It's
a Whole New Ballgame
Business
2.0 - By
G. Beato, January 2001 Issue
Will football ever be the same? Or TV sports? Maybe
not after February 3, when the XFL makes its debut.

Get Ready to Fumble

closing the second of a ten-week season, you can bet that Vince McMahon and his partners in the XFL are already back at the drawing board, trying to figure

XFL
Cheerleader Bares All in Nude Pictorial and Interview
in Mystique Magazine
Mystique
Magazine - 15 February 2001

had to happen. Bonnie-Jill Laflin, a cheerleader with
the XFL's Los Angeles Xtreme football team and one of
the models in the national TV commercials for the league,
speaks frankly about the XFL in a no-holds barred interview

XFL Gets the Cold Shoulder From Mainstream
Sports Sites
David Sweet - Wall Street Journal - 16 January 2001
It
wasn't the kind of coverage the XFL expected. In the
Jan. 10 San Jose Mercury News, a report bellowed that
a "runaway two-ton blimp" promoting the new
football league crashed into an Oakland restaurant.
The XFL hopes to persuade sports news sites it's worthy
of crash coverage -- as in helmets colliding when the
league kicks off Feb. 3. Burdened by staffing woes in
a troubled dot-com environment and curious to see if
fans and sponsors embrace football World-Wrestling-Federation-style,
sites are yawning at the blustery upstart.
