I couldn't agree more about the oversaturation of football. When Vince McMahon launched the XFL, some people lauded him for the brilliant move of starting the season the weekend after the Super Bowl, which itself wrapped up two months of college bowl games and NFL playoffs. This was like serving someone a cheap steak for lunch the day after he consumed a 16-oz prime filet for dinner.
Even when I was football fan, I also wanted a break! The hunger didn't really kick in until April. The USFL got it right.
