XFL is getting 3 point conversions baby

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

"The XFL's overtime rules are currently being tested in the Spring League. Luck said each team will have five opportunities to convert a two-point conversion in the overtime session. The defense would score one point with a turnover.

Forty-four players will be on the field at the same time in the overtime session, with both team's offenses and defenses on opposite ends of the field."

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


For as much garbage as La Canfora posts you'd expect him to get at least some of it right. Broken clock and all that. But dude is always loving wrong.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

Interesting, so they're trying the unusual path of getting paid for their content instead of whatever the AAF did.

USFL only failed because they moved to the Fall and tried to directly compete with the NFL.

Edit: it's a shame they couldn't have combined the AAF and XFL. The AAF had interesting ideas and the XFL actually has money to pay people

If the XFL steals all the AAF's gameplay and broadcast ideas and provides a similar quality of play then Im sure I'll be able to stomach the excessively patriotic bullshit I'm sure they're going to cram in there for the sake of the game

Doesn't sound like it, the other tweet with the schedule mentions "No rights fee paid." Maybe they're at least not paying the networks though.
