Recap

Former UCLA Quarterback Tommy Maddox threw four touchdowns, one the game-winning 20yard pass to Darnell McDonald in overtime for the win as the Los Angeles Xtreme came from 26-14 down at halftime to win 39-32.

The game was played before 35,813 fans at the LA Coliseum, former home of the LA Raiders who had moved back to Oakland and many of the fans were wearing Raiders gear. The spectacle again competed for fans attention with the football, one fan holding a sign saying “I’m only here for the cheerleaders” and the usual fireworks, as well as hot-tub with bikini-clad women, a party tent and a lifeguard stand on sand. The fans were rowdy and loud, like the blaring music and threw beer cans, toilet roll and food at a lone Chicago Enforcers fan in the away section, who seemed unfazed.

The WWF and NBC claimed another ratings victory despite the truck housing the generator losing power in the first quarter and NBC switching its footage to the game in Orlando before it regained power and TV footage switched back.

The scoring was opened by Tommy Maddox after he ran in from one yard out, following Rashan Sheehee’s 3yard run which was just short of the goalline, which had the crowd, announcer, fireworks and blaring music in celebratory mode. It was fitting that “First Down” Newspaper did little to report the game itself in between the opeing and closing Touchdowns as even the fans themselves seemed more interested in the party tent, hot tub, fireworks and beer.
