagles...I have no clue where he is now though.

The over-the-shoulder camera angles were compleletly innovative and eventually imitated by the NFL.

I remember that there was a mini-uproar over the Memphis Maniax name and logo...due to it seemingly glorifying people with mental illnesses:


The first weeks ratings were huge, but a big blunder practically killed it in the second week. There was one game that went into OT and overran its timeslot...making Saturday Night Live not air in its entirity. The producers of SNL made a big fuss over things, and the XFL was never the same.

The opening dash was stupid, yet cool at the same time. As mentioned before, it caused many injuries.

Their superbowl was initially named "The Big Game at the End." Also stupid.

To tell you the truth, I think Kimbo would have fit in well in a league like this one.
