    I'll tune in for the games that I can pick up with antenna (Fox and ABC). Bottom line is that I want to be entertained.

    I watched a lot of the AAF games last year and I'd say half the games were garbage. People don't want to watch an 11-8 game where the punter is the star of the game.

    I just don't see how the quality of play in the XFL is going to be a step up from the AAF. The AAF was frustrating at times to watch when the QB can't hit an open receiver or the receiver can't catch the ball with nobody covering him. I questioned how these skill position players even made it that far beyond the high school level.

    Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:

    The only thing I do not like so far is there are only 8 teams.

    Any more and you're going to dilute the talent pool.

    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    Even with the screwy rules of the CFL it's a hard watch.

    I tried watching the CFL and I just can't get into it because of the rules. Only 3 downs is the biggest offender.

    Quoted from DaveH:

    Here is why Alliance went under... the football sucked.

    It went under because they didn't have any money. And the football sucked.

    Quoted from Electrocute:

    I welcome anything to get through the summer months. But wait, I’ve got the summer olympics to look forward to. Bad timing for XFL?

    Not sure if srs. XFL will be over in April

    Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:

    In my opinion though, they should start a tad earlier. The NFL pro bowl sucks, so they should start that weekend, and even have early games before the NFL superbowl.

    I agree. Maybe even have a Thursday night game to start the season before the weekend of the Pro Bowl and have a full slate of games on Saturday. Repeat for the weekend of the Super Bowl. Then go to the Saturday/Sunday schedule for the rest of the season.
