sabremike Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It really feels like the entire point of the XFL is creating content for degenerate gamblers to wager on. Football as horse racing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 So in the Defenders game, security took away the fan's beer cup snake so they threw lemons on the field in retaliation. I don't know why they had lemons. They picked up some of them but then gave up and resumed play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I've watched one XFL game so far and my main conclusion is Ben DiNucci sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 One game in and it seems fairly obvious that Josh Gordon is going to make sure he gets back to the NFL despite having Ben DiNucci throwing him the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Turned on a game Saturday afternoon and was briefly impressed at the size of the crowd. Hot crowd. They were cheering their heads off. Took me about 30 seconds to realize I had left the tv on the NFL Network the the night before and the game on the screen was actually a replay of the Jacksonville-KC playoff game from a few weeks earlier. Crowd was decidedly more mild once I flipped stations to an actual XFL game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I do like some of the XFL rule changes. I know NFL is officially using them to test some stuff out, but the kickoffs of course are a huge plus and I like the "onside kick" change. I don't know if the NFL will ever do anything that drastic but its a lot better than the regular onside kick. I will say that even though the 1-2-3 point try and "one challenge to challenge ANYTHING" rules are neat, no way NFL ever does those two. I'm also disappointed XFL isn't using an "eye in the sky" replay system as I still think that is the future of football. And having no automatic challenges under two minutes feels like a bad idea. Maybe they just don't have the cameras to do it but a couple referees watching everything in real time to quickly change bad calls is still the way to go. Maybe one day.

Announcers celebrating and endorsing fans throwing things onto the field is a very bad idea for reasons anyone smarter than a goldfish (or who watched mid/late 90's wrestling) could figure out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattleHawks games are drawing great TV ratings in St. Louis and their tickets are selling tickets like hotcakes, so that's definitely the team I'm rooting for. Anthony Becht is a very good coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Becht is a very good coach. I haven't watched any this year, but the 2020 xfl St. Louis crowds were absolutely engaged and crazy passionate. They were the single thing that most justified the league imo. I'm happy for St Louis that they get another chance to cheer for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude played here 2 years and was a backup the whole time. The word legend gets thrown around too much in all avenues. My wife was watching one of the Real Housewives shows and Ronnie DeVoe of Bell Biv Devoe's wife was one there. She was introduced as the wife of "music legend" Ronnie DeVoe. Now, I love BBD as much as the next guy, but calling him a legend is a huge stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I don't know what awesome tech that the NFL uses to keep their camera lens' dry while filming games (maybe an umbrella??) but the XFL needs to find it. Trying to watch the Vegas/DC game but half the time the action is blurry from rain being on the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) and because he slipped and couldn't make it to the 20, Vegas got the ball at the DC 40 I believe So far Rod Woodson is the best XFL mic up coach that I have seen. he doesn't take any shit Edited February 26 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
