The only XFL championship was also the worst

  • The XFL Million Dollar Game was so bad that they never played again. Well, the league got cancelled for other reasons, but the point stands. Rarely did it actually resemble football. Anything "good" was thanks to something far worse. And honestly, it's what the XFL deserved.
    A poorly thought out, unnecessarily reckless league pitted the Los Angeles Xtreme against the San Francisco Demons. It quickly became clear these teams didn't belong on the same field, and was over as soon as it started. Thankfully, they played the whole 60 minutes so I could watch that for you and paint a picture of how terrible it was.

    The XBA- the hoops are only 8 feet high and 2 feet in diameter, half court shots are worth 10, instead of free throws you get tossed an alley oop into a slam dunk
    The XLB- steroids required, outfield fences can be no more than 350 feet away, home plate collisions mandatory even if there’s no play, bat flips required or else the player will be called out
    The XHL- literally just fistfights for 3 periods, last man standing wins

      Kate Tremaine That’s subjective though. You can not compare the NFL to the XFL and expect the same results. If there was only one XFL Championship, you can not compare it to another, so by default it becomes the BEST and WORST XFL Championship. For example, if you have 1 thing registered online and have Filtering settings where you can sort from Best-Worst, vice-versa, or any comparable metric that signifies something being better than the other or worse, then you would get the same thing in any filtration. Therefore it is the best and worst by simple logic.

  • @andysee6996
    @andysee6996 4 года назад +16

    Well, it seems Vince McMahon learned something from this failure. One of the core reasons the XFL failed was because it tried to inject more violence into a sport that didn't need any more violence. The new XFL will have no cheerleaders, no two man scrum to determine first possession, and no rules that inspire more violence than the NFL already has. Also, I doubt this league has any wrestling partenerships. Instead, this new XFL is supposed to be a simpler and faster version of the NFL. Here are some of its rule changes
    Kickoffs come from the 30 yard line. However, all of the players from the kick coverage team start from the receiving team's 35 yard line and the blockers start from their own team's ten yard line. Furthermore, only the kicker and kick returner can move until the kick returner has the ball. This is meant to decrease injuries without turning every kickoff into a touchback.
    Punting teams cannot use gunners and any coffin corner kick is brought back to the receiving team's 35 yard line. This rule is intended to encourage teams to go for it more on fourth downs.
    Teams are allowed to throw two forward passes on a play provided that they aren't thrown past the line of scrimmage.
    The clock moves continuously, except on two minute warnings. Before you think that it makes games too short, know that all the helmets have radios so the offensive coordinator can inform all the players about his play without the need of a huddle. This means that a higher percentage of the game is the players, well, playing football.
    There is a Sky Judge who reviews all the plays. Even the NFL should have a referee whose sole job is instant replay.
    And of course, the rule for 1, 2, and 3 point PATs (with one point being a play from the two yard line, two points being a play from the five yard line, and three points being a play from the ten yard line) have been rolled over from the original XFL. It was one of the few things that league did correctly.
    I hope these rule changes and more can create an entertaining football league

    “They completely botched the field goal, which ended with an interception”. This. This is football.

    6:59 "You talk about a backfire! You talk about a plan gone bad!"
    Genuinely one of my favorite announcer calls in football history, and definitely one of the funniest! Whenever I hear of a spectacularly failed, ill-conceived plan, that line's one of the first things that comes to mind. (Even if ironically it probably could have been a really cool trick play had the QB not been literally the only player to know about it.)

    Where do the best players not quite good enough for the NFL play? Canada, AAF or XFL?

    • @fraudulentfem7322
      @fraudulentfem7322 4 года назад

      The Arena football league. The CFL is actually a respectable league, and people do aspire to be in the CFL. There have been a few CFL players who made it in the NFL like Doug Flutie, Jon Ryan, Mike Vanderjagt...

    I was young when the XFL title game happened, but I remember this game being very exciting. A high scoring close game if my memory serves. EDIT: Then I watched the vid and I guess my memory does not serve. I could have swore both teams had high 20s-mid 30s in point totals... huh

    • @bolbyballinger
      @bolbyballinger 5 лет назад +10

      Probably when a bad Super Bowl happens.
      This past one wasn't riddled with sloppy play from everyone, the defenses actually played great.
      Compare that to the Broncos losing 55-10 against the 49ers . . .

    • @soulexchangemusic
      @soulexchangemusic 5 лет назад +6

      Actully it was, its not hard for a defense to look decent when the offences and play calling are ass. i would of rather had that blowout game, at least one team is compitant

      If the GOAT can only score 13 points in the most important game of the year, then we know it's a really bad game. The awful Falcons should've scored more than Tom Brady.

    • @sunburner_ray
      @sunburner_ray 5 лет назад +5

      The defenses didn’t even play all that well. Both definitely played above average, but both QBs missed some receivers, and the right guard on the Rams was basically throwing the game. The defenses are not as good as people are making it out to be
