PromoTheRobot Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Curious. Why are they showing a replay of last night's game? Oh. This is why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDubya76 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m excited for Houston. After all this time they finally got a professional team after the Oilers left. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 My favorite part about this so far is the idiots on Twitter not understanding that lightning exists, and that domes are beyond the budget of a smaller startup league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Is anyone annoyed listening to the noise of the drone during the play? Makes it sound like the players are mechanized. Very strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say rain impacted the anticipated attendance. 1 minute ago, Logic said: The games seem so much longer when the quality of play on the field is poorer. Like….there’s three more quarters of this?!

KingBoots8 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Honestly enjoying this game - it’s not NFL but it’s still pretty fun. I’m rooting for Houston because of Jimbo’s days there and they seem to have a decent team out there. QB just threaded a beautiful TD pass over 2 defenders while under pressure. if you go into it expecting the NFL you’re gonna hate it, but if you can just sit and enjoy the game for what it is you’re probably gonna like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Paxton Lynch was a 1st rd NFL pick and he can't even play well enough for the USFL. Oy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Jason Garrett saying Paxton Lynch has a lot of the same skills that Josh Allen does. That tells me one of two things. 1- They'll say anything to make people believe these players have a legitimate shot at making the NFL and it's a quality product. 2- Jason Garrett really believes that and it is no wonder he is no longer employed by an NFL team.

It made me a tad bit more excited to root for the Gamblers. I'm not watching this league to root for a losing team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 What a terrible decision to play every game in the same stadium---and in Birmingham Alabama of all places. Those locals could drive down Route 20 to Tuscaloosa and watch far more future NFL players play Spring football. Nothing drives TV ratings better than tuning in to the same empty stadium for every game every week!! "The Rock" should focus back on oiling his way into those BabyGap T shirts between actions shots and run for the hills like Vince McMahon did before him...
