Steptide Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I can say already I hate having the coaches and players mic'd up live. I like the mystery of the play. I don't need to hear the coaches and players talking to one another on a drive. After the fact is fine, but during is kind of dumb imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I laughed in pre game when they said Cardale Jones May be the face of the league, but it makes sense.

zow2 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I like the kickoff thing. It will eliminate dumb Offside and blocks in the back too. It’s easy for the guys to stay still because they can all see when the opponent touches the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first go round the XFL was a response to the NFL's actions to make the game less violent, eliminate celebrations, and a move away from controversial rule changes. this time around the value prop seems to be different rules and a 2 hour game. The current iteration of the XFL offers solutions to non-existent problems. Of all the NFL rules, no one gives a ***** about the PAT. No one is asking for 2 forward passes. No one is asking for shorter time spent in front of the TV and less time at a bar away from their wife and kids. So less talent, teams with no history, and slightly different rules? Sign me up. They aren't even attempting to lure players away from the NFL so I doubt the long-term plan is to compete. Is this purely a financial play to bank on insatiable demand for football 12 months a year? I would think best case scenario is they get adopted as the NFL development league or farm system. What am I missing? end game for anything mcmahon does is to make money for mcmahon. Ideally, make money and earn accolades along with it. best way to do that you already alluded to - become a viable “G League” for the NFL that people will watch and strike up the consequent partnerships with the NFL.
