They released some videos about differences. At least they are trying. More then I can say for the Not interesting Football League

XFL rules prety interesting
- Thread starter Huskerthom
- Start date
Also looked at the stadiums. In many cases they are smaller stadiums. So should be more intimate. Here in DC it is at the DC United soccer stadium. I may have to take the grandson out for a game.
IFAIK, that's a natural grass field. I'm guessing DC United won't be too thrilled about American football being played there. Tottenham players were pissed after the NFL games.
I like most of the rules except the OT nonsense. I can't understand why football games should be determined by different rules than how the game is played in regulation. I know I'm in the minority, but I have no problem with a game ending in a tie. For tiebreakers in playoffs, play a series of 1/2 quarters until someone wins.
Unofficially, here are XFL teams, their head coaches and ex-Huskers:
Dallas Renegades, Bob Stoops
DC Defenders, Pep Hamilton* - Jordan Westerkamp
Houston Roughnecks, June Jones
Los Angeles Wildcats, Winston Moss*
New York Guardians, Kevin Gilbride
St. Louis Battlehawks, Jonathan Hayes* - Brandon Reilly
Seattle Dragons, Jim Zorn - Mohammed Seisay
Tampa Bay Vipers, Marc Trestman - Jerald Foster, Alonzo Moore
Head coaches with an asterisk by their name are African-Americans. I did this because there was a conversation ESPN radio this morning about the Rooney Rule in the NFL and how it was created to avoid law suits, not because NFL owners care about their hiring practices.

I did not know Westy was playing for DC. All the more reason to make it out to one of the games.
Too bad we can't get teams in some smaller / non-traditional markets. But I guess that might make the chances for success (of the league) that much less.
