Professional Football Researchers Association Forum

This is the alternative football debate, probably just for me - are all versions of the XFL connected for historical purposes?

Is it all XFLs considered one, or is it XFL 2001 by itself and XFL 2020/2023- together?

Good morning, everyone! I am seeking the postgame stats (gamebooks with starters/participation/etc.) for the Canadian Football League games the American teams played from 1993-95, as I do research on the topic. I would go to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame via email, but I believe it still is clo...

With the information I have, I put together a document on the 1991 WLAF season here:

If anyone has 1992 WLAF game books, I will be moving on to the next season, looking to do the same thing!
