Synopsis
It was rude. It was crude. But in the end, it was still football. Greg Parks takes you inside the wild world of the XFL, the renegade football league run by pro wrestling czar Vince McMahon, that played one season in 2001. The stories of the major players in the league are delivered, from "He Hate Me" to league MVP and future NFL Comeback Player of the Year Tommy Maddox. Delve into the XFL, week by week, as the league bombed in the ratings and drew the ire of sports pundits everywhere. Read never-before-seen comments from major players in the league . More than eight years after it folded, what is the legacy of the XFL? What went wrong? What went right? Did ANYONE watch? At least one person did- and he wrote this book.
