The XFL was a great idea. The actual players just sucked. I wish McMahon would have done like the USFL and just thrown huge money at guys coming out of college. I would've paid to see Michael Vick run circles around people with 1/500 of the talent he has.

I don't think that would've worked. Players want to play in an established league and on the biggest stage. Of course, everyone has their price. I just think the price would have been very high.

It worked for the USFL. They got Herschel Walker, Sam Mills, Jim Kelly, Anthony Carter.

I know it worked before, but this is a different era. The NFL is the worlds biggest stage for football. Like I said earlier though, everyone has their price. So it is possible that the XFL could've lured a few big names to play for them, but I still don't think it would've been enough to sustain the league. Also the timing of the season was horrible. It was at the end of the regular football season, and most people were burnt-out on football.

Yeah, it should have been mid-summer. I think it could be done, especially by someone like Vince McMahon who seems to be more interested in being hated than anything else. He could have thrown a ton of money at players. Heck, he could have had a pretty good league with guys who had problems holding them back from the NFL (Clarett, McPherson, Marcus Vick).
