Levis goes in the first ten picks of the second round. The only situation in which a prospective major talent, much less a QB, doesn't get drafted at all is if there is some incredibly bad medical that's unknown to the public or he's facing a criminal trial that doesn't favor him being free for much longer. ...and even then, some team will make the pick.

This right here. Rivalries can happen later with more teams and higher stakes. Right now it's all about the best teams getting in, and St. Louis has been showing up and showing out for their team since day 1, McCarron is likely the league's best QB when healthy, and is a great story for the XFL to promote, but nah, he's gonna watch from home because the XFL had to overthink this crap.

Finally. Lousy son of a :censored: is out of the division and the conference and I have a couple games each year where I don't have to watch my team get punched in the sack. They'll get a HoFer at QB before long, whether it's Love or whoever, they'll not suffer for more than a year, if that.

The only way Houston loses is if Phillips' strategy is to let Cole McDonald yeet deep balls every play. Otherwise this one feels already decided, unless you're Ferdinand, who is currently holding a spot down on Cooper Street for the Renegades' championship parade.

Let's take a look at the Renegades season: barely beat the lousy Vipers at home (1-0) trounced by Houston (1-1) survived the mighty ass-tier Guardians at home by one point (2-1) blown out by St. Louis (2-2) survived a struggling San Antonio by a meager two points in a game fraught with bad play (3-2) got field goaled to death in an unimpressive rematch with SA the following week (3-3) smoked by Seattle (3-4) hung on to beat the then 1-6 Guardians by two (4-4) DC blew out Arlington for 3 quarters before pissing away the game, unfortunate luck in overtime, easily Arlington's best game, but a loss (4-5) Arlington limps to the finish with another loss against one of the worst QB'd teams in the league (4-6) Arlington is mediocre garbage, and should absolutely not be in the playoffs. St. Louis is one of the banner teams of the league and outplayed Arlington's sorry asses the entire season, yet the Renegades are going to waste everyone's time next weekend with their gruel-esque football. If they win the XFL title, I will buy Arlington championship merch and wear it to work out of shame.

Sea Dragons vs. Vipers: Seattle is arguably the funnest team in the league to watch. DiNucci is all over the place and hopefully he balls out against the Defenders in the playoffs. Glad they got in. Will ideally make for a wild, hopefully ratings-heavy playoff game. Defenders vs. Brahmas: Gutsy finale for the Brahmas with a fairly hot crowd cheering them on. Romo's miss at the end shouldn't tarnish what an excellent year he had and hopefully next season San Antonio builds on a solid showing. Guardians vs. Battlehawks: Orlando's finally found some cohesion late in the year and it makes for a rowdy first half, but McCarron was on another planet. It's a shame St. Louis isn't in the playoffs, but the cookie crumbled thus. Their fans reign supreme and despite a stupid-good offensive showing, they didn't meet the tiebreaker criteria. Roughnecks vs. Renegades: Houston is a dull, if not unspectacular squad with some ass-tier QB play but a stellar defense. The Renegades are, IMO, the most boring team in the XFL. They're basically the league's home team but they're so bland across the board. Roughnecks move along as they do, but it's so lame that we'll see a complete rerun of this game next week with likely the same result. Sea Dragons vs. Defenders is basically the XFL 2023 Championship Game, and I'm hoping the Sea Dragons pull it off. Defenders are a damned fine team, but no team was more exciting to watch than the SSDs. That said, what'll probably happen is it'll be DC vs. Houston for the title, it'll be Defenders by a landslide, and the ratings will be weak.

My interpretation of most members here when there's a new uniform release on the horizon:

Creme pants always costs extra.

Try to avoid going nuts on the AZ uniforms for now and utilize the assigned thread.

At least there's stroke on the numbers. The Jags couldn't get that one simple thing right.

The modern take would be that he was killed via friendly fire and his unfortunate death was covered up and rebranded to sell the NFL as the most American-y thing to ever American.

These are just…nothing. They’re just kinda clothes.

UNIFORM RUMOR

no, because that would take time and effort, and the Bidwells don't want to compensate anyone for such things oh, probably, but at this point we're hours away so who cares? inclusive yes some reddit guy, and probably no outer space

ANGRY SOUNDS INSULTS BARBS A POX UPON YOUR HOUSEHOLD IN THE NAME OF THE ARIZONA CARDINALS I STABBETH THEE

We can lock this bad boy up until tomorrow while the Cardinals stuff floods the website.

The other one will be temporarily locked after anything of actual substance comes out.

There, a new thread for you heathens.

Screw you guys, just release the goddamn uniforms.

AgentColon2: New threads? You've had the ability to make new threads this entire time? CS85: Uhhh yeah. We're in a message board!

Once there's something concrete out I will smackledorf a thread together.

Hey yo, up here man.

I feel so dumb. Only realized yesterday that saguaro is pronounced “sah-wahr-oh.”

@PaleVermilion81 coming out hard with the yawn. He knows more than he lets on.
