That would be much cooler. Still, the games yesterday were pretty good. I have enjoyed it Only 4 franchises from each former league survived the merger, but they could be reactivated later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Punter to center TD earlier game today was cool. Vinny Papale just scored a nice toe drag drag TD. Son of Eagles great Vincent Papale. Had no clue his son was a pro football player. CFL, Spring League and USFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 1 hour ago, Jerry Jabber said: 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. The same RT got ejected on that play for spitting on the opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 3 hours ago, Jerry Jabber said: 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?) Would be awesome if the NFL had the same system Based on this opening weekend, the merger seems to have been good for the quality of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I was amazed on number of older vets. I was expecting players who could not stick to regular roster trying to do what Kurt Warner did - use alternate leagues to increase his skill set - but not players in 30s.

Punching Bag Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Any official and unofficial attendance figures? I am expecting XFL to cite ticket sales but many may not be used as has happened in past in alternate leagues. Cameras by broadcasters appeared to avoid showing sections of stadiums with few fans but I only saw FOX since I do not pay for ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis had huge numbers last year. Wait until their home opener. But UFL aren't going to go above 20K on average. Ever watch Tuesday/Wednesday MACtion college games on ESPN? Most nights they barely have a hundred people in the stands. Edited April 1 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Wade Phillips does it again. His Brahmas outscore Memphis 20-3 in the 4th, including scoring 2 TDs (12pts) in the final :48 seconds to win 20-19 and improve to 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
