That stinks, was fun watching some additional football. I liked some of the different rules
There was talk that it may not make it after week 2, so that really didn't surprise me ...
I watched my share of games and liked it, over no games.
I liked the idea and planned to watch them but either forgot about them or found myself busy every time they were on. I think I watched maybe 10 minutes total.
Our local QB Logan Woodside / Toledo Rockets was playing for San Antonio so that drew me in originally.. there were also several former Buckeyes on teams.
Then with Manziel joining late also brought more interest.
I'm disappointed that they have called the season ... you would have thought they could have at least worked out something to finish the last 2 games of the year and get thru what would be a short playoff season (with only 8 teams.)

I haven't seen a source, but I've seen some claim that all the player contracts will be terminated tomorrow, and everyone else after that.
Additionally, XFL reportedly already poking around for potential acquisition targets from the remains.

Kinda business model did they start with ? There should have been 8 millionaires willing to lose 60 100 mil a piece over 3-5 years. there also needed show money for year one at least. I figured payroll at less than a million a week.
Recorded every game, played them on a screen in the man cave. mostly while watching something else.
but did Really watch about 1 a week,
Good luck to Jim with XFL . he seems to be going to micro manage his shot at it.
They claim that without the NFL allowing non-roster players to play in the AAF it could not function. They envisioned themselves as a farm team system for the NFL but never negotiated that prior to going live. How incredibly ignorant. Did they seriously think the NFL was going to allow it's players to play in a non-NFL league while still under contract to the NFL? With all the concussion protocols the NFL has in place did they really believe the NFL would allow their players to play non-NFL games where there would be no NFL personnel around to enforce those protocols, for instance? This proves that just because you're rich doesn't mean you're smart. 
Lasted longer than I thought it would.
The only way a minor football league is going to survive is as an official farm league of the NFL, with funding from the NFL, and using players that can't/shouldn't be in college or having made the roster.

Tried that twice. WLAF and NFL Europe/Europa. Didn't work either.
It seems that Americans want more football. Until given more football. People like the NFL as it is and are satisfied with what it gives them
Its hard to have a farm league in a physical sport such as football...too many people get hurt

They do want more football, this was an investment issue, not a popularity issue.

I agree ...
I was following several teams and tuning in whenever I was home.
