On 3 November 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to XFL (defunct American football league). The result of the discussion was not moved. |
It should be noted that the "X" in XFL did not stand for "extreme." When the league was first organized, promoters wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the "X" did not actually stand for anything. -- Then why is this article's title EXtreme Football League instead of XFL? -- Zoe
Beats the hell outta me...You should just change it to XFL or X Football League. Can you do that?
EDIT: Good stuff.
I think it should also be mentioned that the XFL supposedly greatly angered Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels. A February game went into overtime and delayed the live broadcast (on the East Coast of course) of an episode that was hosted by Jennifer Lopez (who was also the musical guest). Because of this, NBC decided to rebroadcast the episode as soon as SNL went into another live episode break (which is usually after three episodes). If this was say the World Series being aired on NBC (as opposed to an unproving league like the XFL), then I'm sure that Lorne Michaels wouldn't have gotten so upset. I read that a live episode that was hosted by Rosanna Arquette had to be preempted because of NBC's coverage of the now famous sixth game of the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox.

It should be mentioned that Memphis also had a CFL team for one year - 1995, the article states that the last time Memphis had a pro team was 1985.
In the notable personalities section we have Yo Murphy as the first XFL alum to play in a Super Bowl (2001), followed by Rod Smart (2003), and Tommy Maddox as the third to play and first to win. (2005) However, Corey Ivy is listed as a former XFL player, and he played for the Buccaneers from 2001-2004, during which time they won a Super Bowl (2002). Was he off the roster at the time they won or what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.202.147.105 ( talk) 20:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Was this something that the XFL method of starting the game was called on a routine basis, or just on a one-time basis by a sportswriter or announcer? If the latter, it really has no place in the article.
I believe that recent edits have removed the fact that late-season XFL games weren't just the lowest-rated prime-time football games in TV history; they were the lowest-rated prime-time programs ever broadcast by one of the "Big Three" traditional U.S. networks. It also seems to me a stretch to say that most newspapers did not run XFL scores; while more than a few did not, many others did.
Should there be a category headline describing the XFL Draft in more detail? ( Cardsplayer4life 09:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC))
You may have noticed that I changed the name of the Jennifer Lopez album mentioned in the account of the SNL controversy. I just watched her profile on E! Entertainment Television and it showed that it was J-Lo that was released in 2001, not On the Six. On the Six was Lopez's first album, released several years earlier. Sorry for the error, but again it has been corrected.-- Desmond Hobson 17:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I have removed The Rock from the list of wrestlers that appeared in WWE Films...while he has a film career, he has not appeared in a WWE-produced movie.

Since the "X" in "XFL" doesn't stand for anything, then shouldn't it be called "X Football League". So, who's in favor of changing the name to "X Football League"? I know I am. 24.7.217.221 20:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The title of the article should be XFL. While as an acronym the XFL does not stand for anything in particular, the letter X suggests an extreme version of the sport similar. Acronyms dont' always have to stand for something. Eg. the acronym YMCA in Canada stands for a set of values as opposed to the Young Mens blah blah blah.
The media response is not really neutral - looks complete bashing of the XFL - yes I know it didn't perform well as expected, but some parts is written as like someone is anti-XFL.-- JForget 00:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
ESPN is owned by Disney, who also owns ABC. Among wrestling fans, it's well know that ABC dislikes WWE because of its direct competition to Monday Night Football (which is now on ESPN). This should probably be included in the article. ESPN's bashing of the XFL stemmed just as much from this rivalry as it did from actual dislike of the league. ESPN has also been known to favor events that it has the rights to -- Early this college football season (2006), there was quite a bit of controversy over the fact that ESPN only sent College Gameday to games that it or ABC had the rights to air (they have since began being more neutral), which supports this theory. ABC has also aired several shows "debunking" pro wrestling, attempting to prove that it is fake. It's pretty clear that the lack of good press holds some root in this dislike. 72.209.72.177 05:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
"Ultimately it failed to appeal to members of either group. Wrestling fans wanted drama and hype, while football fans simply wanted a better caliber of play on the field."
Hasty generalization? I'm removing it.
"At the end of 2006, unconfirmed reports surfaced that Richard Branson was interested in starting a new version of the XFL, perhaps with Sylvester Stallone, Stephen Hawking and Joe Namath as game commentators. These reports also stated that penalties for roughing the passer and late hits would be abolished."
Yea right LOL
Perhaps add a trivia section? In the opening of the film "The Sixth Day," the XFL was depicted as the prevalent football league in the future shown in the movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger had appeared on the WWF to promote his movie prior to the start of the league. 69.132.142.190 14:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I remember a controversy stemming between one of the coaches of an XFL team and someone else - a commentator, I think. Someone who remembers this event more than I do, or someone who can find more information, should edit this into the article. I remember the whole thing ended up being a farce put on by McMahon to try and up ratings. -- JT Holla! 16:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
In Tommy Maddox, it says "...is one of three players (along with Bobby Singh and Ron Carpenter) to hold both a Super Bowl ring and XFL championship ring." This article differs with that. I'm not sure which/both is correct. -- Rajah ( talk) 19:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
There were also cameramen on the field during play in the XFL. This was quite unique, to say the least. It should be mentioned somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlefatboy ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I have never heard during the build up the XFL, that Vince wanted to buy the CFL and move it south. Is there any proof of this statement? 154.5.208.104 ( talk) 04:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, should we fork out a new article for this, or finally make 2001 XFL season? ViperSnake151 Talk 20:14, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: XFL moved to XFL (2001). At this juncture, I see consensus for the page move that was officially requested, but in addition to the " XFL (2020) → XFL" move request not being included in the move request template, I do not see consensus for that move. For the time being, I will replace XFL with XFL (disambiguation), and the " XFL (2020) → XFL" move can be requested separately for further discussion individually if need be. ( non-admin closure) Steel1943 ( talk) 19:35, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
XFL → XFL (2001) – Based on the pageview statistics https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-01-01&end=2019-09-24&pages=XFL|XFL_(2020) the XFL 2020 league is averaging 2 times the number of views this year. The past month that difference has greatly expanded https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-08-24&end=2019-09-24&pages=XFL|XFL_(2020). With the new league opening in a few months I believe its clear that we have a new WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I am currently only requesting that we move this page. There are about 1300 incoming links that would need to be cleaned up. As part of this request I am also requesting that once the incoming links are cleaned up that we move XFL (2020) to the XFL page. I am happy to do the link clean up once the discussion is closed if we get consensus. Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk 15:25, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
I agree with some of the users above that the articles should be merged. However, at a baseline, the 2020-present XFL league's more noteworthy than a league that only ran for 1 season, if indeed they should remain separate Sucker for All ( talk) 06:14, 10 August 2022 (UTC) @ Illegitimate Barrister: @ UCO2009bluejay: @ Blacha61: @ Paul "The Wall": @ JMyrleFuller: @ Spshu: @ Autumn Wind:

Image:XFL Maniax.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

I remember a controversy stemming between one of the coaches of an XFL team and someone else - a commentator, I think. Someone who remembers this event more than I do, or someone who can find more information, should edit this into the article. I remember the whole thing ended up being a farce put on by McMahon to try and up ratings. -- JT Holla! 16:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
In Tommy Maddox, it says "...is one of three players (along with Bobby Singh and Ron Carpenter) to hold both a Super Bowl ring and XFL championship ring." This article differs with that. I'm not sure which/both is correct. -- Rajah ( talk) 19:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
There were also cameramen on the field during play in the XFL. This was quite unique, to say the least. It should be mentioned somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlefatboy ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I have never heard during the build up the XFL, that Vince wanted to buy the CFL and move it south. Is there any proof of this statement? 154.5.208.104 ( talk) 04:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, should we fork out a new article for this, or finally make 2001 XFL season? ViperSnake151 Talk 20:14, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: XFL moved to XFL (2001). At this juncture, I see consensus for the page move that was officially requested, but in addition to the " XFL (2020) → XFL" move request not being included in the move request template, I do not see consensus for that move. For the time being, I will replace XFL with XFL (disambiguation), and the " XFL (2020) → XFL" move can be requested separately for further discussion individually if need be.

XFL → XFL (2001) – Based on the pageview statistics https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-01-01&end=2019-09-24&pages=XFL|XFL_(2020) the XFL 2020 league is averaging 2 times the number of views this year. The past month that difference has greatly expanded https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-08-24&end=2019-09-24&pages=XFL|XFL_(2020). With the new league opening in a few months I believe its clear that we have a new WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I am currently only requesting that we move this page. There are about 1300 incoming links that would need to be cleaned up. As part of this request I am also requesting that once the incoming links are cleaned up that we move XFL (2020) to the XFL page. I am happy to do the link clean up once the discussion is closed if we get consensus. Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk 15:25, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
I agree with some of the users above that the articles should be merged. However, at a baseline, the 2020-present XFL league's more noteworthy than a league that only ran for 1 season, if indeed they should remain separate Sucker for All ( talk) 06:14, 10 August 2022 (UTC) @ Illegitimate Barrister: @ UCO2009bluejay: @ Blacha61: @ Paul "The Wall": @ JMyrleFuller: @ Spshu: @ Autumn Wind:
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:XFL (2020) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 20:50, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
