This weekend kicks off the newly reimagined XFL under a new ownership group, headed up by Dany Garcia, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and RedBird Capital Partners.
The league will feature eight teams split into two divisions, North and South, and some familiar faces, some of whom saw significant NFL action.
The matchup Sunday will highlight the opening-week slate when former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron leads the St. Louis BattleHawks against the San Antonio Brahmas. McCarron led the Crimson Tide to two BCS titles and started the 2015 wild-card game for the Cincinnati Bengals.
