I wonder how the ratings will be when March Madness comes around? Daytona 500 is another sporting event I wont miss out on. Also, I'm a lil biased on basketball, it's not a race issue, it's because when I was in gym class during high school, no matter where your are on the arc to shoot a FG, as long as you know the exact range and how hard of a throw you need to get the basketball to make it to the net, you can just keep making 3 pointers. And I always hear the play-by-play announcers gloat about how much a player is making all these FG's during a game, and realize how much of a farce that is!

GDAWG Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I believe Houston has their second home game today. Attendance there is going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Are the players unionized?

Hey, maybe Vince is having a bigger role behind the scenes than we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a healthy crowd to me, save for those sections in the open part of the end zone. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.

Glad they filled in, but for their sake I hope they get some more offense. I enjoy a defensive battle myself, but this league is being judged more harshly than ever and needs the high powered offense people are used to.

Furthermore, the XFL is kinda building its presentation around "unprecedented access" so the players are just gonna have to deal with it – or better yet, embrace it – if they want to have a professional league to play in outside the NFL.

The players would be smart to embrace it. Show some personality, maybe gain a following, and build a brand of sorts. Would be win/win for them and the league as it needs personalities and stars.

I think we have seen over the years the league will tolerate almost anything except for social justice protests. If said QB has a better season he might get a look. As far as this league goes, it has its first heel character in McGloin. Saw many people on twitter talk about how the drama held their viewership when the game turned into that blowout. Edit: 14,979 is the announced attendance in LA. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDR Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The XFL will only go as far as the QB play allows it to. So far it's been pretty hit or miss, but there are bright spots. Like Cardale Jones. And Josh Johnson hasn't been super accurate today, but he's still got a good arm. Less bright? Landry Jones. He has been terrible today. QB play by Tampa and Seattle has been awful, too. The league really needs PJ Walker and Jordan Ta'amu to build off their week 1s in the late game.
