last season's NFL thread, that was a lot of fun. I've decided to start this thread as a general discussion for anything relating to American Football. Feel free to discuss anything related to the NFL, free agency, the draft, the new XFL league, college football, gambling, or whatever might be related to football.
I've had the XFL games on the TV while doing some work around the house, not paying close attention, but checking out the big plays. It's actually not bad at all. The players are mostly selected from those who barely didn't make it onto NFL teams' 53-man rosters. Some were on NFL practice squads as well. Many are definitely good athletes, and look like they could easily play in the NFL.
There are some different rules that make the games flow a bit faster, which means fewer commercials. They also allow three options for the extra-points try following a touchdown which are pretty interesting.
Overall, I think this one of the better attempts I've seen to compete with the NFL. Previous attempts to create a new pro-football league have largely failed because the quality of football wasn't there. If the new XFL teams can keep some decent players on their rosters, I think they might survive longer than one season, lol.
