XFL - Would you rather watch a minor league football game or professional hockey? If you're reading an XFL preview at the end of March, your answer is probably fairly clear, but we got a decent test of what the country as a whole thought this past week—and it's fairly good news for the XFL.

The league returned to ABC and network television for the first time since Week 1 and accordingly topped 1 million viewers for the first time since opening weekend. The Sea Dragons-Guardians game drew 1.05 million viewers on Saturday afternoon—and that was to watch a team that has yet to win a game this season!
