It's just nice to watch a pro football without ten million flags being thrown randomly.

It's why I'm humoring this league. Don't have to worry about roughing the passer calls being terrible and inconsistent often.
rustic ore
There was a roughing call I'd say was borderline earlier
But outside of that I don't think this was a half bad 1st game
dim kettle
That was roughing in general though. It's not like a defensive player is getting called just because he happened to land on the QB with his body.

I guess it is all teams from the sound of it if they're having a 3 week playoff schedule

The playoffs will follow a 10-week regular season where teams play their division opponents twice and the teams from the opposite division once. The top two teams from each division will then face off for a third time, with the team with the better record likely hosting the game in their stadium.

Feel like they're building Jey to turn on Roman in the Mania match. Like the Usos would lose the titles earlier and then that happens.
That's one thing they did well. If there's one thing this build up did was give me a little bit of hope Sami would win thanks to also having Cody involve in this. You can't have Cody lose at Mania, it'd make little sense.

I am super curious though what would've happened if Cody hadn't gotten hurt last year, cause I think he was being positioned to win MOTB, and if he had I wonder if they would've done him vs Roman at Summerslam instead of Roman vs Brock for the 1000th time

Michael Jordan when looking at his team
dim kettle
Before changing it back to the hornets
You know the most confusing part is the current Hornets also own the 90s Charlotte Hornets history and stats while the Pelicans own the NO Hornet history.
rustic ore
Very odd
I like how there was a football team called the St Louis Cardinals until they moved to Arizona and became the Phoenix (and later Arizona) Cardinals, this long after there was already an established baseball team called the St. Louis Cardinals
Though I suppose tbf the team that is now the Arizona Cardinals started as the Racine Cardinals before becoming the Chicago Cardinals
dim kettle
I mean, the NY Giants came when the NY baseball Giants were still there.
Used to be a common thing to happen back then.
San Antonio keep taking penalties

Yeah its very odd

Can’t have unique names i guess

I’m afraid of cats, no way I would go near that cat and tame them

It's weird how Baltimore doesn't own the history of the OG Browns when they were the OG Browns until Art Modell moved the team from Cleveland to Baltimore, instead the Browns 2.0 own the history of the OG Browns
dim kettle
Art gave the history of Cleveland when they moved to Baltimore
rustic ore
Ah
It would've been cool if the Adams family gave the history of the Oilers over to the McNairs when the Texans franchise came to be in 2002, then maybe we could've had the Oilers be a thing again. Though having 2 teams that wear powder blue and white as their mains might have been confusing
dim kettle
The Texans were trying to use the Oiler name when they were starting but Bud Adams was a petty asshole
short flame
The Texans were trying to use the Oiler name when they were starting but Bud Ada...
Thank god
There’s already an oily team out there
dim kettle
BTW the Houston Oilers came before the Edmonton Oilers
short flame
Can’t allow two teams with the same name
By the way there’s a team called the saint Hubert jets that play 5 minutes away from my house
simple seal
My fav thing is that the Rockets were named like that before being in Houston lol
short flame
Any team that copied us should disappear
short flame
My fav thing is that the Rockets were named like that before being in Houston lo...
Oh no is there a team called the rockets in Houston?
rustic ore
The Rockets started out in San Diego some reason before moving to Houston
simple seal
Yeah
dim kettle
San Diego really had no luck with NBA teams
rustic ore
Rocket makes way more sense in Houston because of NASA than it ever did in San Diego
dim kettle
It's like the Clippers now. They're called the Clippers because of the boats in San Diego.
simple seal
idk why they just didnt change the name
rustic ore
Hot damn what a throw
simple seal
Then again I dont see many lakes in LA either
dim kettle

simple seal

rustic ore
Didn't the Lakers start out in Minnesota?
dim kettle
Yep.
simple seal
Yeah
celest zephyr

We are just thinking abut why they didnt change the names

Predicted sofi stadium

Also the Dodgers. You aren't dodging trolleys in LA

Like the Senators becoming the Twins when moving to Minnesota-St. Paul

Or the Expos becoming the Nationals

Would explain why the Vikings copied the color scheme then, purple, yellow, and white and what not
dim kettle
Senators becoming the Texas Rangers
simple seal
Lakers were already in LA by then I think

dim kettle

In the mid 1960s is when they changed to purple and gold
rustic ore
And these are just the nuggets
short flame
Sorry for the inconvenience
rustic ore
The Nuggets had like ten million unis in the past though.
You weren't kidding, these are nuts to look at
Like wtf is this?
dim kettle
They're the Vancouver Canucks of the NBA when it comes to lack of a true identity in unis

Not sure if this was just lighting but
Dude Reebok hit this re-design out of the part imo

I’m afraid of cats, no way I would go near that cat and tame them
cats are the best man
rustic ore
Eww, Adidas what did you do?
Leave it to Nike to make a bad design worse
Why would you ever kill the Powder blue?
rustic ore
Disgusting
dim kettle
Really though, Nike has ruined NBA unis. I don't even know what the Magic's primary uni is anymore
short flame
cats are the best man
I’m allergic to cats, and it scares me that they’re just left outside to wander with no leashes and ready to attack and there’s nothing I can do if I see one

Big run

Late but I agree

Battlehawks OL
sweet tree
can it be Thursday already
dim kettle
Really have no faith in this offense. It's a total joke rn
dim kettle
Would be nice if AJ could actually throw a football and the OL could actually block.
Like, there's probably a good reason why he isn't on a NFL roster rn
dim kettle
St Louis can't have any breaks rn. lol
Really I go from one inept offense in the NFL to another inept one in the XFL. Fitting.
rustic ore
Big run by St. Louis
robust grotto

Lol, missed FG
rustic ore
That's awesome, over 20k fans and they just did a giant wave

That's awesome, over 20k fans and they just did a giant wave
The Hawks might as well ride that wave out of here at this rate.

Oh wow, Josh Gordon is on the Sea Dragons

Most accurate Romo in Texas football

Also holy crap what a catch

Hey, a TD. At least I can see that
rustic ore
It's good!
15-12 SA
And STL is going for the 4th and 15 to try and maintain possession
rustic ore
Roughing on SA
Nice screen

robust grotto
Are you fucking kidding me
rustic ore
STL going for 1
dim kettle
Yeah, baby
rustic ore
This is fun
Great catch by Proehl, focused on the catch even though he knew he'd get lit up
12 seconds left for SA to at least try a game tying FG
Sack!
Ball game
Wow, what an ending
rustic ore
Like I can't even meme on SA for a choke, the XFL purposely designs the games to give you as many chances to score and get the ball back if you're trailing as possible
dim kettle
What a first game for me. I'm shaking.
rustic ore
Honestly, short of another world wide pandemic (please God no) there's no reason the XFL can't succeed as a spring league

Don’t tell me you picked suffering again
Aye man one day at a time

AJ emotional in the post game interview, good for him
dim kettle
Can't even say they choked. The Hawks just played up to the XFL rules
AJ really went from shit to GOAT in under 2 minutes.
rustic ore
Can't even say they choked. The Hawks just played up to the XFL rules
Exactly my thoughts

Just a good XFL game

You think he can win this season with rcr?
dim kettle
I don't expect him to win restrictor plate races ever.
dim kettle
You think he can win this season with rcr?
Kyle is always gonna have the chance to win no matter the team. I'm just glad he's out of a Toyota. They've sucked the last few years.

Game time

I can't even watch the whole game, I'll watch the draft and maybe the first quarter then I have to go to sleep
