>>154102430>As of today, April 1, 2026, the NFL Network has become an official ESPN property under a landmark $3 billion deal between the NFL and DisneyThat means we could eventually have LFA games on the NFL network
>>154102536We can hope. Though it seems that the vehicle the NFL has chosen for international expansion is flag football instead of regional leagues
>>154102967True, but they wouldnt need to do anything other than broadcast It.We have pro LFA female flag football wonder if the NFL Will do something like that soon
>>154103190The NFL is really gay so yeah they will televise the female flag football league instead of actual football and then act confused when no one watches it

This was such a classic SF Spaghettifest
>>154107242thats not kevin sumlin
>>154105461Who is this for?
Official attendance: 14,810. 4th highest non STL attendance in UFL history, beaten only by 2024 DC Defenders in weeks 2 (15,052) and 5 (16,058) and 2025 Michigan Panthers in week 10 (16,014)
>>154107282that's pretty good. hope it isn't a high water mark
>>154107328It will almost assuredly be a high water mark for the Aviators. 0-2 team with their first ever home opener, hard to increase the fans that show up unless Aidan Sayin gets put in and starts looking gr8. Rough guess says for this week though it's also the high mark. Orlando couldn't beat it last week in their home opener and attendance always falls on these back to backs. Houston is on Easter and also nobody gives a shit about Gambleneck football. And Dallas is on fucking Tuesday, good luck getting even 5k.
>>154107366Welcome back San Antonio
Just got home what a shitshow but it was fun and luckily avoided rain. Im happy i got to finally got to watch a game in person and what a spaghetti fest it was. It was as i thought the best seats i have ever had for a football game. Beer was limited to 25oz cans of budlight for $14. The scoreboard is complete ass it doesn't even have an indicator for timeouts remaining. The downtime for refball is terrible and we had no idea what was going on. There was a play where play stopped for over 2 minutes where refs were having a conference before even anouncing the play was under review and after another 2 minutes what i thought was being reviewed (potential interception but dual possession) ended up being something completely different. The audio for the halftime show was complete ass which is surprising because the stadium literally is made for concerts with a stage built in. I wanted to take a smoke break for halftime but they dont have a smoking area which made leaving at the start of the 4th an easy decision. Fun crowd i even started at give us sayin chant but ginn ignored it. Honestly even after getting bootyblasted the team seems decent minus the qb he has to go asap if they want this team to stay in columbus
Teams names should not be singular. Apollos > Storm
If you thought they were bad before

>8,585 in Orlando tonight
Missed all of the 4th quarter. Seems like I didn't miss much.
Fake leaker (that may not be fake) dropping in again.The league exists in a void where it just barely justifies itself. TV ratings are comparable to Nascar trucks or Xfinity. Not enough to kill it, but not successful. It is literally borderline, game to game lol.Mike Repole is cool and the sentiment overall is that we wish he was involved from the very start of this whole spring football wave. It's not that he's got some magic plan, he's just normal and reasonable. Also open to any idea so long as you make a good argument. I don't fear going into work.We're facing an uphill battle because we just can't get people to care or get asses in the seats. Football fans aren't stupid, they know it's a reject league with no stars and teams move or leagues fold every 1.5 seasons. Austin Reed is promising but we've learned our lesson (officially) from shilling Luis Perez that you can't just fabricate a star.There are three ideas on the drawing board.>21 point mercy rule. Game would automatically end and the winning team gets an extra point in the standings.>Celebrity coaches. We won't get Mr Beast but imagine Mr Beast calling offensive plays for a half and you can watch a special coach's feed on YouTube.>Sponsor teams. The teams with decent attendance stay, the rest are road-only teams sponsored by brands.
>>154120811I believe all of this except the mercy rule
>>154120811>>Celebrity coaches. We won't get Mr Beast but imagine Mr Beast calling offensive plays for a half and you can watch a special coach's feed on YouTube.>>Sponsor teams. The teams with decent attendance stay, the rest are road-only teams sponsored by brands.Oh god, these are awful. I really hope this is fake. Having celebrities call plays would officially kill and seriousness the League has and turn it into a joke. I'd stop watching if this happened. And sponsor teams would feel so artificial. The D.C. Defenders vs the Amazon Primers!
>>154120887The marketing tagline is "Every Down Matters" and it's a way to facilitate offense instead of these retarded 19-9 games that make everyone fall asleep.
I was thinking about buying No Bull shoes with the UFL code but holy fuck are those things ugly
New jap ranks just dropWeird they rank Mexicas so low given they are the current LFA champions
Mercy rule will probably get rolled out for Week 6 (halfway point of the season as a surprise rule change for the playoff race). If you don't see it, it's because TV executives are fearful.There was shall we say tangible asspain that none of the games so far have been particularly good and coaches are more than happy to play ticky tacky time of possession strategy. This is not compelling TV. Nobody wants to watch the Columbus whatevers exchange field goals with the Louisville something's.They want eight Austin Reed's, ideally, but only one of those exists so you artificially create more of them by saying "game ends at a 21 point lead" which suddenly impacts playcalling and could therefore manifest more Austin Reeds. I get the idea at least.There's also the desire to limit injuries that happen during garbage time. Everyone is trying to make it to the NFL but already more than a few careers have ended with random injuries during meaningless 3rd or 4th quarters where the game was already decided.Can't get injured during garbage time if there's no garbage time.
what's up with the tranime in the game thread? tranime isn't allowed on /nfl/
>>154121213God I love those japs
>>154121032>Oh god, these are awful. I really hope this is fake. Having celebrities call plays would officially kill and seriousness the League has and turn it into a joke. I'd stop watching if this happened. And sponsor teams would feel so artificial. The D.C. Defenders vs the Amazon Primers!The Green Bay Packers are a sponsor team (Indian Packing Company) and it was done in arena football with the Miami Hooters & LA Kiss.The celebrities I agree but it was explained that they'll try their best to have relevant celebs for cross promotion. Caitlin Clark was their "holy grail" and they had a Nascar guy as well.
>>154121032Of course it's fake, he's been pushing both of those for years. Still funny though.
I gave this league a shot last night and i'm gonna have to do a hard pass. This league has a big QB problem and the level of play is not to my standard.I'm going have to wait until august when real football aka the NFL startUFL is chicken shit minor league football
>>154124328Go Jets
Am I having another schizo meltdown or is this not that bad?
>>154124622It looks like the lower bowl will be decently filled but the upper bowl hasn't even opened for the most part

>>154127702im guessing college basketball or baseball is on regular espn?
IFL (arena football) starting on https://sports.yahoo.com/watch/ now if you are not watching the UFL game as well
Thank You Based Hoyland
>>154127702It got moved from ESPN because they changed time slots.
>hams lost this game
That was one of the worst, but also, somehow, one of the best games I've ever watched. Holy shit.
>>154129601That's what spring football is all about, man. Perfectly executed and well thought out gameplans are fine, but you know what's really cool? Stupid shit.
>Gamblers unironically living up to their name
That was a masterclass on why you should always save your super challenge for the end of the game and goddamn why can't ncaa and nfl refs be as good as the ufl
>>154129618
Hopefully that game puts more people in seats next time. Crowd couldn't have been more than 5k people.
>>154129637https://x.com/ByAnthonyMiller/status/20409582042810043187,744
>>154129617Pereira literally ACTIVATED IT because he didn't want the Gamblers to lose. It was bad.>>1541296377k sold, probably 4-5 actually there. And 2 after the first half.
>>154129631you should have also got the shot of him contemplating his life decisions before the time out
>>154129631soul
>>154129688the one where he made a face like this?
Great Attendance:>Louisville>St. Louis>Columbus>DC>Seattle>DetroitBad Attendance:>Dallas>Houston>Birmingham>Orlando>MemphisSo why do all of these Spring Leagues (especially the AAF and USFL) try to focus on the south when Spring Football has done so much better in the north?
>>154129763no income tax in texas and florida
I still don't understand how Dekkers got injured.
>>154129802Shoulder Injury. I don't think it was too bad, they probably just pulled him from the game to be safe. Honestly, it worked out for them, Henderson did good.
>>154129763Does Orlando qualify as bad? It's had good and bad attendance. It's the only one truly in the middle. Also the "bad" attendance of Dallas, Birmingham, and Orlando beat the shit out of the "great" attendance of Detroit.
UFGLthese 25-minute highlight videos crack me up, 75% is 4-yard runs or sideline passes and the rest is field goals attempted from the 5-yard line
>>154129810No, I know that, I just don't understand how. I've seen people walk off way worse. The play didn't look that bad, but I also only got that one quick replay they did. I'd have to see it again.
>>154129896No sport will ever have a 25 minute highlight video be worth it for a single game. That's like a season highlights vid.
>>154129763Midwest/North seems to do pretty well. I think its because the weather is getting good but there is nothing to do in many of those places this time of year. I would think Memphis would do pretty well being close to Louisville. Louisville only has USL to compete with though. Texas/Orlando there is too much shit to do. I don't know what's going on with Birmingham they have had a team for ages and there is no other shit going on.
>>154130042even if they cut out the replays it'd still be 13 minutes of meh desuI want to watch football year-round and keep giving this league a chance, but how the hell do they get the offenses untracked
>>154130096Offenses will start looking better probably next week, if history is anything to go off of. The first two weeks of XFL, USFL, and UFL have been bad since 2022. If they had another week or two of practice and a preseason game(against a LFA team maybe?) would do wonders.
>>154130162pre-season against an LFA team is a really good idea
>>154130162LFA teams playing in Dallas or Houston would be kino
Ridiculous game. How many fucking 4th down penalties were there in the 4th? I could not stop laughing
God I love this retarded spaghetti league
Nathan Rourke, CFL MVP and student of the game
>>154130162>a preseason game(against a LFA team maybe?)Unfortunately, that is EXTREMELY soul and so will never happen
>>154129763A combination of guaranteed good weather, taxes, stadium rental fees, and volume of football fans. They know there's no such thing as a diehard Dallas Renegades fan, but the weather is usually nice and there's enough of football fans in Dallas that some of them *might* show up.Same thing powers CFL attendance. There are very few CFL diehards (pay attention to social media metrics and it's laughable) but what they do have a lot of is people wanting to spend $20 to see football on a comfy july or august night. That plus the deal with TSN is enough to justify the league's existence.
>>154130448Is he athletic enough to play olympic tag?
>>154130162>>154130183>>154130264>>154130507LFA has the same problem, a slow season start and no pre-season games, both would benefit from having a couple of exhibition matches to develope some timming
>>154130096>>154130162>>154130183>>154130264>>154130507>>154134035In my infinite autism, here's a spreadsheet with average scores in each league by year and week.

Boates :(
>>154096643Reminder LFA kicksoff this thursday 9pm México Time (8 weet cosas, 11 east coast), not sure yet if theres going to be available streams in the USIt would be dope because seems like this season there wont be much calendar overlap with UFL
Let him know guys
>>154135879I don't want to sign up for Xitter just to tell Repole that nobody wants to watch him on camera.
>>154135879lol how many comments were "less interviews involving you"?
>>154136275A few, mostly it’s just people dunking on ESPNs presentation and praising FOX. One guy said that they should take in CFB players who didn’t get a team in the transfer portal which I thought was interesting.
no foobaww today :(
>>154136980tomorrow though :)
Please humour a tourist here. What did I miss from the first 2 weeks and what are the most recognizable names that are playing. Ta
>>154096643The UFL will die after this season. They chose fucking Orlando and Louisville over NYC and Seattle
>>154129688
>>154137298Technically still 1 game left this week. Most recognizable names are probably KJ Hamler, Matt Corral, John Ross, and DeAndre Baker.
>>154137322This shit league will fold because they took away my Vipies! We would've sold out the stadium if they just gave us another year!
>>154137390
>>154137405ThxLets see the cities>OrlandoGood. The Pollos were the unofficial winners of the USFL>DallasWHYSt Louis.>Based. Maybe the city that deserves it the most next to SD>DCPeople loved them here last week bt WHY>BirminghamI liked the IRON more>HoustonMeh, better case for it than Dallas>LouisvilleBased>ColumbusThis might be my favourite franchise this year
>>154137512Pollos were AAFDallas because that's where the league hq isDC supports their team, 2nd most in the league
>>154137627>AAFCorrect, sorry, I still check for BOATS merch from time to timeI forgot that part about the fendies, now I remember why they were supported here. Valid reason
>Hakeem alivepeople were saying he wasn't going to be a big part of the game plan last week and they wanted another D end to chase temu
>>154137800I just hope he isn't being a diva and isn't washed
>>154138126he is the ultimate scrub DB killer, he'll be good in the league for as long as he wants to play
>>154137322Part of the fun of spring leagues Is that you never know if this season Is the last seasonAlso i would stick to smaller markets with less of a competition both in sports and Entertainment options in general
>>154137322Louisville has been a solid choice so far. albeit a very small sample size
>only one Game actually in ESPN all the test on disney +And not only this week, all season goes on disney, fuck this guys, muy sister has a subscription ill ask her to share it
>>154138994Super gay. Fuck Disney
>>154138994aren't they the same company? why even do that

Two short bongs until we find out which is a bigger fraud, the STL Defense or the DAL Offense. My money is on the defense.
>>154146186I think Dallas beat up on a bad Houston team
>>154096643Who’s here?
>>154146643Hadnt seen you in a while friend
>>154142366
UFL teams might play more games on real grass that NFL teams
>>154146731I swear this league only cares about tv money. Why are we doing a Tuesday night game?Missed last week for something else.
*drum sounds*
>>154146833i think STL is the only team that doesn't play on real grass. and even then it's state of the art turf system
Gades only got 7 offensive linemen….
>>154146643Holy shit the return
>>154147082I’ve been here, just didn’t have my trip.Also Billy is here!Also the Asian troon is here too.
>>154147111Hope you nogs have a decent turnout. Not expecting much because Tuesday night, but maybe the practically free beer gets a certain crowd.
>>154147119They sent me an email saying that I could bring 4 frens for free. Too bad that I don’t have any frens.
>>154147130i feel this to my core
Game thread>>154147286>>154147286>>154147286
>>154147289At least the defense is still looking decent.
this was cool at the very least
>>154149873How this game was simultaneously closer and not as close as the final score is beyond me, but it's true.
>>154149873>the db trying to hit the balljej
you can only here if your team is 2-0
>won't lose to fendies in conference final this season>won't even be in itdifferent kind of relief
So, are the Gaydes legit?
>>154152383The complete lack of a run game is going to catch up with them at some point. If they're lucky it's week 6 or 7 instead of the playoffs.
Reed going to be in the NFL next year if he gets like 5% better.
Hawkies :(
Please no more Tuesday games
>>154153957Good news anon, no more Tuesday games. This year at least.
Please more Tuesday night games
>>154155735Bad news anon, no more Tuesday games. This year at least.

No foobaw today, but soem fútbol instead Wil try to get some link tonight to share with yall
>>154162515Honestly a decent choice. I'm surprised.
>>154162515Wonder if they’ll announce #10
>>154096767UFL Week 3>Friday 4/10Orlando Storm (2-0) @ Louisville Kings (0-2) 8:00 EDT on Fox>Saturday 4/11Houston Gamblers (1-1) @ DC Defenders (1-1) 12:00 EDT on ESPN>Sunday 4/12Columbus Aviators (0-2) @ Dallas Renegades (2-) 12:00 EDT on ABCBirmingham Stallions (1-1) @ St. Louis Battlehawks (1-1) 3:00 EDT on ABC
>>154162518>Wil try to get some link tonight to share with yallAppreciate it, Mexbro. Having it on youtube was super convenient.
>>154162555Probably once they finalize it. They did announce it as expansion specifically.
>>154162515the website says to locate new team. does that mean moving a team in a couple years or a new team?
>>154165550It's a new team, they've already confirmed expansion to 10 is 2028 season. Presumably they're eyeing another 2 by the 2030 season. 12 is going to be a real sweet spot for this league scheduling wise if they can make it. You either play every team but 1 once, or you play every team in your division twice.
>>154165668they only play 10 games isn't 10 the sweet spot? Adding games means there could be some snow games if they start the season earlier, or melting teams by playing in july
>>154162515>>154165668Wait what, is the UFL confirmed to be around for at least 2 more years? That's fucking awesome if so
>>154158651>>154159607yeah, some of the stuff they "missed" was interesting
>>154166310you're right 11 teams should be the goal as odd as it seems play every team once and best 4 for playoffs
>>154165726Repole has been pretty vocal about that
>>154167128Yeah but that doesn't necessarily mean shit. Openly announcing an expansion and announcing a site and everything at least puts down some real roots of "No we're walking the walk too."
>>154120258>Did they show the big man on the INT celebration?yup there he is in the neon green shirt
>>154167379Honestly compared to the Draggies picture and seeing him in person back in 2023, he legit looks like he lost like 60 pounds.
What is the actual appeal of this league? If I wanted an alternative to the NFL I would just go watch Lingerie Football League.

Game of the year, but that was some refball. Not that Louisville didn't deserve those penalties, but calling that and not calling Orlando's DPI is terrible.
early game tomorrow
>>154178954this one and the stallions/roughnecks game have been the most entertaining games so far
Take heart, anons, Rapole is 100% changing that gay ass rule. I can see him seething in his box suite right now.
>>154179043I don't want it to change. You don't like it, stop committing fouls.
>>154179003Crazy how the went from playing in the worst game of the season so far to one of the most exciting in one week.
Like the anon said in the thread, that bullshit rule should only really apply if it was a consecutive penalty on the same try. That shouldn't end the whole OT. Also imagine if that was someone's first UFL game which, considering both the Storm and the Kings are brand new teams, that's very likely to be the case. Imagine ending on that shit. Imagine how the league looks with that and how you may have lost a potential, highly invested watcher of the UFL with that. Sure he may be coming back for the occasional home game, but he for damn sure isn't going to be watching other UFL games after a finish like that.I know I'm blowing it out of proportion and it's not actually that serious, but goodness what an anticlimactic finish and a not great impression. Something about that OT rule has to be tweaked.
>>154179051You’re retarded.
>>154179056>That shouldn't end the whole OTIt doesn't end the OT. It gives them that point. If Louisville had scored on their try, OT would still be going. It only ended OT because it was sudden death and Louisville didn't score.
>>154179062
>>154179063It's not a good rule. Maybe have it apply only on the initial 3 attempts and then afterward find something else. Do whatever they do in college football OT. Something like what happened tonight was not a good look at all for the UFL or, more specifically, the UFL's OT rules implementations.
>>154179056People are already seething about it.
>>154179138
Wait until anons find out an offensive penalty is an automatic loss of try in OT, and you don't get multiple chances.
This is all Josh Minkins fault. If he picked off Bean in the game would’ve been over in regulation.
>>154179254Or if Benny Snell could keep his fat foot in bounds
I don't think the UFL fans liked that ending or rule. Comments are tearing them apart here, the sportscenter account and in general over thathttps://x.com/i/status/2042809265161642284
>>154179262Here's some from the sportcenter accounthttps://x.com/i/status/2042810638624251995
>>154179288>i wont be able to sleep tonightlol
>>154179288>It wasn't even PI!It was pretty blatant PI and holding
>taulia turndaballova starting tomorrowi understand >we're the gamblers but this bet is way too risky
I predict fewer than 5,000 fans at Louisville’s next home game.
>>154179447Regardless of what happened tonight that was going to be a fairly safe bet. It's a Thursday Night game during the Kentucky Derby, and they're likely to be 1-4 going into it.
>>154179543>UFL game on Thurby at 8pmActually not a bad move. The problem is that it'll be on NFL Network AND they're playing the Gamblers. The other anon is right though, I don't see Louisville fans or newer viewers in general being invested in UFL much after this. Maybe a few will come to the home games, but they aren't about to be invested in this league after how to tonight ended.
>>154179691The Gamblers game is an away game. Their next home game is vs the Battlehawks.
>>154179713Yeah. When I typed out that they would be playing the Gamblers I thought I also typed "at Houston" at the end, but I guess I didn't. I'm just tired I guess.
gambas win because I said so and it's my sleepover
What happened i couldnt see the Game
>>154179969Commit two defensive penalties in OT and the offense is awarded 2 points for their attempts. Louisville committed one during best of three attempts. Neither team scored so OT went to sudden death. Louisville doesn’t score. On Orlando’s attempt there was defensive holding. Orlando was awarded 2 points and won the game off a penalty.
what a letdown ending for LouisvilleI hoped Bean could've turned around the game, too bad for the refs
>>154180081Told you guys. >>154179043
time for SNEK
Snek?
>>154183087Good mascot, though small gripe, Snake's skin should've been yellow for Lemon/Beer. Then it'd be a true Beer Snake

>>154185609Sorry for missing this, no, we couldn’t hear shit. We didn’t even have audio for the calls, let alone the reviews. Also could have just been because I was in the loud section and we couldn’t hear any of the announcements anyways.
>>154185550Couldn’t tell you. It was on the opposite side of the stadium from the beer snake section.
>>154186339>>154186377It’s true, all of it. Drove 4 hours away to be here, was easily the most fun I’ve probably ever had. Better atmosphere than that Ponies game I went to in 2024 and even an NFL game.
Gamblernecks need to find a quarterback ASAP. If Renegades are sticking with Austin Reed (which looks like is what they're doing) then the Necks have got to do whatever they can to get Luis Perez.
Up next, I’ll be posting some more pics I took that I didn’t post during the game because there was too much going on and I just wanted to enjoy the atmosphere.First up, I have Moore coming to celebrate after the long TD.
Interview with the beer snake guys ft. Monty.
After the game was over, #50 came over and asked us for a beer since we were chanting, “WE WANT 50!” Sorry that these are all coming out sideways, btw. If I knew how to fix it, I would.
Coach Harris came over to us after 50 left to hype us up. I got a fist bump from him and a guy next to me gave him the tag off his hat as a reference to, “Take the tag off!”
Gonna go to a game sometime this season and wear my BOTES shirt. Might even make a sign with something like >my botes >bootyblast something like that
I talked to the guy that had the pads with the lemons on the shoulders and he said they confiscated them and gave the back later because they said he was going to throw them on the field even though he’s been wearing that shit for years. Also, could you guys hear the, “Fuck Ted Cruz!”, “Fuck Dan Snyder!”, “Houston sucks!”, and, “Belt to ass!” chants? Pic unrelated, is from one of the bathroom stall doors.
>>154188751Like a retard, I have neglected to attach the image. Bleas forgib.
>>154188263They had one, he got hurt
>>154188773I hope you sent him pictures of your poop
>>154188789I did not. My poop pics are for my eyes only.
>>154188724Gotta have one saying STRAIGHT BOOTTY
>>154188751the only ones i heard were "oh we want the beer snake!" which they showed audio and video of following a commercial break and "we want 50!" towards the end of the game. was the crowd doing the other chants during the tv network breaks?
I also forgot to mention that at halftime, I took a K ball to the finger during the kickers’ warmups because I stupidly tied to catch it with one hand while I had my phone out in the other instead of just letting it go since nobody was next to me where it was going to land. My left ring finger is all swollen now because of it; that shit hurts. I managed to deflect another one later that was going to crash right into the beer snake. And speaking of, what they don’t tell or show you on TV is how much fucking work that thing is. It did end up getting way heavier as time went on after I posted about holding it, but it wasn’t, like, ridiculously heavy. Anyways, it’s constantly twisting and sagging and needs monitoring and correcting throughout the entire game to keep it straight and prevent it from breaking. Those guys at the bottom aren’t just leading the section, they’re also managing the snake.
>>154188999I don’t know when they were doing them in relation to the broadcast. It was pretty much a rotation between those at random times. I do remember that we did the, “Belt to ass!” one after either the pick or one of the other touchdowns right before the extra point. I didn’t participate in the Ted Cruz one because politics is gay and shouldn’t be involved in sports. Some fag tried to get an anti-Trump one going, but almost nobody joined.
>>154189237>I didn’t participate in the Ted Cruz one because politics is gay and shouldn’t be involved in sports.i was about to ask if they showed him on the jumbotron for some reason or something because that one is pretty random lol
>>154189280It’s because Ted Cruz is a senator for Texas and was raised and lives in Houston.
>>154189904OK that at least checks out.
>>154189904Biggest traitor in Texan history since Martin Hart
Another chant we did was, “4-POINT FIELD GOALS!” after McCrane’s kick. It really is the most fun you can have at a football game and I would urge any Fendiesbros to make it to at least one home game.
>>154192266Tell your friends bro. And coworkers.
I think they need to combine the record books of all spring football leagues from USFL onwards.Literally every game they're having to announce "highest X" and it's something mundane like a moderately long field goal or a QB with 250 passing yards.

>>154193200Damn, you stole my comment, and with dubs to boot.
>>154193073Unironically, does this make the Aviators better or worse?
>>154193947Possibly it's not like he was running the offense
>>154193947At least Todd Haley has actual HC experience. Whether it will make a difference, we'll find out tomorrow.

>>154193073>>154193125no way lmfao
No but seriously, do we think the Aviators have a better chance now that Todd Haley is HC today? Ted Ginn was clearly not on the same page with the team since they're 0-2. Honestly I want the Aviators to win today because it would be absolute cinema.Also because fuck the Gaydes.
Who is here?
>>154204830i would think so. todd haley has HC experience for better or worse

Good shit Hawkies. Need you guys at 100% power next week at Audi for the matchup of the year. Get ready for an insane crowd, I'll be there in person.
>>154207771Is 2-1 with exciting dramatic wins welcome?
I have no sense of who these players are or what these teams are like (I have no plans to watch this slop). How would they fare against college teams? Against CFL teams (either sets of rules)?
>>154212392They would mop the floor with all but the best college teams, talent level is similar to CFL but CFL teams have the advantage of continuity and should win 8/10 times in UFL rolled, and 10/10 with CFL rules.
>>154212392I only started watching today, just gotta keep watching to get familiarity with the teams and players. There are only 10 games in a season so it's already 30% over.

>>154213599UFL takes the STL attendance for granted, there were zero ads for the UFL around the county and in southern Illinois.
I missed the DC game. What happened? How did Houston get beat so bad?
>>154214247They were starting their third string QB because the other two were hurt.
Watching the Orlando game, they look way better than the Renegades.

>>154214396Really? I haven't been impressed with the Storm. They look like frauds.
>>154214396My 'gades run this league
Overtime shootout is kino.
Are Birmingham frauds?
>>154209830The TV ratings are good enough to justify its' existence; it's on par with small market NHL or NBA games. Which means there's enough ad revenue from sponsors paying for commercial slots to keep it afloat.Also, you didn't hear this from me but gambling degens contribute more than you'd think.
>Wouldn't even be a sellout at Energizer Park
The irony is that these spring leagues are learning McMahon was right all along. The NFL has such a stranglehold on football that unless you turn it into an unhinged meme nuMetal league, nobody will care.2001 xfl still had the best attendance.2001 xfl still had the best tv ratings.2001 xfl objectively still had the best players.You can't get people to care if your marketing pitch is "Ngubu Jones might play well enough to get back into the Nfl" or "one corner of a lightly populated endzone made a beer snake haha xd." This will always be an uphill battle.
It's too far down the road but here's what should have been done.>Keep the edgy gun metal branding and XFL nameTarget four markets that never had a pro team:>Anchorage, San Antonio, Mexico City, and HawaiiTarget four scorned markets.>San Diego, St Louis, Oakland, SacramentoRules package:>Turnover (fumble recovery, INT) is worth two points like a safety.
