While the new Alliance of American Football is drawing a reasonable amount of attention for an upstart football league operating in the shadow of the NFL, the XFL is making sure that it’s not being forgotten. The project of WWE owner Vince McMahon, the ‘Extreme Football League’ already had one abortive start in 2000 and is looking to come back 20 years later.
The AAF has to its advantage a wealth of NFL experience to draw from, including the likes of Bill Polian and Charlie Ebersol, the son of Dick Ebersol.
