Can you feel the electricity in the air? That's the XFL, baby! Yes, Xtreme Football is back on the menu for 2020, and it's going to get you with its rude 'tude and bizarre gimmicks that ostensibly distinguish its brand of in-your-face gridiron from that of the NFL's, but which instead only highlight each league's own subtly varying degrees of terribleness. And hey, the team names and logos have finally been revealed! The brainpower that must've gone into creating some of these is beyond the ken of mortal men. For instance ...
It's a brave choice to go with a name that can also be found on every pee-wee baseball, hockey, football, basketball, and darts league across North America. Somehow even more impressive than these astoundingly creative names are the pointless team descriptions the XFL has provided for their purely hypothetical fans to help them better understand the spirit of each franchise.
These things are written as if the reason Ernest Hemingway became an alcoholic was that his staccato style of short blunt sentences could only land him a job writing them. Anyway, they are paradoxically not describing the grit and determination of a football team, as there are no actual teams with players yet.
These are bios of cartoon characters, representing the qualities possessed by players they do not have yet, who will most definitely not live up to any of those standards. Vince McMahon's WWE creative team is cutting through the BS and pitching us a late '80s Saturday morning cartoon adaptation of the XFL that makes literal dragons from Seattle play football against literal battle hawks from St. Louis, whatever the hell a battle hawk may be. I'm guessing an osprey with a gun?
