Who knew his inability to create an offensive gameplan was clouded by 3 down football in the CFL while having the best QB to ever play in the league

I might swap LA and Seattle, but I agree with it for the most part.

Shame Trestman's going to keep Tampa in the gutter with his dynamic QB scheming.

That was really the only controversial decision I made there, because LA is 0-2 but they've also played two of the better teams so I still believe in them a bit more overall. Seattle only has a win because they met the one team that was worse than them, at least in my opinion

Cardale Jones has been fun as hell, I thought he was gonna be a pain to watch but that hasn't really been so

I mean, check this out! Turns out you can't get sacked if you just fumble the ball real quick before hitting the ground

McGloin blowing up is pretty good for the league. They should lean into it. XFL got a ton of play today on sports shows because of it.

Not sure. A flag was thrown on the play and ended up being on the defense, so maybe he thought it was a holding call or some other foul being called on his side

My point was that the two best teams (Houston/DC) are playing the two worst teams (TB/LA) so both games will probably be hilarious blowouts that get turned off at halftime

Reign on me.
XFL lost a little less than a third of their average viewers from week one.

This is a huge step up from the first go round when week 2 ratings were half of week 1.

Man the ratings free-fall of the original XFL was hilarious. The season opener did something like a 10.8 and by the time the Million Dollar Championship rolled around they were averaging like 1s and 2s.

Didn't technical difficulties lead to like an hour long delay for the prime time game in week 2 or something? I seem to remember something about it from the 30 for 30 doc.

reportedly the BattleHawks home opener is fully sold out, and they're considering opening up parts of the second (club) deck of the Dome if demand remains hot.

I enjoy the relative lack of a news cycle around the XFL and its players. There is just enough coverage that it stays relevant.
