The XFL will last

[Hank Kingsley]

Like every Cowboy season?

I guess.

Don't need spring football, especially shitty spring football.

There is some truth to that. The NCAAF works better for organic fanfare. It's much easier to root & have more pride for a team that you have history & personal experience with. Whether you went to college there or its simply a hometown (localized) team... And it also works as a perfect compliment to the NFL.

The XFL, even if its after the NFL season, won't ever be viewed as a compliment so long as the talent remains in the NFL. No matter how enjoyable it may appear, one thing will always win out - talent. Right now the talent just simply isn't there for the XFL. Relative to whats on the field some players will certainly stand out but its still a limited product. And with the dilution of the team markets (Texas (Dallas/Houston), NY, etc) it's hard to see the local fanfare going wild over it.

It was pretty solid yesterday.

I only watch NFL. No college, no CFL, no nothing.

I hope it dies a quick death.

If you don't watch it, why would you even care if it survives or not? That makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

There will be people that complain that it isn't as good/talented, as the NFL. Well duh! Neither is College football, or High School fooball.

Ed Zachary.

Not NFL. Never understood the college football fascination. Let alone highschool.

You don't know if it's shitty or not. It just started. Yesterdays two games were solid.

I'm not hear to make sense of it. I'll leave that up to the apologists.

I'm here to hope it dies a quick death.

I'm here to hope it dies a quick death.

Why would you care one way or the other, since it has no impact on you whatsoever? Hence it makes no sense.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I don't need to know. It isn't the same level. Ipso fatso I don't give a fig about it and hope it goes away quickly.

You're a weird dude Hank.


You're against Kaeps last chance, yet love him like a son.

I'm also not here to waste my time on the XFL....

 

[NEPatsfan]

I'm also not here to waste my time on the XFL....

And yet here you are. Odd.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I wouldn't see him play there if he did.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

And yet here you are. Odd.

No. odd is liking sub par football.

it makes total sense, if you're under the assumption that he's a complete weirdo

 

[Cedrique]

That and being the son of an NFL journeyman reciever of 16 years.

Yeah, once you've watched pro sports for about 30 years and seen a couple generations cycle through you notice that it probably does help some of these guys who grow up around it. I'm sure McCaffrey gets some of his toughness from watching his father stick it out for 13 years.
Baseball even more so, maybe because major leaguers have enough money to send their kids to all the baseball camps and stuff. Just off the top of my head I can think of a bunch of players sons that ended up major leaguers. Bonds,Griffey,the Boones, the Alomars,Vlad Jr, Biggio. And I still think of Patrick Mahomes as Pat Mahomes's son.

 

[broncosmitty]

So strange.


Did you hate the AFL too?


HS football? Playing catch in the back yard?

 

[NEPatsfan]

No. odd is liking sub par football.

Bing! You're still here.


Again, if you don't care, why do you care? That is fucking weird.

Very true. Austin was groomed for football his entire life. He has another son that was groomed to play football too. Not sure how he is doing.

Agreed. I enjoyed it. I think the realization will set in at some point though. For now I'll keep watching.

Fair enough.

I'm hoping it keeps up with yesterdays games. Would love to have something like this to watch after the Superbowl, to kill the time until the Stanely Cup playoffs start.

lol, Arena football was fun, though it played more like a basketball game...
