>And what, pray tell, is the purpose of the fair catch rule?

Touche... I'm not saying NFL is as extreme as it gets (roughing the passer) but Canadian Football is less violent :-)

>Now the XFL will be a league to watch (I don't think it'll be around long, but it might be fun while it lasts). Your gov as an announcer and apparently lax rules on the violence should make it a great sport for wrestling fans <g>

It will be something else, thats all I gotta say :-)
