Up For Debate

In this sixth and final installment of our XFL deep dive, we explain what finally killed this fledgling league (hint: it involves a certain vampire slayer). Then we discuss the recent developments of XFL 2020 and the AAF. Can an alternative football league ever work? What would it take to get America's attention against the powerhouse of the NFL? upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebate Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

On this installment of our XFL deep dive, we cover the second half of the league's debut season. We've got confrontations on the field, cameras in the cheerleaders locker room, and record low ratings. It all leads up to the snoozefest that was the Million Dollar Game. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

On this fourth installment of our deep dive into the beloved and reviled defunct football league: the XFL. Tonight we explore the Week 2 primetime game between the Los Angeles Xtreme and the Chicago Enforcers. This game has it all: empty generators, horrific leg injuries, dead air, a very late Jennifer Lopez and more. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebate Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

On this third installment of our multi-part look at the famously defunct sports entertainment league, we dive deep into the XFL's debut game between the Las Vegas Outlaws and the New York/New Jersey Hitmen. Topics may include: The Rock's eyebrows, the incoherent ramblings of Governor Jesse "The Body" Ventura, very low shots of the cheerleaders and a generally inept game of football. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

On this second installment of our deep dive into America's favorite defunct sports entertainment experience, we take a look at all the pieces that made up the XFL, from the teams and the coaches, to the rules and the cutting edge broadcast technology. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

It's a special rewind episode where we republish from the vault! Just in time for Thanksgiving, it's our Halloween episode!

It's a spook-tacular episode of Up For Debate! upfordebate.tv twitter.com/upfordebatetv

Tonight we begin our first ever in-depth series all about the history of the short lived sports experiment: the XFL. On the first part of our six part series, we dive deep into the backstory of the two men who made this league possible: Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol. Plus we explore what was happening in the world of sports and television in 2000 that made this a great (or not so great) idea. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv

On this episode we spend some time discussing the fun of arts and crafts including the ones we did as kids, the ones we wish we were good at and the ones that would come in handy during an apocalypse. We spend even more time talking about other nonsense including the Daily Bugle versus the Daily Planet, Easy Bake Ovens and Levar Burton. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebate Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

Plus we get distracted (shocker!) and share some US president trivia and ask ourselves: what exactly is a "Pokemon"? upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

It's part 2 of our discussion on marketing stunts! This time we're sharing the one's that worked well. Can a fast food restaurant buy a national landmark? Can a pizza chain admit their food is bad? Whatever happened to Sinbad? (That last one is kind of unrelated) upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv

On this first part of a two part series, we discuss every brand's big opportunity: the viral marketing stunt. This time it's all about those that didn't go as planned. Should you release 1.5 million balloons over Cleveland? Should you offer everyone in America a free can of soda? Should you fake harass a stranger to market your car? Next time: we cover the memorable ones that went as planned...or better! upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.
