This jack coan is in the XFL I remember watching him at Wisconsin and notre Dame

These kickers ass

I turned it on right before the half and they couldn't even do the clock right, for 6 seconds they had it as :6 instead of :06, maybe they should have delayed it another year to figure that out

I'm in line outside the DC stadium. I look at the Seattle roster which has Josh Gordon

Does the current XFL still allow players with college eligibility like the 2020 XFL?

I need to review the film tomorrow because apparently st Louis won. Why do we need an onside kick anyway.

There was a story with a guy who had 2 years left of eligibility with uw and foregone it so he could play for Seattle.

I one day want to see the XFL at 12 teams divided into East, Central, and West divisions with aims to put four expansion teams in non-NFL/USFL markets.

East: Columbus, DC, Orlando, Raleigh-Durham
Central: Arlington, Houston, St. Louis, San Antonio
West: Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, Vegas

The East Division would contain three of the same markets as the NHL's Metropolitan Division.

Watching these games so far it seems as though the entire point of the XFL is to create content for problem gamblers to bet on, football unapologetically as horse racing.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised there's any teams in NFL cities. To me leagues like this should be in cities without NFL teams, moving out of NY and LA made sense.

Teams are in cities where they could get reasonable stadium deals, nothing more, nothing less.

League won’t live or die by attendance. Unless they get under like 10K. Does impact the viewing experience as sounds does elevate the game.

It’s programming for the networks.

They’re likely going to hover just above 10k in most markets (3 stadiums are under 25k capacity as it is), but they still have to pay to run the buildings, and travel, both being significant costs that the USFL - whose owners are the actual networks, didn’t want to take on. Unlike the last XFL, I think Dwayne is actually getting paid since he has a much better reputation.

XFL fired the GM of San Antonio evidently due to a personal matter.

He tried to cash his paycheck, and they wanted him to wait a few more days

That’s…weird?

 

[Unholy Diver]

No, it's a the league is Broke/Bankrupt joke

I would guess whatever he did was probably worse

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I think AJ McCarron will be just fine.​

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

As I understand it these are minor football leagues, but not official farm leagues to the NFL?

I think AJ McCarron will be just fine.​

I'm surprised she didn't leave him after giving up a multimillion dollar backup NFL gig to make 60K in the XFL, she should have had him committed
