I miss the XFL

Not sure why I'm thinking of this, but I do. I miss the XFL.. Not the XFL as it existed, Jim McMahon's messy stew of second-rate football, miked-up morons, odd camera angles and a guy named "He Hate Me." I miss the XFL that never existed - the XFL as I ENVISIONED IT. 3rd and short? You can use a battering ram. Down by a touchdown in the 4th quarter? Use a giant net to intercept a pass. Need to elude a group of beefy linebackers? Jump over them with the use of an on-field ramp. Breaking away for a touchdown? Look out for the crocodile-filled moats, firepits and club-wielding ogres. You coulda been something sweet, XFL.
