XFL

So I've watched all 4 of the week 1 games and I gotta say it's not bad. The players and everyone else are having week 1 of the NFL pre-season hiccups, but I fully expect that by week 6 or so the teams will have their shit figured out and playing like well-oiled machines just like in mid-season in the NFL, and the games will be pretty damned good.

The transparency in of the review process is fantastic. NFL needs to do this ASAP. I also appreciate the commentators explaining the quarterback calls as they're made so you can get an idea of what they ought to be attempting to do before they hike the ball.

I could take or leave the player interviews post play, but it's kind of interesting.

I actually hope this incarnation of the XFL gains traction with attendance as well as TV audiences because this is legit football, and it's worth watching especially seeing as it starts after the NFL's superbowl.

Vince might just have something with this.

I watched a few games over the weekend and enjoyed what I saw. It's of course not as good as the NFL but it's a fair alternative on the NFL offseason. I'll voice some of my thoughts when I respond to a few quotes.

So I see the XFL already had it's first firing. Pepper Johnson, whom of course played on the defense of Bill Parcells' Giants with Lawrence Taylor, was let go as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Wildcats.
