Renegades unis looking like Titans.

I thought it was reminiscent too. Powder blue is making a strong resurgence in pro sports lol.

I like all the XFL uniforms though; the Dallas one looks particularly clean

They've already decided Dallas is the favorite to win the whole thing. Sounds so familiar.

I that’s because they have the most successful/well known coach with prior experience in Bob Stoops.

Geaux Battlehawks!!! Everyone hates Dallas, lol.

Noticed every home team has won week 1 thus far.

It is a XFL conspiracy, I tell ya. How is that possible, without it being preset by the commissioner? ?

 

[Super44]

That was an interesting interview with Troy Aikman. He seems to think the NFL will adopt some of the rules in the XFL. I hope he's right.

NO SHOT!!! Goodell and the owners are too above any semblance of being like the XFL in any way, shape, or form! Is he cray?

They're definitely trying to get female officials into the games. Seems like at least one in each crew I've seen. I like it. The one in the NFL has done a really good job. The officials in the XFL have been on point as far as I can tell.

The pace of the games have been great. Love the shorter playclock. I didn't think I'd be interested, but I've watched all four games this weekend. They've done a great job so far.

Need Sunday night games. Sunday night TV, this time of year is wide open for the XFL.

I think it’s best they stay in the afternoon at the moment.
If this does become successful, then let another network bid for a Sunday night game in a few years.

Have they released the TV ratings for yesterday’s games yet?

I'm pretty curious to the numbers as well. Their attendance has been pretty good. If they have some decent ratings, it could bode well for the near term. I'm definitely gonna continue watching.

Wow each winning team splits 100k on top of their salary each week.

Yeah I know not a lot in the world of sports, but a heckuva motivator.

Yep, and looks like Dallas will be the first home team to lose. Lol.

 

[Bespoke]

Dallas loses.

I like this league already.

 

[Poison]

Took St Louis at the line and bet the unders so I'm happy. Inconceivable to me that the bookmakers could give one team a +9.5 start when neither has ever played together before.

 

[gavinj]

Haha. Dallas and Tampa were supposed to be the 2 best teams and after week 1 they were clearly the worst 2 teams.

 

[Igordão]

Even ESPN Brazil is showing XFL games.

Can't be understated how valuable this TV exposure will be. Trying to watch the AAF in Australia was a nightmare - I could get one live game a week at an odd time on the NFL Network. ESPN Australia is showing all of the games live, all season long.
