  • #132 - The X Stands for Nothing: The Unbelievably True Story of the XFL: Chapter 6
    In this sixth and final installment of our XFL deep dive, we explain what finally killed this fledgling league (hint: it involves a certain vampire slayer). Then we discuss the recent developments of XFL 2020 and the AAF. Can an alternative football league ever work? What would it take to get America's attention against the powerhouse of the NFL?

  • #131 - The X Stands for Nothing: The Unbelievably True Story of the XFL: Chapter 5
    On this installment of our XFL deep dive, we cover the second half of the league's debut season. We've got confrontations on the field, cameras in the cheerleaders locker room, and record low ratings. It all leads up to the snoozefest that was the Million Dollar Game.

  • #130 - The X Stands for Nothing: The Unbelievably True Story of the XFL - Chapter 4
    On this fourth installment of our deep dive into the beloved and reviled defunct football league: the XFL. Tonight we explore the Week 2 primetime game between the Los Angeles Xtreme and the Chicago Enforcers. This game has it all: empty generators, horrific leg injuries, dead air, a very late Jennifer Lopez and more.

  • #129 - The X Stands for Nothing: The Unbelievably True Story of the XFL - Chapter 3
    On this third installment of our multi-part look at the famously defunct sports entertainment league, we dive deep into the XFL's debut game between the Las Vegas Outlaws and the New York/New Jersey Hitmen. Topics may include: The Rock's eyebrows, the incoherent ramblings of Governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura, very low shots of the cheerleaders and a generally inept game of football.

  • #127 - The X Stands for Nothing: The Unbelievably True Story of the XFL - Chapter 1
    Tonight we begin our first ever in-depth series all about the history of the short lived sports experiment: the XFL. On the first part of our six part series, we dive deep into the backstory of the two men who made this league possible: Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol. Plus we explore what was happening in the world of sports and television in 2000 that made this a great (or not so great) idea.
