LeGOATski Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Most of these unis look pretty bad. I really wish Houston kept the Gamblers over the Roughnecks. They looked 200% better and had a less cheesy name. If they had, I would be rooting for them simply because they're cool and were Jim Kelly's team. Otherwise, I have no ties to these teams. Currently I'm partial to the DC Defenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 It's like watching 2 created teams in Madden play. Just nothing to grab my attention and pull me in. Lower skilled players and coaching staffs. Hard to gain any rooting interest. And the whole thing is headed by Dwayne Johnson who may just be the most oversaturated and over exposed celebrity in America. I'll be tuned in all weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Is the team name for Brahmas on Brahma, one of the major gods of Hinduism, or Brahma chickens or Brahma Beer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I like the fact that Memphis, San Antonio, Birmingham, and St.Louis are in this league. The idea of a spring league in smaller markets without an NFL team is great. Fan enthusiasm is important to me when trying to get into a new league. If I don’t see any interest in the stands, why should I be interested? It adds a human element that I find important. On the same note, I don’t understand why these leagues keep trying DC, Dallas, and Houston. Texas loves football, but those large markets aren’t going to care, they already have enough football to stay occupied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) partially owns the team and "the Brahma Bull" was one of his wrestling nicknames. Fun fact, the roster includes former Bill Marquez Stevenson. I remember many people thinking that he was going to be a hidden gem a couple of years ago. Edited March 30 by dgrochester55 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they (and he) are probably named after the American Brahman hybrid zebuine-taurine bull and its Sexual precocity. https://www.thecattlesite.com/breeds/beef/67/brahman Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) I found some of the games last year enjoyable that I watched, I'll keep checking it out if it's entertaining. I'll be honest this past year I never believed in the whole "sports is rigged" people who said this every year but the way the Chiefs just went from being average to barely making the playoffs and then some miraculous reason nobody could cover Kelce all over again just has me believing otherwise so this may be what I need to offset my thinking for awhile.

Idk about a conspiracy, but I do think the NFL gladly welcomes another dynasty besides the Pats, since so far there is no real scandal involving the Chiefs that might tarnish it. 7 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Very few people like spring "pro" football...so the poster was correct.

Every other team should just forfeit their games with DC immediately. 🤨 Everyone wants Gregg Williams on their staff. He's fighting off gratuitous offers and denying call after call. What a guy. In all seriousness, the DC team might be the most cohesive with all it's components: from staff to system to players to venue and fans. I think I'm rooting for them most, and part of the reason is because I hate the Commanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Currently watching the DC Defenders vs the San Antonio Brahmas. Wade Phillips is the Brahmas HC and Gregg Williams is the DC for the Defenders. Brahmas look decent, they had a nice trick play on a punt where the punter threw a 40yd TD pass. There are some things I like this league. You get to hear the refs and coaches talk a lot more. The Defenders HC was blasting his WR after a key drop. Coaches can challenge any play (don’t know how many challenges they get per game?) Edited March 31 by Jerry Jabber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Wade Phillips got a Defenders TD reversed by challenging a play, by which the RT moved early. TD was called back and the Defenders got a False Start penalty. Edited March 31 by Jerry Jabber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 At first I thought the entire XFL and the entire USFL combined to make a big league. That would be much cooler. Still, the games yesterday were pretty good. I have enjoyed it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
