    Collaborating with the NFL on health and player development will give it a better shot than any other start-up has had, IMO.

    See some guys that didnt make the CFL joining that league.
    Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Two pick sixes has Arlington up over Vegas 22-14 with about 4 minutes left.

    This Perez QB for the Vipers has been a starter in just about every alternate league there has been over the last three years.

    Re: 9 days until the XFL kicks off

    A few interesting quirks...

    On kickoffs the coverage and blockers line up across from each other at the receiving team's 30 yard line and none can move until the returner touches the ball.

    After a score late, instead of an onside kick the team behind can choose to possess the ball at their own 25 (?). Not sure of the exact rule but Vegas through an incomplete pass on first down so possession went oer to Arlington.

    On that last play the receiver was pasted and the ball dislodged, no discussion at all about roughing a defenseless player even though it looked like it might draw a flag in the NFL.

    The first score for Orlando (which I think was a horrible call by the refs on the field) was fun because they showed Blandino going through the review process and all of the replays he had access to.

    Good God. There's a game on now with ND QB Jack Coan vs. A.J. McCarron. It's 6-3 in the 3rd. LOL.
