I dunno 'bout the XFL's financing, but NBC is losing a grip of $$$ airing these shows.

Maybe technology is not upto the level that Vince McMahon wants it to air his league... It seems from the Costas interview, he wanted the "fans" to be in the middle of the game, as if they're playing it themselves--kinda like virtually reality from "The Matrix"...

They outta have the players do those "Jackie Chan" movements they do on those shows... Did anyone see Aaliyah and Jet Li in "Romeo Must Die" and when he played football with the bruhs? Folks seem to like it when he did is Kung Fu action...

Then, I really haven't taken a look at the players themselves, but the halftime locker room filming--okay if you're gonna do that for "showtime" effect, then you outta have the head coach cursin' the players out if they are losing a game, kinda like Jerry Springer Show. Hell, Vince outta have Jerry Springer be a commentator for the game!!! If Monday Nite Football has Dennis Miller, the what's the difference... It be for more interesting watching. Folks like that crazy kinda stuff on TV...

Then, do the sell BEER at these games? Do the stadiums have ABC licenses? If not, then that's why fans aren't coming!!!

Oh well...
