text: when the xfl was started, did you believe that it was going to be successful or last for more than one season?   last more then one season, for sure. successful? that's a hard call. i mean they weren't trying to compete with the nfl but knew they couldn't get the top players. hey the arena league can have success so why couldn't another tackle league? when you saw what they were doing though it was kinda clear it wouldn't last. it wasn't about the game.
