Vipers, XFL couldn’t write their own script to end startup season

Did the league do enough through a half season to set up a strong future moving forward?

Vipers coach Marc Trestman smiles as his players stretch before a practice last week at Plant City Stadium. Trestman's team ended the season 1-4 after the XFL canceled the final five weeks of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic. [ EDUARDO A. ENCINA | Tampa Bay Times ]
