| Quoted from salon.com (yes, I know one of their writers blamed O&A for the PR Parade Fiasco... you don't have to remind us):
"The XFL's matchup between the Las Vegas Outlaws and the Birmingham Bolts picked up a 2.1 rating, according to Nielsen, becoming the lowest-rated prime-time sporting event in network television history."
Is XFL considered Gen Discussion or Off Topic? It's so hard to tell these days...

So much for everyone's bonuses this year! I don't know, I'm not a HUGE XFL fan, its cool, but its on in a shitty time slot, and its definitely a work-in-progress. They might be better getting off of NBC, and keeping their games on TNN and UPN. Either way, when the offseason comes, a lot of people had better get their thinking caps on and figure out how to manage to salvage whatever is left of this league by then.

| I enjoy it, but a lot of people got turned off quikly. I thought it has gotten a lot better, and is not what it was in the beginning.

| I personally don't think the XFL is that terrible. But it certainly didn't live up to all the hype, and it has a really crappy time slot for the audience it's trying to reach. So I can't say i'm suprised by its lack of ratings.

| what they need to do is basically swallow this season, and re-tool the league in the offseason - get a better time slot, and maybe work on getting better players. Unfortuantely, with all of the negativity surrounding it now, it's gonna be hard for them to overcome that, ontop of trying to "plug the holes", so to speak.
