Wait, what?

You know how the NFL has their own forum but XFL is just part of the general sports forum.

At least we have entertaining football to watch until MLB and the CFL starts up

Was there a time when the CFL had teams from the USA in it?

I want to be a ball spotter official when I grow up.

There's all sorts of fun responses to that, i won't do it.

Yep, 1992-1995

Yeah in 1994-1995

Mayor Pete could apply for that job in 2021

Why aren’t these reviews taking over 5 minutes, these officials must be doing something wrong.

The NFL officials don't want to be shown up

Las Vegas Posse

Shreveport Pirates

Canadian Football League in the United States - Wikipedia

Sacremento Gold Miners (1993-1994)
Las Vega Posse (1994)
Shreveport Pirates (1994-1995)
Baltimore CFL Colts/Stallions (1994-1995)
Birmingham Barracudas (1995)
Memphis Mad Dogs (1995)
San Antonio Texans (1995) - Gold Miners moved to SA to become the Texans, the Texans were originally supposed to be an expansion team in 1993.

Proposed teams that never played:
Miami Manatees - supposed to play in 1996 and were the relocated Las Vegas Posse
Mississippi CFL Team - supposed to begin play in Jackson, MS in 1995
Orlando Stingrays - supposedly a team that was to start in 1996

Baltimore was by far the most successful, with their 2 seasons averaging over 30K fans a game and winning the Grey Cup in 1995. Every team besides Baltimore and San Antonio folded after the 1995 season, and those 2 were to keep going. But the Browns moving to Baltimore to become the Ravens ended the Stallions and with no other American teams the Texans folded soon after.

Fun fact, the Liberty Bowl's field and setup made it impossible to have a field that was legal by CFL rules; the field and endzones were far smaller than every other CFL field.

VAR needs to take lessons from these guys.

I saw somebody jokingly mention that the winner ofbthe XFL should play the Bengals for their NFL spot.

Now I really like this idea. That’s a cool thing about soccer, IMO.

LOL

The Bengals would be afraid they'd suck in the XFL too.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

The XFL should go to a 14 game season in 2021. Every XFL team play every other XFL team twice.

You would probably need 4 more teams for that to happen.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Another plus for the XFL over the AAF, the stadiums and fields are actually decked out in the teams' colors.

Nothing was more bush league than watching Salt Lake City (who had blue colors) playing their home games at the U of Utah's stadum and seeing the endzones be red with "UTES" and the Utes' logo everywhere.

The AFL had 8 teams like the XFL and did it from 1960-1965

Good point. But I’m happy with 10 games. Playing the 3 teams in your division twice and playing the other 4 teams once.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Nice play call by Houston

If they did add 4 more teams, I’d like to see cities added that don’t have NFL teams like Orlando, Memphis, Oakland and Portland.
