XFL Discussion Thread

[TopekaRoy]

While we wait on the draft and free agency, and bask and the warmth of a Super Bowl Championship, there is still some football to watch ... Sort of. Will you be watching the XFL? Who will you be rooting for (if anyone)? I guess St. Louis is the closest team to KC. Do you know of any teams with players who have ties to the Chiefs, or Mizzou, or Kansas, or area high schools, etc?

Are the hashmark lines even closer together than they are in the NFL? They might as well just put one line down the middle and always spot the ball there.

They had a TV deal with NBC for Saturday nights. People watched at first saw the bad football and goofy horrible skits they did with the wrestling guys and said no thanks. HE HATE ME was the only reason people really talked much about the first XFL

Yeah, even taking cameras into the cheerleaders' locker rooms at halftime couldn't save them!

So watching these games I wonder how many of these guys would be cheap for the next NFL season. If Watkins is not back we could use Sammie Coates and save a good amount of Cap space And hope they can work with his hands

These are mostly players that have been CUT by the NFL, but this is a good chance for teams to get another look at players whose careers would otherwise be over.

P.J Walker might be getting himself some NFL calls if he does this all season

Looks like a mix of NFL and College rules. Not sure how I feel about the kick-offs; they seem to have taken away the onside.

Their onsides is trying a 4th and 15 it wouldn't be a kick
