I noticed that too. It’s a family business for that punter, actually.

[L,TOWM]

I think they have the proper formula — sort of wondering why they put some teams where they did,though — I do think that the AAFL had a workable formula too, before their late investor screwed them over last year.

There are so many competing content delivery dervices out there that the traditional ones are certainly willing to pay decent money for any football content, since it can give them a better audience than even “big” baseball games do these days.

Then you’d better get well soon! That’s some good Irish whisky, though! :-D

Re: Bend, I wouldn't root for a California team... if Impy's life depended on it.

I am not you, Big! I am your evil twin... frig'o_freeper--

Gadzooks-- Everyone who is anyone... knows that.

Now, just don't... turn your back on old Frig--

Yeah-- I once... turned my back on old Frig--

AND "Boy oh boy!" I did not get... any respect from him!

No respect... at all!

Well, Old Frig respected me, twice... and I LOVED IT!

Yes, he... DID!!!

REPORT: The XFL has already sold more tickets to games in it’s first week than the AAF did in its entire season.

[Impy]

It’s trending on twitter as well.

[COBOL2Java]

Yep, thanks

[al_c]

Yep!

[big'ol_freeper]

They could work on their uniforms a bit.

[cornfedcowboy]

I like the new kick off return rule. Makes some sense.

[trisham]

:)

[dynachrome]

Extra points should be more fun, too.

[big'ol_freeper]

Well Bend, some things never change. Like my boys beating your boys.

Your boys do have a good kicking game though

[Bender2]

Bob? Bob... Bob?

What... happened?

[big'ol_freeper]

Bob is good at handin' Texas teams losses

[Bender2]

Big, you had:

St. Louis over Dallas
umm...DC over Seattle
Houston over LA (keeps the theme going)
Tampa Bay over Meow York (is Manning their QB?)

That makes you 3 & 1--

Tied with me as I picked the same except for my picking Dallas over your Battlebyrds--

Imp, I see you had:
Seattle
Tampa Bay
Houston
St. Louis
making you 2 - 2

L,TOWM went for DC. Houston, NY & Dallas for a tie with me and Big at 3 - 1

RedMonqey went with Seattle, LA, NY & Dallas to go 3 - 1 for a share of the lead

Cletus.D.Yokel went Seattle, Houston, NY & Dallas to go 2 - 2

Last Year's World Champion NFL Picker Enterprise went Seattle, Houston, Tampa & Dallas to end up 1 - 3

I cannot do the counting as the season goes on I have more medical stuff going on, but this week I got all that picked all four games.

So, Big, I see from the schedule that the only time my Boys will get a chance for revenge on your Byrds is if both of us reach the Championship of the whole megillah April 26th--

See ya... there!

Next week I'm picking Meow York over DC--

Seattle over Tampa--

My Renegades over them LA Wussiecats--

And lastly, My Baby Oilers over Big's Byrdboys--

Y'all all take care!

[RedMonqey]

"RedMonqey went with Seattle, LA, NY & Dallas to go 3 - 1 for a share of the lead"

Great but what's truly pathetic about my picks is I haven't watched a single XFL game... ever. Yet my picks this week beat my NFL picks, of which I have watched for over forty years.

BTW. Stay strong, Bender2. Stay strong

[big'ol_freeper]

For week two

NY over DC
Seattle over TB
Dallas over LA
St Louis over Houston
