Defunct Football Leagues
Do you miss the XFL or USFL?

How about the CFL w/American city teams (CFL-USA)?

The old AFL before they merged with the NFL?

Other?

I LOVED the USFL. Real talent. Great games. Good gambling. Made some money on the Generals (Flutie, Herschel) and the Gamblers (Jim Kelly)... Good stuff!!

XFL could have been cool. I liked it, but can understand why many didn't.

Whatever it is, it is MORE FOOTBALL!! -- I love it!!! Bring it on!!!

39. I started young. Had a bookie (Irish mob guy) at 13 (well, put bets in through my uncle at first, then started calling direct -- it was cool).

XFL was a trip--especially because the books would take (limited) action it. There was a weekend when they decided to let the clocks keep running even on out of bounds plays. The unders all came through that weekend.

The CFL-USA, XFL and USFL were much more entertaining and much more easier to make money on than the NFL. But props goes to the NFL admin for promotion & advertisement and higher stock ($$$) players.

I prefer today's CFL to the NFL for the above pointers. May sound crazy on the surface but it's by a landslide.
