It's really cool listening in on the ref's when they are huddling, I've never heard that before

Interviewing the QB 2 minutes after a pick 6, I like it.

The crowd looks pretty good as well. No trick camera angles either.

It's a big crowd.

Its good i like it.

Football is football.

I also noted that first replay decision is straight out of the National Rugby Leagues "bunker" system. Its not perfect, they just make quick calls on what they see and you can hear the discussion. All done in under 1 minute.

Cool until the refs inevitably become the new TV "journalist".  

Maybe I am cynical , but if XFL gets big, they will make a show out of the refs. And will hire personalities to make that show entertaining.

Sideline reporter talked to Elijah Qualls as he stroked the fumbled ball, said he's not giving it up to anybody, LOL.  Game balls carry the offensive team's logo, so fumble recoveries and interceptions are customized trophies.

That would suck.

Hopefully their focus remains on being football for the sake of football.

I watched the 4th Quarter. I definitely need to get to a DC home game. It looked pretty good to me. Keeping the fumbled ball as a trophy is cool.

So much better in between plays than Collinsworth paraphrasing interviews we don't get to see and talking about whose mom makes the best meatloaf or Elway trying to sober up while struggling to hide his hatred for Joe Buck.

The overtime rules are interesting..

Overtime shall consist of 5 “Rounds”, staged in alternating single-play possessions as is customary in NHL shootouts or MLS penalty kicks. A “Round” will consist of one offensive play per team. Each possession starts at the opponent’s 5-yard line and the offensive team has one play to score. The team with more points after 5 rounds is the winner.
if the score is tied after five rounds, then it goes into sudden death until one team scores and the other doesn't in a single round.

If you win the game, you also get a $2000 bonus.  These guys ( not counting the qbs) are not getting NFL money, so a weekly 2k bonus would be awesome.

I think so, It was Trumps too IIRC.

That wasnt the best time, but today with the NFL shenangigans and Anti-American tones, this is a great time to have a Football League who focuses on just football and not SJW hopt topics. Plus so far its not as pussy as the NFL woth kickofss and quarterback protection. Which I Personally love.
I was the XFL, Vince McMahon also, HeHateMe and all that.

Unless you meant the World Football League.
Then there was the AAF. Total disaster.
WFL was a long time ago.  AAF, if I remember correctly, was going to be a feeder league to the NFL, with the opportunity to be moved to the NFL with no buyout.  The NFL wanted to put practice squad players in the AAF but the players union shot it down and their support fell afterwards.

Not a bad crowd at the LA-Houston game. Would like to see the upper decks filled though.

Anything that puts a thorn in the side of the SJW NFL is good.
