I'm about half way through and it's honestly incredible. If anyone has a better version feel free to share with the class.

XFL brought us miked up players and the overhead camera shots on the field that we see in the NFL today.

It was thrown together way too fast and ended up a colossal failure, but the league wasn't without its innovations that had lasting effects.

Probably would've survived if it made it into its second season too. I remember it going down (I was about 18 at the time) but the behind the scenes fuckery was wild.

And I really wanted Vince to knock the fuck out of Bob Costas in that interview.

Even today when asked about it in that documentary he's still such a smug asshole about the whole thing.
Probably because Bob is a smug asshole. Smart guy. Great broadcaster. But definitely a smug little asshole.

Yeah, I watched it on TV, but thought I'd try to share with the class. I'm not much of one for watching things online, so this was all I could come up with, lol.
