I fully realize that I'm swimming against the tide here. The XFL possibility is most likely dead although I don't think it's completely out of the question. I still think it could have been done in a way that would have preserved the best traditions of Cdn football (including a Grey Cup champion north of the border), while opening up a wealth of new possibilities both off and on the field.
