[PAR] [TLE] XFL [SEP] The XFL was a professional American football league which played one season in 2001.  It was operated as a joint venture between the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now known as WWE) and NBC.  The XFL was conceived as an outdoor football league that would take place during the NFL off-season, and promoted as having fewer rules and encouraging rougher play than other major leagues.  The league had eight teams in two divisions, including major markets and those not directly served by the NFL, including Birmingham, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Memphis, and Orlando.  The XFL operated as a single entity, with all teams centrally owned by the league. [PAR] [TLE] San Francisco Demons [SEP] The San Francisco Demons (originally named San Jose Demons) were a short-lived springtime American football team based in San Francisco, California.  This team was part of the failed XFL begun by Vince McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment and by NBC, a major television network in the United States.  Originally they were to be based in San Jose but prior to the start of the season they were moved to San Francisco.  They were in the Western Division with the Los Angeles Xtreme, Las Vegas Outlaws and Memphis Maniax.
