Also if we're talking about football that doesn't work then the CFL in USA was a total shitfest.

Let's be real the chances that either the XFL or CFL existing for the next decade is quite small. Whatever happens either Canadian or American fans of the game will be upset.

I know the CFL is reeling now, but it's been around for decades, to make it more like an American league that has lasted a single season at best just doesn't seem wise.  Also, the NFL doesn't need a developmental league, does it?  People are going to see it as 18 games of pre-season football if that is the case.

I think the CFL has a better chance of getting some sort of bail out and staying in Canada than it does of becoming the first non-NFL league Americans watch in almost 40 years.
