I was only able to watch bits and pieces of a game last weekend. This weekend I'm going to sit down and watch an entire game.

I'm hoping a game goes into OT because their OT format sounds fun as hell.

Also, the NFL would be fools if they don't immediately adopt the XFL's kickoff rules. #MakeKickoffReturnsFunAgain

I bet on the Dallas/Stl game. It was as actually a lot of fun to watch it. I think gambling is going to be a big draw for the XFL.

Not sure if it is just the acoustics at Century Link, but the Seattle crowd in this game is loud.

The female review official sucked in the Defenders game. The ref was upset with her dithering and didn't hide his annoyance.

I am pretty sure the league will make it a year as McMahon has sunk the cost.

But if they don't get better QBing, it has no chance whatsoever.

Yeah but they need the chance to actually develop QB talent. Right now you have a bunch of brand new guys throwing to brand new receivers in offenses they are still learning. I'd imagine it will take a year for the QB play to improve.

McMahon has already committed to 3 years operating at a loss. He is definitely giving this a chance to succeed

I don't think that they can develop any of these bums. I mean, Matt McGloin? It is going to take an NFL team to really screw up to let even a practice squad type fall to them. The salaries are just not worth it.

I would agree except they don't need NFL level QBs. They need to snatch the guys from college who are ultra productive but don't have the arm strength for the NFL. The speed of the XFL will let those guys succeed.

I won't get to watch today because I'm going to a Tech baseball game. I didn't want anyone sitting in here waiting on me. :unsure

Speaking of Tech baseball, they have scored 22 runs in consecutive games.

Pause the video before the referee announces the penalties and ejections. Predict how many of each there will be. Then press play

So, just tuned in to the Renegades game.

The game is 3-3 with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

They have turned the ball over three times, Landry Jones is a fat ass bum and Hal Mumme still has a bathroom towel around his neck.

This is quite simply a bad product right now. The scoring in this weekend's games has been nonexistent.

LA now has three pro football teams that the locals don't care about.
