    In game 1 today, ok don't know some of the players.

    But coaches Jerry Glanville and Marc Tresman some real oldies.  Marc was Kosar's QB coach at the "U".

    Next Bob Stoops and Dallas.

    freaking glanville is a clown he stopped here for a few years to coach the portland state vikings

    I loved seeing Glanville, totally not expected. He pops up on screen, and I'm like "that looks like Glanville." Some of his Oiler teams were good.

    oh ya he did have some good teams left tickets for Elvis and drove his harley on the field but while here in P-Town he was just here to collect a check

  • Outside of a few teams with bad QB play, the XFL has been great. Already better than the AAF

    Well they figured out gimmicky didn't work. Oliver Luck impressed. 

  • Love me field goal games.

  • Seattle has allot of fans attending the game.

  • There was a discussion on the radio today that in the event that this XFL  expands before too long, that Cleveland.....or maybe even Canton, could get a team.  (The HOF stadium can handle 23K....enough for an XFL team).

    Then they speculated on names.

    If either Cleveland of Canton got a team, what would you call it?

    If Canton got an XFL  team I would go with the Bulldogs name for the history. I would love to see it happen.

    I guess we could update that name to the 21st century XFL...the Canton Mutant Ninja Bulldogs.?

    I was thinking it would be nice for Cleveland to have an XFL team but when Gip brought up Canton I like that even better with the football history of Canton.

    Here is another name you might like: 

    "The Canton Mikes" ?

  • The HOF stadium in Canton would be a perfect sized stadium for the XFL, but I just can't see them putting a team in that market. 

    Honestly, Columbus would probably get a team before Cleveland or Canton. They could play in the Columbus Crew new stadium.

    I agree Columbus would more  likely be the city to get an XFL team but Canton would be a sentimental favorite for me. I would love to see it happen for Canton but no doubt they would go for the larger Columbus market.

    Agreed, but IF Canton got a team & it was named the BULLDOGS, the stadium would be PACKED & this area would definitely support the Team. No other Pro team or major college program splitting interest. The official beer could be Thirsty Dog Brewery's "Old Leghumper"!!

  • A local XFL team would be sweet

    The games today were entertaining but many teams still suffer from bad QB play.

    I saw in week 1 most games drew about 17,000 (+/-) like a big high school or small college stadium.

    Funny but I forgot that the XFL was on this Saturday.

    They have tried this a few times before to have football after the NFL season is over and it never worked out. I think they are doing better this time around and I'm hoping this new XFL league makes it. 

  • FORBES -   https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexreimer/2020/02/12/for-xfl-week-2-ratings-will-matter-much-more-than-impressive-week-1/#37cdfd105987

    The XFL’s encouraging Week 1 ratings are not a guarantee of future success. In fact, there are already some troubling signs — despite the numbers’ shiny exterior.

    As expected, the revived XFL dominated sports programming last weekend, with three of its four games outdrawing every NBA and college basketball telecast from the previous week, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The publication reports the four affairs averaged 3.12 million viewers. That is an impressive figure, considering last year’s NBA playoffs averaged 3.95 million viewers heading into the Finals. An upstart football league with underwhelming talent is on the same ratings level as the NBA postseason. It speaks to our football obsession, and the power of curiosity.

    American Alliance Football, of course, also enjoyed ratings success in its first week last year. The two inaugural primetime contests on CBS averaged 2.9 million viewers, defeating the NBA’s competing offering of Rockets-Thunder.

    That success did not last. The AAF folded only eight weeks into its inaugural season due to financial difficulty, when chairman Tom Dundon — who also owns the Carolina Hurricanes and invested $250 million into the startup — reportedly couldn’t land a deal with the NFL Players’ Association........ continued in the link........

  • Last week the DC Defenders had 17,163 fans in attendance and that is very impressive when you consider the stadium holds 20,000 fans. This week the Defenders did not disappoint. Their defense was on point once again giving Matt McGloin problems all game.

    Audi Field is a soccer-specific stadium in Buzzard Point in Washington, D.C. It is the home stadium for the Major League Soccer team D.C. United as well as the DC Defenders of the XFL and seats 20,000 people.

    This week at Audi Field there were 15,031 in attendance.

    A lot of those fans must have dressed like empty seats, because the stands looked pretty barren. 

    I'm glad some of those teams are playing in smaller venues. It makes the games look more interesting, than to see them playing in huge, empty NFL stadiums.
