XFL 2023

[Bearsyzf]

I think the sport is running on a shoestring budget. It's fun enough to watch and I hope it survives to play another season. I guess the cost of a couple of nets and a couple of guys to pull them up when needed exceeds the cost of a few footballs. ....until they put someone's eye out.

I don't believe they made it through the whole season the first time they started the league

This is my first season to be exposed to XFL. As one who only watches sports, I like it. It is not on the top of my list of things to watch but there is certainly time to see some of their games. I hope they can make a go of it.

 

[Bearsyzf]

Me to, but at least there will still be the USFL & CFL to watch.

Orlando just blows

 

[treb1797]

Now they're making a comeback

 

[treb1797]

38,310 fans in St. Louis today. That's just awesome.

 

[Bearsyzf]

They had that Dome rockin

The beer snake the fans do in DC is worth the price of admission.

The beer snake got pretty big, so are so happy to have it back and now they have beer snake rules lol

 

[treb1797]

I saw the rules, freaking hilarious, glad they were followed. Now they need to chill with throwing lemons on the field.

The extra points are interesting. One of the first games had one team come back from 15-3 and win. Crazy comeback.
I haven't had the chance to watch. This past weekend was full of sports that XFL was #4 on my priority list. (March Madness, World Baseball Classic, Sixers and then XFL)

 

[olbriar]

I missed all of the XFL games last weekend too. I love March Madness and it becomes a priority. I have enjoyed what XFL I've seen but it squeaks into my list just above girls college volley ball. I love the NFL and MLB then college basketball and everything else plays second fiddle.

Looks like the NFL may bring up the 4th and 20 "rule" instead of an onside kick, for a vote or discussion in the next league wide meetings. Similar the XFL rules.

NFL owners meetings will have replay, kickoff rules at top of docket

PHOENIX — Steelers president Art Rooney II and 31 other NFL owners have returned to their favorite desert oasis to decide, among other things, if...

The XFL will eventually get X'ed out, so i wouldn't be using any of their rules.... but it is better than nothing.

 

[treb1797]

At least the game on today is before March Madness. I'll give it a whirl.

 

[treb1797]

Looks like we got Monday Night Football XFL style tomorrow night. Nice!!

Added : looks like the game is Houston vs DC, the top 2 teams in the league, so it should be a good one. Also, the game is in DC so come for the game, but stay for the beer snake.

 

[olbriar]

It looked like a blowout so I ran to Lowe's for some supplies. Just one left standing.

 

[treb1797]

XFL or The Masters. Hmmm...

 

[olbriar]

It's difficult to beat the drama of falling pines on spectators.

 

[treb1797]

With the Masters rained out I had no choice really, but I'll tell you what that Vegas vs St. Louis game was unbelievable. Great hard hitting game with a lot of action. It went to overtime and I really like the OT format. It's like soccer style penalty kicks, basically each team has 3 tries from the 5 yard line. If there is an offensive penalty the try is no good, if there is a defensive penalty it's half the distance and they retry, unless if the offense scores on the play.

I tried to watch the second game, Arlington vs Orlando, but Orlando is just so terrible their games are hard to watch.

 

[Bearsyzf]

Yeah , I watched the Arlington and Orlando game... it was a snooze fest.

 

[treb1797]

All the other 3 games were awesome. 2 went into OT and the other one came down right until the end. Outside of Orlando, these games this year have been great.

 

[Bearsyzf]

I've liked most of the games i saw this season.

 

[olbriar]

I have liked them as well. A high enough level for athleticism and competitiveness to be entertaining.

 

[treb1797]

This Orlando vs St. Louis game is awesome!! Orlando has nothing to lose so they're pulling rabbits out of the hat & St. Louis needs to win for playoff purposes. Every game this weekend has playoff implications.
