I am watching a decent football game in March, and it doesn't involve that other football.

The Oilers' locker room is clearly a storage room. The Sea Dragons look like they're just sitting in a hallway.

Does this stadium not have any locker rooms?

The Battlehawks exposed the Roughnecks defense and it seems like every team has them figured out now

Hell, Cornelius threw two TDs on them

Catches in general are really flexible in the XFL. You can even catch the ball and have it hit the ground as long as you don't lose control of the ball. In the NFL you gotta have some part of your body between the ball and the ground. The rule is basically if you have control (i.e. the ball isn't moving in your hands) and you aren't out of bounds, it's a catch.

Oh so it's an "I know a catch when I see it" rule?

I actually like that

Although the ball absolutely can hit the ground in the NFL as long as it doesn't move

e: Hate to see an XFL dude leaving the field injured, you know he's hosed if it's anything serious

Yes, but this forum isn't really reflective of the general sports audience. The league seems to be performing solidly in actual ratings. Dropping viewers every week but in the sort of small amounts you'd hope to see, still beating every other sporting event it goes up against, and stadium attendance actually going up.

I think a lot of the viability of the league will be determined by playoff ratings after March Madness crushes some of the later weeks.
