    The league did not say when it would begin play, though it did say the first 10 teams would be the San Diego Warriors, Oklahoma City Power, Portland Progress, Texas Revolution, Ohio Players, Florida Strong, Birmingham Kings, St. Louis Independence, Connecticut Underground and Oakland Panthers.

    Should of merged or contacted Vince McMahon, a strong XFL could be big, I cant see a third league working, XFL might get a chance due to the name value
