What does /sp/ think about the XFL?

it was okay, I'm not a big Vin Diesel fan though

Most people on /sp/ were shitting in their pants on a daily basis when this was around.

I was just getting out of high school.

I promised myself I wouldn't feel old today.

this shit would of work if they had open tryouts. an alternative to ncaa amateur ball.

Killer clown mascot.

>>74192143
Don't feel old, most people on /sp/ are still shitting their pants regularly.

>>74192143
I'm pretty sure /sp/ didn't exist when the XFL was around.

>>74191547
I think it doesn't exist anymore.

>>74191547
I saw two games when I was 10. The players were all trash and some of the rules were stupid (no fair catch). The wrestling elements they tried to mix in were weird. I liked Jim Ross' commentary, though

it made for a good 30 for 30
shame that guy forgot to put gas in the generators

bob costas is a faggot

>>74197773
I found the 30 for 30 hilarious. Vince clearly didn't have a clue about how a league and franchises were supposed to run

>>74191547
Is this the Vince McMahon or the Donald Trump handegg league?

>>74198584
Vince McMahon

>>74198477

You mean he doesn't understand competitive sports because he runs theatre with a pantomime sports aesthetic that involves prescripted outcomes?

>>74199883
Exactly, he just said that the XFL was going to start within 1 year, no teams defined, no owners, just muh smashmouth fertbell, like absolutely no organisation nor planning. The execution was so bad it's hilarious

Did he choose X because he's a manchild who thinks it is a cool letter?

Vince wanted to buy the CFL previously, but the 3 community owned teams stopped it

>>74199916
the budget was so low, they should have had a limited exhibition season with a lot of practices to make a better product

>>74198584
>hand egg

Fuck off to your divegrass threads, achmed.

>>74199980
He figured his dumb audience thought X was a cool letter

They picked the wrong sport. A XBA with nothing but dunks and showboating and fancy dribbling would have gotten huge ratings esp from blacks

There's very few ways to showboat in football besides trick plays and endzone celebrations.

The league had some pretty good ideas, but had some pretty shitty ones too.

The good.
>Cameras everywhere
>Custom player name plates
getting paid more to win

The bad
>The dumb 1 point 2 point conversion
>Sprinting for the 1st possession
>Stripper cheerleaders
>Telling everyone how little the players get paid, especially kickers

>>74201828
jesus you sound insecure

>Vince McMahon

Literally who

>>74202522
That was called Slamball and it didn't really take off, either.

>>74192889

What do you mean by that? I would hope that wouldn't be the case. Would be fucking hell to clean up.

You mean the NBA?

>>74208667
100,000 people probably claim to have seen that game there

>>74191547
The loose ball scramble to decide who receives should be implemented in the NFL.

>>74192939
XFL precedes /sp/ by about 7 years.

This guy>>74192143

It was 90s marketing hang over: X-Games, NBA Jam eXtreme shit like image attached. Also remember, it was created in 1999 and didn't play till 2001.

>>74202939
>stripper cheerleaders bad

>>74209495

>>74213666
