Why do we have the XFL? For the love of football! It’s just that simple.
To further that sentiment, there is no such thing as too much football!
The XFL's new season is about to kick off this weekend with two games on Saturday, Feb. 8th, and two more on Sunday, Feb. 9th, as the XFL tries again to bring quality football to fans everywhere. I only hope they’ll be more successful than the Alliance of American Football League that failed to finish their own inaugural season a year ago.
The XFL is hailed as an extra or alternative football league, and also as a developmental league that could see players move on to the NFL after the conclusion of their season.
The XFL will feature two games per day both playing on Saturdays and Sundays. Concluding after 10 weeks of competition and followed with 1 weekend of playoffs, and a Championship game immediately thereafter.
Only time will tell if this new league will be successful. I am hoping that it will. However the lack of star power / big name players may make it more challenging.
This new XFL season begins today and runs for the next twelve weeks without a break to the finish. It’s all fast paced and action packed. It’s main focus is to be fans first, and fans will be able to have input.
