Very key to a viable watching experience There is Money tied to winning. And I am sure the players care Splitting the $100K award among the active players is an interesting idea. Nice little game bonus. Like the Best Fight award in a UFC event. 1
MAJBobby Posted February 8, 2020 Author Posted February 8, 2020 I kinda like the Spruce kid. 9 TGTs 8 Catches 93 yards.

Watching their NFL team, most would want the option to punt

Watching their NFL team, most would want the option to punt they have the option to punt. Just makes it de incentivized when close to other endzone. 1

And that’s really all the XFL needed from today good broadcasting. And good enough play with entertaining games. Enough to keep the TV crowd to tune in again. I'll be back. Gotta see my Guardians tear it up! Edited February 9, 2020 by Real McNasty

Add in that the have already made more revenue in tickets before kickoff than the AAF did the entire year should show there is a market. Also the QB play hasn’t been Atrocious yet like in AAF 1
Phil The Thrill Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 It’s crazy.... it seems like fans are actually enjoying the XFL. Mostly positive feedback 1

Beast Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I want to see LA score a TD here to see if they will go for 3.
astb41 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) With all the NFL talk by the commentators it actually feels like a minor league to the NFL, which is fine with me. The first time around I remember them acting better than or like the NFL didn’t exist. Definitely feels much more polished than the AAF. The fan turn out is interesting. Wonder what made the crowds show up for this rather than the AAF. it would be cool if they could get 1-2 year college kids to come play and get paid before the NFL. Like a Trevor Lawrence.

MAJBobby Posted February 9, 2020 Author Posted February 9, 2020 O also Thank you Vince, Luck and the XFL for giving me something to watch besides the yearly tire fire that is the Sabres

Beast Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I have to think ticket sales may increase as the weeks go on. It isn’t the NFL for sure but it is entertaining and the networks are doing an outstanding job in their production.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 The Houston unis are so similar to the Texans, plus the Oilers-esque logo. Wonder what the NFL thinks?
