The jerseys look like they got a volume discount on generic team A, from Wal-Mart. The helmets are ugly, but at least unique. But boring ass colors. [Reply]
Pretty solid. That's a lot better than ratings for many college games. The TV networks are not currently paying the XFL for broadcast rights, but that might change pretty soon if the ratings stay pretty solid (and possibly increase). [Reply]
Well there you go. I just don't understand the cities they picked. 3 out of the 5 top markets are middle America markets and yet st Louis is the only major middle America market. Two Ohio markets no doubt because of Cardale Jones. Once the novelty wears off the xfl is gonna wonder why they followed nfl markets instead of ncaa. Maybe they were blocked because of the AAF. But I just can't see many of these markets giving two shits about their team in a few weeks. [Reply]

I want to follow the LA team because it is the closest to me and I lived in California for 6 years, but Norm Chow was so bad as HC of Hawaii that I'm not sure I can do it. It would be for me like if Romeo Crennel was coaching a team. [Reply]
This has probably been mentioned already, but I watched most of all 4 games and the officiating was the best I've ever seen. Very few holding, hands to face, chop block, none of those. A couple of pass interference which were sort of obvious and the obvious off sides. When there was a review, it was quick and you hear the official in the booth as he talked with the ref on field, great job. I hope the NFL sits up and takes notices. Nothing worse then the NFL game when officials seem to flag every play, no momentum, home crowd can't get into the game, stopping and starting, the NFL Officiating is ruining the game. The XFL has Dean Blandino in charge of officials, he was always good when Fox asked for his opinion during NFL games. [Reply]
