That OT is batshit crazy

I actually like all of those rules a lot. Except for the punt rules where you can't pin an opponent deep via coffin corner kick. I really don't like them taking that away.

Sure you can. Just don't let bounce out of bounds or in the endzone.

They essentially just copied soccer's penalty shootout.

How long does it take to change the squads? Because in the worst case scenario that shootout could take ages. I've seen some dreadful hockey shootouts despite there being one attempt every 30 seconds or so.

I think they were talking about having them line up on different ends of the field for quicker transitions between tries.

Seeing as the defense can't return, couldn't you just park one offense-defense in one end zone and the other defense-offense in the other?

Better yet, do that and they play simultaneously. But then they'd need to get Kevin Harlan to call the action.

I hope they include players from the first time the XFL was a thing, being able to make a team with Rod Smart on it is probably the only thing that would get me to buy the game.

I bet you can get likeness rights for all of them for a song. If Vince McMahon doesn't still own them because he's really good at writing contracts that gently caress over his employees independent contractors.

He should be signed as a punter and then never actually kick the ball when it’s snapped to him.

The XFL should just become a league where you take players and completely play them out of position.

Kicker Chad Johnson, Left Tackle David Carr, Wide Receiver Lamar Jackson, and QB Tim Tebow.
