St Louis had almost 40k at their game yesterday. That's insane for an xfl game

DC could use a new team to root for, as well

That commentator couldn't stop talking about the freaking beer snake... It was getting annoying.

Seattle stomped Houston. Who saw that coming? If not for stupid turnovers that kept Houston in the game, it was no contest.

 

I love it.

XFL knows how to handle the delay of game call. In the DC/ StL game, DC hiked the ball just after the clock hit zero and they still threw the flag. So easy. So simple.

 

Just goes to show the NFL's handling of the rule is BS.

It's a simple thing that basketball figured-out decades ago.  When the clock hits zero sound a horn.  It's not rocket surgery.

It always amazes me the way the NFL tries to explain it like it's such a nuanced process. They think we're stupid. I love having these other leagues because they're able to confirm what we already know.

Didn't catch the whole game but this Seattle vs DC game has been pretty entertaining the last few drives.

The St Louis Battlehawks XFL is a great success story but I don’t think the XFL is going to make it because the USFL has the better long range business plan to just stay the course until the market gets use to you like USL, MLS, WNBA. The XFL went all in markets right away which was successful in St Louis. But Las Vegas the Vegas Vipers is failing the IFL indoor football team is drawing a good amount of fans the Vegas Knight Hawks for less cost operations wise. San Antonio crowds after opening game have been decreasing. The Rock doesn’t have the funds to absorb those kind of money losses for long. Fox is loaded with money and smartly starting small in hub cities and also waiting for the weather to get warmer and not going against the NCAA basketball tournament. If I am a betting man which I am not I think the USFL will survive but even that depends on how much money does Fox want to lose until the USFL spring football gets established that is the million dollar question.
 

I would choose the USFL for Buffalo over XFL because of the later start of there spring football season fits Buffalo weather the best. Even though I think Arena football/indoor football at Key Bank Center is a better fit for Buffalo because of the less cost salary structure wise players get paid peanuts $250 to $500 a game in the Indoor Football League. And it gives Key Bank Center much needed events. I am hopeful Buffalo will get some kind of indoor football back by 2030 at the latest when that incompetent Terry Pegula sells the Buffalo Sabres. I am celebrating pizza and wings at BSF house when Terry Pegula sells the Buffalo Sabres and PSE is out of the arena sports business. When Buffalo gets a real owner that knows how to grow business not just wait to collect taxpayer public money we will get things like indoor sports like football, soccer and basketball back in Key Bank Center for the good fans of Buffalo. I see the TBL which has a team in Albany the Albany Patroons are part of the new Basketball Super League with the best basketball teams around the world not in the NBA, NBA G League.
 

I know brainwashed Terry Pegula defenders Buffalo is too small, doesn’t have a nickel to it’s name be glad we have the Buffalo Bills and 12 years of suffering from the Buffalo Sabres right don’t forget PSL’s and Buffalo Sabres will try hard for the last playoff spot next season. But we shouldn’t count on that from the Buffalo Sabres because they are just kids after all at 21 to 41 years old right that is just nuts have standards Buffalo and have more opportunities for winning teams by allowing more sports teams into this market. If the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres can’t survive because of the Buffalo Destroyers or Buffalo Blizzard that is on the incompetent management of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Buffalo

I like the vibe and history that comes with the USFL, but the XFL's operation and broadcast has been better.

 

Like the crazy poster above says, the USFL's business plan seems more favorable for long term success.

 

These two leagues should really look into merging eventually.
