If they can manage to keep payroll going and acquire players with talent, it could be good.

If it's like the AAF and you end up with practice squad washouts trying to replicate the NFL game, it will fade in a hurry. They have to find ways to be different.

I have no idea on how they are set up, but I'd be interested to see who, if anyone, from the NFL migrates if the XFL allows players to puff the herb, for example. Set some kind of rule that you have separate sets of rosters for each half, or set a maximum snap count for players to ensure that all players see the field. Give bonus points if a player does something other than their normal position details (like QB or OL catching a TD, WR tossing a score). Award points for defense (fumbles forced, INTs, sacks, stops on 4th down, etc).

Those kinds of tweaks are needed so that people don't see the league as a watered down version of the shield.

I'll watch, if it's readily available, because I'm interested to see if they find a way to keep eyes watching.
