I mean it's not entirely surprising it lacks polish. I love the mic'd up stuff and conversion stuff, and onside kick, even if it hurt my team already. ESPN won't even let me pick a favorite XFL team and have them always show up, they should fix that part.

Tbh my biggest complaint is the constant sideline interviews with people who very obviously do not want to loving do it or have nothing to say. Dial that back by 90%. They interviewed the linebacker coach tonight and it went "yeah my guys hit hard" "are they doing what you want?" "yeah. they hit hard!" "ok thanks coach, great talk" Every once in a while you hit gold which is of course why they do it. Like on opening weekend a dude got a game winning sack and he was crying and telling his baby that daddy does it all for her and poo poo and it was awesome. But you can probably judge which of those extremes you are going to get beforehand.

"ok thanks coach, great talk" I'd like less sideline interviews and more just listening to the people who are mic'd up. Like today, there was a moment where a Guardians WR was complaining about something, and HC Buckley just shut him down IMMEDIATELY. Great moment that probably happens a lot in sports that we hardly ever see. On the other hand, the ESPN sideline reporter jumping on the Brahmas WR who had literally just caught a TD pass to interview him was not a good look, and that's the stuff that I'm not really interested in seeing. Anyways, things in Orlando are going great: https://twitter.com/olisamir/status/1629997585481056256 https://twitter.com/Kwen_C/status/1629985532737462272

Grip it and rip it posted:What did yall that did watch think of the games? Is this competitive football or more college level schlock? college football is very good and entertaining, this is sub-college level because, like the USFL last year, their preseason was like 3 weeks long so none of the teams have any sort of cohesion or ability to work together and it makes the offenses especially just absolutely dreadful to watch

For what it's worth, those ratings are basically on par with bottom-tier college football matchups, e.g., Tulsa @ Temple. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ The XFL isn't going to make it to year 3 or 4 with viewership that bad. It's not financially sustainable.

They're laughing all the way to the bank based on media deals alone I would assume. This thing is going to last at least 2 seasons.

It’s a lot of poorly thrown balls. Lots of missed catches. Lots of -1 to 1 yard rushes. Weird fumbles that seem like they’re for no reason. It’s like modern error art.

What an amazing career College: Transferred from Tennessee to Houston for literally 8 yards of playtime in a year, then transferred to Central Michigan, started a full year and made a bowl Went to the CFL instead of NFL, got an NFL lookout a year later but was told "no I'm good", fired months later Backup backup plan was being a backup in the XFL behind Paxton Lynch. Lynch gets benched immediately, replacing him he immediately throws a touchdown pass, and then gets investigated and fired for giving their plans to the opposition

Oh cool. A windy game. It's not like these offenses suck enough. Also, I'm guessing we're not bothering with a week 3 thread. E: Oh my god. Even the kickoff is trash.
