XFL
    #26476546 - 02/09/20 08:20 AM (4 years, 8 days ago)

Sooo apparently theres a new football league with some slight changes that seem to make the game more fast paced, like backyard football. Moar trick plays and such.

it looks neat... I hope they can cultivate some new talent and people tune in.

We all know the NFL sucks.  With the scandals, terrible calls, business practices, and culture. It seems like a great time to have an alternative football league and I have been hoping for this recently.

The only real difference are the rules when it comes to kicking and PAT. If you dont kick the ball past the 20 the other team starts at your 45. Both teams line up at the 35 and can only engage when the returner grabs the ball. I think it needs to be tweaked, but i like it. It keeps the scores high and kick offs are more exciting. I dont like teams being up against the endzone every turnover, but if the defense is good they can make it happen.

I think I might see a game when the weather gets good.


Quote:

eight teams, centrally owned and operated by the league (as opposed to the franchise model, with each team having different ownership groups) and spread across the United States in markets currently or recently represented by a National Football League (NFL) franchise, competing in a ten-game season and a two-week postseason in the winter and spring months

The xfl was around before but they disappeared because they didn't have as good of players and they did some weird stuff to make it more like wrestling. It is run and owned by the WWE. I'm curious to see how it does this time around but I think it'll probably be seen as not legitimate by real football fans again.

I've got bad news for you, Youtube comments are about the least reliable comments on the entire internet.

Facebook was fine, then they opened it up to people who weren't college students and it went down hill fast. For those first two years it was glorious. Now it's a bottomless cess pool.

Youtube has always been bottom of the bucket.

The only thing worse than those two are the comments at the bottom of local news articles. Absolutely atrocious garbage there.

All of that said, the NFL is lame and watching a game is like a four hour process, so I hardly ever do it. If they could condense the games into to something that wasn't just three hours of commercials I'd probably be more inclined to watch.

Both always sucked. Facebook shit the bed when old people joined. It was never supposed to be a media platform, just a place for boring chat personal updates.

But at least youtube comments are about shit that actually happened not fake articles. The like ratio means a lot. YT comments arent taken as seriously either so people can say what they feel.

As for the the comments at the bottom of 'real news'... That's kinda important. There should be intelligent discourse but theyll never allow that to develop cause they need to control narratives.

Would be a neat social media app tho. A site that tracks news and culls whats fake, then leaves it in a forum.

If you go to the website for one of your local news agencies and then read the comments you will end up with internet AIDS.

Where you member of Facebook when it was university students only? It kicked ass back then.

yeah the winklevosses' had a hell of an app

And i think this league will have enough momentum to hold viewership throughout the season. It seems like most players were from the NFL.

I seem to remember the recliners in the in-zones.  They did not take it seriously at all.

they had a season in 2001 but this is completely different

Ironically, this is supposed to be a conscious answer to gripes with the NFL, yet its still owned by mcmahon

I've checked out all three games highlights so far. And it seems pretty normal, but there is times that I'm wondering if this is Vince McMahon rigging the games like he does with pro wrestling.

it seems hard to rig, seeing how transparent all the interactions are between plays.

like i said they have cams in the review booth
