In case you haven't heard of it - the XFL is the new professional football league brought to us by the WWF and NBC. Its "appeal" is the fact that the rules are scaled back to make the game more exciting. We wonder: Aren't those rules there for a reason? So anyway here's the Top Ten Little Known Rules in the XFL:
