Obviously I do too.

Feels good to watch some football that doesn't make me feel bad to watch.

Damn. I love the wildcat.

The Fox coverage is way better than ABC's coverage. Fox isn't all hung up on the radio chatter and they don't have half the screen full of crawls. If I wanted to know college basketball scores I'd look them up on my phone.

I'm watching the Houston / LA game. I like it so far. I like the way the kickoffs work.

The season's only like 10 weeks long though. If it went year round that would run out to about 230k a year, plus bonuses.

I enjoyed the game. No teams in my area but I still watched it. Entertaining right up to the end.

Makes me glad I bought tix to the Dallas-Houston game.

Same here.

Would love to see a WV team in the XFL.

Seems like a heck of a learning curve, but the center screwed that one up bad. Should have snapped on the whistle, holder HAS to be ready

This the same XFL that failed miserably 20 years ago?

Thanks OP, I'm really enjoying this. Love the kickoffs. What a way to keep it as a legit part of the game without the concussion risk. And the was too fucking stupid to think of this and just basically did away with them.

Same, but different. Instead of just trying to copy the NFL with a hyped up WWF BODY SLAMS MIGHT OCCUR, they actually sat down and figured out the current problems with the NFL's football, and appear to have come up with solid solutions.

This Houston QB has really impressed me.

Lol I heard the coach mad under his breath on that miscue.

I'm really enjoying these games. It's been very entertaining.

Posted: 2/8/2020 8:09:31 PM EDT

It reminds me a lot of the NFL growing up in the 80's and early 90's. A lot more action, quicker pace, and big hits.

Its soo refreshing seeing a QB get whacked and no flag. And hearing the players being interviewed saying they are happy to be there for the love of the game is really cool.

Also damn This game is crazy good soo far!!! Some insane plays by the Houston QB

Posted: 2/8/2020 8:13:42 PM EDT

I like it so far. The big hits have my attention.

I said I didn't care about it. I said I wouldn't watch it.

I am, and it's great! Vince saved football!

Man what a hit

LA's QB is a mouthy punk. He's blaming everyone else for everything that goes wrong. Yet he's made a number of terrible throws and questionable decisions.

He's like a less skilled Peyton Manning lol.

Yeah he's losing it. I was going to be a wildcats fan but I think I'm about to change my mind.

I walked in at the start of the second half and it was like I was watching an NFL game, in terms of the announcers, audio, and camera angles. Fox coverage is great.

I thought I read that some players (QB for example) were getting paid close to NFL minimum (500k) although most are far below that.

I didnt get to watch much of the earlier game.

I like the fact that Houston is using a variation of the old Houston Oilers logo, however.

Surprisingly good football. I wish them the best success.

So far, I see a lot of humble guys that the NFL and others threw away just having fun playing football.

This league is a lot of fun. I’m loving the new extra point rules.

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching these games. I'll definitely watch the games on TV tomorrow too.

LOVED arena football

No sidelines when I went to the Columbus games. Many times players ended up in bleachers, in one case the Michigan played got beat on by Ohio fans.

If you played football year round you'd be beat to piss.

To be fair, the wild cucks are making it easy for them.

That hit on the Wildcat’s receiver along his own sideline, was brutal - he literally couldn’t stand after trying to get up. That’s going to be one serious concussion, if not a season ending injury.

I just looked at the XFL website. I think the Team 9 idea is pretty cool.

It would be cool if they actually became a team for another city. Guys could say, "I was former Team 9."

Seems like it's pretty much just like the practice squads in the NFL but instead of working with their individual teams they work together and go wherever. That kinda makes sense for such a small league thats player base is going to need all the reps they can get to put a good product on the field.
