People saying that the XFL will close after one season really don't understand how much money Vince is planning on stuffing into this thing. Ungodly, gently caress you amounts of money

Ungodly, gently caress you amounts of money That's true, but I think that if the ratings are bad, they'll lose their distribution from the networks. Isn't that what killed the original XFL?

I'm glad that former Ravens 1st round pick that totally lived up to his hype, Matt Elam, is the starting safety for D.C. Defenders

I will say, of all the rules that they're changing, I'm fond of the kickoff rule. Schiano rule is better, but this, if you have to have one, is a decent compromise.

so are these games any good or is it a few hours of receivers dropping passes and RBs with zero burst to the line like the AAF was

Well Sammie Coates is still a drop machine and the RBs are ssllllllooooooooowwwwww But PJ Walker kinda owns

The production is fun, lots of field-level sound. The games look like they're played and officiated competently and I like the kickoffs now that I've seen them in action. This is not the worst thing I've had on while I crash on my couch and shitpost on my phone all day.

Weird question I had from the MTD: The second game took three hours which seems to be in line with the average for the NFL. I thought XFL was going for a faster pace, what are the things that are supposed to move the game along faster and can they do more? I'm sure it sounds dumb as gently caress to you dudes but I'd probably be all in and ordering some tickets if it didn't feel like that second game took an eternity

I think the expectation is that the pace of place will tighten up as the season goes on, but realistically between injury timeouts/challenges/etc I don’t think it’ll end up being that different. One less timeout and a shortened play clock can only go so far e: if the tickets are really like $10 I’d say just go to one and if you get bored leave early and beat the traffic. I’m sure it’ll still be a fun experience WEH fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Feb 9, 2020 |

I’m optimistic about it. First games from a brand new league, and they weren’t that bad. I’ll watch tomorrow’s games as well I think.

One less timeout and a shortened play clock can only go so far I will probably check out at least one game just to say I did. I believed the marketing hype though and I somehow expected a really high pace which in retrospect was dumb. It's weird how a bit of time can make such a difference, I've got season tickets to soccer which is regularly close to or over 2 hours, watch a handful of hockey and basketball games every year that are over 2 hours pretty much every time and I enjoy that just fine but man does my stupid lizard brain just start turning off when it comes to the later half of baseball or football games.

Spent a bit googling trying to find any sort of replay without success.  I was really looking forward to the XFL debut today, but if half the games are on Saturdays I’ll never get to see them.Hype for the games tomorrow though. Hoping for hilarious clownball.

Clock timing rules in the last two minutes of the half should prolong the game a little bit, since teams can't run the clock out so easily.

I enjoyed when it confused a team so much they accidently ran out the clock at the half while setting up for a field goal. I look forward to the time when a team screws up the extra point math on a lead allowing for the other team to make an avoidable comeback.

I missed the first half of the Dragons game, but caught all of the Roughnecks game. If tomorrow's games hold up, I'd say that the XFL is off to a better start than the AAF was.
