I had to work. My boss made me because he went to that game.

I was at that game.

What's your opinion of people who watch college games because they like to scout prospective talent? Well considering how many XFL/USFL players get NFL camp invites the same appeal applies.

He agreed to join the Pats PS then changed his mind. https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/09/20/patriots-qb-matt-corral-practice-squad-saga-strange-turn/

They don't want the added CTE liability.

They play at 2pm while the Bills are playing at 1pm. Who made that decision?

I didn't bother with Sunday Ticket because the Bills will not be on a national game or local TV (Boston) just twice this season. This is one of those games.

I also like how ALL officials, even replay people, are miked as well. You hear all the discussions.

Close the lid.

I feel like most folks don't know the financials of both leagues. They are both supported by TV networks. XFL by ESPN, USFL by Fox and NBC. Attendance is what it is, but TV ratings were good enough to keep going. Don't forget gambling revenue too. Like I said before, over 100 players were brought into NFL camps this year. Even the Bills have (I think) 2 on the PS now. It's doing what it's supposed to do.

Read the thread and see how may times someone wants the NFL to have a minor league, which will never happen.

For those who want the NFL to adopt the league, keep in mind the NFL doesn't want any more exposure to CTE lawsuits. So they are happy to maintain an arm's length relationship with both leagues. They already work with both to train officials. The best part of the XFL, I thought, was the full transparency on officials calls and reviews. All refs were miked up as was the replay booth.

How is it not working? There are over 100 XFL and USFL players invited into NFL camps this year. And who cares if they are 2nd or 3rd time guys? Isn't the point of spring ball to work on your skills so you get another look? I'll never understand why some people get so angry over spring football.

I hope they use more XFL rules.

That sack was sad.

Is this also the GDT for NO/CAR too?

What if you don't pay for cable or streaming, and watch TV (gasp) over the air?

LOL, all those prospects were traded away by Tim Murray. Except for Brandon Hagel. Jason Botterill wasn't impressed and let him walk. I wonder how he's doing now? Oh, and this....

Trust us. This team is about to emerge. Young but super talented.

WTF are taking about? Almost every good player on the Sabres now is home grown! I have to ask. We're you in a coma last season?

Props to Jimmy for the perfect throw.

That went well.
