XFL opening weekend: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The new XFL was pleasantly plugging along with five games under their belt in 2020 with growing attendance and full rosters. Then, the pandemic hit. Eventually, like every other sports event, the XFL was forced to close its doors.

Now, after some time off and a chance to become financially feasible as well as competitive, the league made it’s Debut Part 2 this past weekend.

Eight teams are the norm when starting a new league. The schedule works out every week, half the clubs will make the playoffs, and one team cannot dominate which keeps interest flowing in all cities as well as the casual pro football fan.
