He was awesome but in decline since the Super Bowl in '02.

[IAmNietzche]

I'm just stoked to see Denzel's kid.

[CarlosLunes]

[KidRobot]

Haha love that every logo is the exact same with just the different letters.

Also, the NY team plays every game at a different stadium. Nice.

[preppyak]

[ashesofapril234]

I don't expect this to be that great but I'll give it a shot.

[Scott Weber]

[FondestMemory]

[TEAMRAMROD]

I'm willing to give it a shot.

[xbrokendownx]

Not sure but it sure sounds menacing.

thursday night

no way im watching philly

but i hope this stays alive ive hear they may add a CT team !!!

Obafemi Ayanbadejo used to play for the Bears, with his brother. Bobby Sippio was my favorite AFL player. Tatum Bell is a pretty big name as well. I'm surprised Todd Sauerbrun hasn't found an NFL team that wants him. And Koren Robinson played for the Packers and the Vikings... some pretty big names on there.

[f00te]

i would take a gander at it but versus was taken away from Direct TV
but i will go with Nebraska and Mizzu cuz college is better anyways

haha, I know all the NFL people called them up and got NHL Center ICe for free...but, I'd say call them up and complain you can't get the UFL games...see if the rep is a sports fan and dies laughing

[Justin_stacy]

watched the first game of the XFL, and I'll I'm willing to give this a try. Although I think they're going about it in the wrong way.

[preppyak]

They need to at last add in the players running for the ball as the coin toss...that was the best

[WhosThis]

jp losman is a tank. how does having the same main primary color for two teams not like...come up in discussion? and theres only like 30 people in the stands...

this

you would think with 4 teams

they would not all be blue green and sliver or white

none of those are big names. being a role player in the nfl doesn't constitute being a big name.

tatum bell's name was in the news most for stealing luggage. and sauerbrun was run out of the league because nobody wants a punter that's hopped up on steroids and still fucking sucks.

koren robinson was decent, but in no way was he a big name.

this whole league is a joke.

[justbrett]

I think it's hilarious that Peter Warrick got cut from the league already.

And Koren Robinson, had it not been for his off-the field problems, probably would have developed into quite a receiver. I remember when he had 80 catches that one year, he was pretty explosive and scary...a great RAC guy.

[softhands]

so it's like an American version of the cfl?
