XFL

[smitty_p]

Did anyone catch any XFL games this past weekend?

I caught a couple on TV. I really like this and the changes they made to the game. I’ll be watching more.

A couple of tidbits that may be of interest to you...

The DC Defenders XFL team uses the same field as the DC United soccer team.

They won their inaugural game/home opener on Saturday, which is cool.

I may get a couple of tickets at some point and go to a game, as well.

I liked it, too.

Aside from the rule and gameplay changes from the NFL - changes I like - the whole feel of it is more raw, edgier, and faster paced. I got a kick out of it.

It's a good fit to have them at the MLS facilities...the LA Team is playing at Dignity Health, where the LA Galaxy, and for the last few seasons the Chargers, play. It's an excellent facility for football (I've been a bunch of the Chargers games there) and small enough that it won't look empty for the games. The LA team looks to suck this season and got blown out on Saturday, but it's still fun to get out and see a game and the price is 1/3 of an NFL game.

Well, well, well...

Whatcha know ‘bout that?

The DC Defenders won their second straight game.

Well, if the Redskins can’t make it happen, maybe the XFL is one way DC can have a winning football franchise!

Tampa sure STINKS

 

[smitty_p]

Tampa sure STINKS

They‘re close enough to stage a comeback.

I‘m actually rooting for Tampa in this game.

 

[Trident]

Sure would be nice to have a decent football team from Tampa show their face..

 

[Trident]

Yupp...Tampa STINKS...

 

[eSGEe]

so this is Foosball then?

 

[eSGEe]

I google-fied it--- with the "X" in there I was hoping for something PORN oriented------- I was sadly disappointed--

so this is just another $$ scam like Arena Foosball? (that went away after multiple bankruptcy didnt it????) for the guys who cant make the "big show" to make some dough ???

Im just going to say it -----there are WAAAAAY to damn many people getting paid OBSCENE $$ to play children's HIGH SCHOOL GYM CLASS games

-- but I guess as long as folks buy tickets & T's they will keep coming up with ways to take their $

 

[Chubbles]

There's no other football now. It helps my withdraw. It may also work like an NFL farm league. It's a hell if a lot better than the Stadium Football League.

XFL is still a thing?

 

[iblive]

All the positive vibes here.... guess I shouldn’t upset the Apple cart by saying...... WHY???...... oh wait. I just did. I feel so ashamed .......

XFL is still a thing?

They brought it back.

The inaugural weekend for the revived league was last weekend.

So far, I’m really liking it. I realize it will never be as big as the NFL, but I don’t care.

They’ve made several rule and gameplay changes that, to me, make the game and broadcast more engaging and interesting. By comparison...again, just my opinion...the NFL seems kind of plodding and lethargic.

I hope the XFL sticks around.
