When the XFL was I never really watched it because I was young. All I know about it is what my father told me and what I see on TV about it. I agree though that the XFL sounds better than the AFL. I was simply drawing the parellel between how the AFL had live audio from the field which I believe the XFL did.

Yeah, they are/were both shameless self promoters. But those cool robots over the field that we see now were developed for the XFL..a bit of trivia there. Oh, and it wasn't long ago, either. What are you, 12? No offense intended, you are a good poster, but it was only like 5 or 6 years ago or something. Manning, the CB, originally played for Carolina in the NFL, was "HE HATE ME" in the XFL. That was another thing. The players could call themselves what they wanted. Ocho Stinko would have loved that part.

I am 16 so at the time I was 1o or 11. I could have watched it but I was pretty oblivious at the time and didn't totally understand the appeal of the XFL. At the time the only sport I liked was the NFL, but I wasn't as totally into it as I am now. If it was on now I would probably watch it.

He Hate Me was actually Rod Smart, not Ricky Manning.
