Xfl kicks off this week


Which league is anyone excited for? I am a usfl fan since I was a fan as a kid, and they won the title barely Last year. So yea.

I am not anti xfl I don't think it will last long to be honest . But will watch it

I've watched a little of like, 3 games or so, a full half of the Seattle Sea Dragons week one game. I'm into it, it's not appointment viewing but the games do seem pretty fun, and I like the kickoff and PAT systems.

Wild to see Bruce Gradkowski working as St Louis' OC. There are some real names among these coaching staffs.

I like the fact that both leagues are around not sure the market can support both.  I like the USFL a little better but think the "new" XFL seems to have a better chance long term.  Mainly because of who is involved and the press that gets it.

i think ESPN is behind the XFL and Fox is behind USFL, I hope both do well

Defenders and roughnecks are 3-0 so far. The games are OK. It took the USFL like 4 weeks to start ramping up last year.

April 15 is when the USFL kicks off

It will end in June then August will have fall camps start in August.

CFL will run from may to Nov.... a full year of football? This is great.

USFL is off to a wierd start. The showboats are looking strong started 0-3 and reeled off 3 straight.
Bham is 4-2 looking avg
NO the team that has looked the best this season is 4-1 looking to go 5-1 vs. the stars this weekend.

The north division looks pathetic this year. (record wise) they have lost close games.

USFL standings are in a weird place.

Stars are leading the north at 3-3
3 way tie at 2-4 for the rest of the north

The south is in a 3 way tie at 4-2     with New Orleans with a tie breaker
Memphis is 3-3 but has beaten NO

Funny standings

Heck of a game last night. I imagine Lions fans are donating money to whatever charity Kadarius Toney supports as a thank you.

From a tweet (I still call it twitter because fuck Elon Musk) I'd seen this morning: Aaron Rodgers' last completed pass is still to Lions Safety Kerby Joseph.  :D

Curious if the dumbass will trust the medical science on this one, insist on doing his own research, or going to his dim bulb buddies RFK Jr. and Joe Rogaine on his injury.

It's the most Jets thing that's ever happened. Couldn't have gone any other way. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

they always trust the science when it's serious and could affect them personally.

The XFL and USFL merger is about to be complete. Rumored to be renamed the UFL.

4 teams from each league is rumored to be in the new league. Supposed to have the stallions so I am excited.

Interesting, didn't know this was a thing that was happening. So it'll be an 8-team league? Wonder if the SeaDragons will still be around.
