I've got the advantage. You've got nothing.
I remember being at my aunt's house with the whole family watching the very first XFL game. It was certainly exciting. It was like "Oh hell yeah, more football past the NFL!".

I think the Scramble would've been better if they just started possession from wherever the ball was recovered, rather than bothering with the kickoff.

There were so many things that I feel like could have gone right if they just gave it more time and didn't rush it so drat much. Not in 2017 mind you, but at the time.

Really? Even the sex and whatnot? The violence would tank it because of the spotlight on concussions. The personality stuff though would probably play amazingly.

The idea of letting players promote themselves and selling their personalities within some sort of reason seems great.

I think a league that allows nicknames and elaborate celebrations would play pretty well with people who want that stuff but don't want to go out of their way watching the CFL.
