Absolutely shocked and disgusted this floundering forum doesn't have a thread dedicated to the football juggernaut that is the XFL.

You want NFL re-treads like Martavis Bryant or Paxton Lynch? Absolutely

College noteables like AJ McCarron and coach Bob Stoops? Sure, why not?

Actual improvements like 3 pt. conversions, audio during officials replays and Kickoffs that are actually fun? Get your ass in here and maybe this will finally be the time the XFL gets a Season 2



...ITT RT will liveblog the XFL because minor league football is great.

Time to bring back the Beer Snake

Quality is solid for 2nd tier football so far, but holy **** these games are going to fly by with these running clock rules. Probably for the best, but it's a little jarring

Presentation is actually really good. The amount of player and coach noise is just about perfect and getting to hear the plays and having decent commentators explain them in real time is cool.

Being able to challenge non-calls and the reviews taking less than 1 minute from start to finish is elite. NFL needs this yesterday

Did they just punt down 8 with 2 minutes to go?

They did. No league will ever have good coaching until ChatGPT takes over.

Oh ****, Vegas' offense finally woke up with 1 minute left.

Going for 2??? Cowardice

Edit: ...bro

4th & 15 >>>>>>>>> Onside kicks

That dude woulda been flagged and tossed for that last hit in Rogball.

XFL GOAT

Embracing the gambling aspect, I like it.

This was definitely more entertaining than I expected

Let us xfl

God help us, it's Paxton Lynch time

I liked it. Pretty much all the different rules seem like improvements over the NFL. Love all the mics and the guy explaining the plays called in real time.

Better jump all over Wade Phillips winning the championship.

Got a potential Fail Mary call in the first 3 minutes. That's not ideal if they get this wrong.

Edit: They got it wrong. Still cool to see the process tho

Refball!

Is that Cheffers crew??

Orlando 4th and 3 from the 50.

Line up and try a hardcount then run the play clock down to 1 and call a TO.

Come out and run a 2 yard passing play for a ToD.

Elite clock management

HOU ripping off the Oilers logo

Their 2020 one was really egregious:



They actually got sued by the NFL and settled on the current one.

first DOINK itt?

was it a DOINK or was the announcer wrong?

i'm guessing the Rock is part-owner of one of these franchises?

He's part owner of the league itself
