They played the Oklahoma Outlaws, who were quarterbacked by Doug Williams They were giving t-shirts to the first 10,000 fans. At halftime they announced that next week they'd be giving t-shirts to the first 8,000 fans. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I had the game on and didn't see the lemon incident...that was beautiful! That is what this league needs, just a little rowdiness to separate itself from the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) The ratings are worse than the brief time they were in 2020. XFL 3.0 maybe heading to the dustbin. Depends on what Rock and his partner are looking for. Edited February 22, 2023 by 88Comrade2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 It was week 1, it wasn't really advertised well, and people are skeptical of spring football. The games and show itself were entertaining. All four games last weekend. I'll definitely be watching tonight, too. I had a lot of fun with it. People need to watch it themselves and get a feeling for it before "lol'ing" it away. I'm usually quiet on social media but some friends who weren't watching it were dogging it and I chimed in and explained what the games were like. Got them to tune in. They enjoyed it. Word of mouth and positive stories and exposure will do wonders for the league. It's far from heading to the dustbin. Not yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Going back to the usual things I harp on, I think for a sport that requires strong viewership to pay for it, it needs to be on broadcast television. Win over the fans, then maybe they'll follow it to cable and streaming services. The 2 games I saw last weekend weren't spectacular, but they were interesting. The next game I'll be able to see without needing to jump through hoops will be on March 26th. The only time they'll show the local team (DC) is on April 22nd. I wish it the best, but for a league that needs to win over a new fanbase in a short amount of time, they're doing it the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Ta’amu has looked like hot garbage last week and so far. D’Eriq King may see the field… But Ta’amu’s legs are such a weapon. His confidence is shot. He needs to get it back. If he does he’s the most talented QB in the league. Edited February 26, 2023 by KDawg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Defenders are going to be 2-0. That qb who started the game can't seem to get anything right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I've been skimming the internet for Defenders gear to purchase. Everybody in DC should get some, I live in Tennessee but I might get a shirt or hat or something. One site even has jerseys with player names on them that I've never heard of lol.

Professor_Nutter_Butter Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Really want this league to succeed, but I think I kind of give it two seasons tops. Also, Defenders gear and low key kinda Battlehawks gear are both decent. Also again, glad to see another Tennessee guy's here. @SkinsFTW Edited February 28, 2023 by Professor_Nutter_Butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Seattle's defense just had a major blown coverage for a TD that reminds me of the Hazlett years with Shanahan. Coincidentally, Hazlett is their coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
