I used to live in a condo a couple of blocks away from the San Diego stadium. Nice area. Stadium is old.

“There are no kickoffs.”

Good news. The most brutal injuries result from kickoff and punt returns.

Is there a league rule against kneeling?

IDK for this one but next year’s XFL has the rule about not kneeling.

As I recall, the old AFL was conceived as a major league football league, not a minor league. After the AFL Jets beat the NFL champs, it was not long before the leagues merged. So does the Alliance organization intend to stay a minor league or progress to an eventual merger with the NFL?

Ahahahaha. Those are great.

My fave is LANCASTER AMISH RAKEFIGHTERS.

Runner up the GERMANTOWN one (better not say it out loud).

😃

Most definitely the former.

The XFL is relaunching under Vince McMahon next year with an eye at competing directly with the NFL with big market teams.

The most exciting plays too.

The whole game is dangerous.

Fleet is also a brand of saline enema.

Well, that changes things.

Now I'm all about it.

I just can't stand team names that don't end with "S".

I already know who the best receiver on that team will be — DeMarcus Ayres. His dad shines shoes in the basement food court of the building I work in in Downtown Dallas. DeMarcus had a brief break from the practice squad to get into a couple of Steeler games in 2016.

I heard an interesting idea from Greg Schiano of all people...

After a score or to start the half, the team that scored or the one that is supposed to “kick-off” gets the ball on its own 35, with a 4th and 15 situation. In most cases, a team facing 4th down and 15 yards to go will punt and punts are safer than kick-offs from an injury standpoint.

If a team is desperate though... you go for it. That way, you can eliminate onside kicks, but have a mechanism for going right back on offense.

I’m interested. Why, I’m not sure but - I’ll give it a go for awhile.
