Talk:XFL (2001)

message: In the notable personalities section we have Yo Murphy as the first XFL alum to play in a Super Bowl (2001), followed by Rod Smart (2003), and Tommy Maddox as the third to play and first to win. (2005)  However, Corey Ivy is listed as a former XFL player, and he played for the Buccaneers from 2001-2004, during which time they won a Super Bowl (2002). Was he off the roster at the time they won or what?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.202.147.105 (talk) 20:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: You may have noticed that I changed the name of the Jennifer Lopez album mentioned in the account of the SNL controversy.  I just watched her profile on E! Entertainment Television and it showed that it was J-Lo that was released in 2001, not On the Six.  On the Six was Lopez's first album, released several years earlier.  Sorry for the error, but again it has been corrected.--Desmond Hobson 17:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Since the "X" in "XFL" doesn't stand for anything, then shouldn't it be called "X Football League". So, who's in favor of changing the name to "X Football League"? I know I am. 24.7.217.221 20:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The media response is not really neutral - looks complete bashing of the XFL - yes I know it didn't perform well as expected, but some parts is written as like someone is anti-XFL.--JForget 00:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Anti-XFL? That's a new one. It's sadly true that not everything can be a smash success, and if reporting on a failure along with reasons for the failure constitutes "NPOV" then half of Wikipedia would be POV. Please read the articles on USFL and WFL, among many others. I believe the tag should be removed unless specific examples can be cited, rather than broad generalizations --70.108.116.231 13:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: ESPN is owned by Disney, who also owns ABC. Among wrestling fans, it's well know that ABC dislikes WWE because of its direct competition to Monday Night Football (which is now on ESPN).  This should probably be included in the article. ESPN's bashing of the XFL stemmed just as much from this rivalry as it did from actual dislike of the league. ESPN has also been known to favor events that it has the rights to -- Early this college football season (2006), there was quite a bit of controversy over the fact that ESPN only sent College Gameday to games that it or ABC had the rights to air (they have since began being more neutral), which supports this theory.  ABC has also aired several shows "debunking" pro wrestling, attempting to prove that it is fake. It's pretty clear that the lack of good press holds some root in this dislike.  72.209.72.177 05:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "Ultimately it failed to appeal to members of either group. Wrestling fans wanted drama and hype, while football fans simply wanted a better caliber of play on the field."
Hasty generalization?  I'm removing it.

"At the end of 2006, unconfirmed reports surfaced that Richard Branson was interested in starting a new version of the XFL, perhaps with Sylvester Stallone, Stephen Hawking and Joe Namath as game commentators. These reports also stated that penalties for roughing the passer and late hits would be abolished."
Yea right LOL
Perhaps add a trivia section? In the opening of the film "The Sixth Day," the XFL was depicted as the prevalent football league in the future shown in the movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger had appeared on the WWF to promote his movie prior to the start of the league. 69.132.142.190 14:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
