Wait, so they’re playing football in this football league?
XFL Today!
- Thread starter Bro D
- Start date
Some of these guys look NFL ready. Jordan Smallwood looking really impressive.
I just turned it on. There is also a UFC fight downtown tonight. My friends are in for a long night lol
Your buddies are drunk! These teams are playing hard. This is fun.
Really surprised there are already fans in full team regalia....
they started tailgating around noon. It’s at (correction) U of H stadium. I suspect they’ll find some help to get through the night.
Butler almost takes that one to the house.
The quality of football in these first two games is far above expectations. Some really good coaches that they were able to snag for this league as well.

Yep. And I’ll guarantee they’ll be at Treasures after the fight. With these guys, I wouldn’t be surprised if they send me a pic of them with Dana White in the champagne room
There are no kicking XP, its either a 1 2 or 3 point attempt
They can go for 1 (2yds), 2 (5yds), or 3 (8yds?). No kicking though.
Interesting thing I just read. The XFL has a 40-player "team 9" that acts as a farm team/ practice squad for teams to sign players from as they need to. It has its own coaching staff. I think that's a really good idea.
I read that also. Was confused at first but now I get it. XFL is out to a great start in my opinion.
Games have been entertaining. Quality of play is better than college football IMO.
Let's pump the brakes.........it is good, but two top AAC teams playing are just entertaining, if not more
Not to mention Chuck Long is their Offensive Coordinator and QB coach. That's Cool. Sounds like this Dallas team they are playing today is picked to win it all.So far it looks good to me. I'll root for the St. Louis BattleHawks since its the closest to home. Plus they have Hawks in their name.
Just watching here and there over the weekend, I don't see why the XFL can't make it.
It doesn't seem like they are trying to turn into a pro wrestling style of production as they did with XFL v1.0. Also, I think the first time they tried promoting themselves as the alternative to the NFL.
If fans have realistic expectations and enjoy the games for what they are (no expectations on a extreme level of play, and some football to watch when the NFL is not playing) and if it helps some guys who may have been overlooked jumpstart a chance to get to the NFL or resurrect some careers, cool.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that. I'd put the quality of play somewhere between a low-tier bowl game and the second half of the third NFL pre-season game.
It's still better than the first version of the XFL. It's less cartoonish and gimmicky.
Really enjoy live look and listen with Ref and Review booth. The damn refs were light years better than NFL refs.
Can't say it's any worse than watching a Jaguar vs. Cincinnati game minus the fantasy football implications. I like the experimenting with the rules. Maybe something the NFL can adopt here and there just like they did with the sky cam that was originally tried in the first xfl if I recall correctly. Still miss the old Orlando Rage logo though.
Good call 83Hawk. Jonathan Hayes played 3 seasons for the Hawks and was drafted 41st in the second round to the Chiefs. Playing 12 NFL seasons. That's Badass. This XFL is sucking me in more and more as I learn the teams and the rules.
I was thinking this morning that they need to create fantasy for this. Fantasy football brought so many more people to watch NFL.
Absolutely 100%. Will increase tv viewership dramatically to bring the league more $$.
Hell, I'm a football nut, but there are plenty of NFL games that I would not watch for any reason outside of the fact that either myself or an opponent has a fantasy player in it.
