XFL Football League to start in January 2020

Thanks for posting that schedule, Bonnie.
I will likely turn some of it on, just to see if I find any interest or distraction in it, or not.

That might be part of the draw; to follow players you have an interest in.

This is a good idea, which i will see if i can muster up some interest in any of the spcific players or teams.
I have no idea if i will, or if i will not have any. It's worth a try for myself, since i am very limited in what else, I am able to do.
 

If this has anything to do with "extreme" sports, no thanks. NFL gets "extreme" enough for us. I was never into the WWF or WWE.
 
I don't expect this to be rougher than NFL. I thought it would be less so, but I don't know how it will be.

If it's "more extreme" then it would lose me as well. It might lose me anyway. But I will check it out, on the weekend.
 

Anyone else going to check out, either of today' s games, on this February Saturday,
or tomorrow, Sunday's?
Schedule and tv stations are all listed in an above post, by Bonnie, I think..

There are some players some of you might have heard of, from either college, or professional....
such as QB Cardale Jones, and RB Williams....

A few posters have mentioned that they will now miss watching a football game, at times.
I dont know if these will hold any interest for any of us, or not. I hope they do, but might not.

@Old Dummy @jerry r. garner @Bonnie @Pappy @Lethe200 @DaveA others?
 
Well, whatever it is -it's football
Well give it a look see.
Not knowing who's who hampers the game for viewers.
I would like to see some type of football challenge the NFL.
 
Full schedule on page 1 of this thread, Post # 35 .

2pm today, Sat, on ABC.
5pm today, Sat, on Fox.

2pm, tomorrow Sunday, on Fox.
And 5pm, tomorrow Sunday, on um...ESPN, I think.

A different post on page 1 of this thread, post # 11,
notes a few of the specific and different rules.
 
There you go Bonnie thanks
I've grown dependent on folks like Kaila, Lethe200, Bonnie to keep me informed of
'What's going.'
 
Let's turn it on, at least, just to see if we can tell one team's uniforms/colors, from the opponent one!
:ROFLMAO:
 
Oh well, my TV will not work at all, and I could not figure any way to stream it either..

My TV went out yesterday, due to the winter storms here, as did my INternet, but they both came back on last night.
Very clear and calm weather today , and my Internet remained on, today,
so I expected TV would be fine also,

but no, when I trned on the TV at 2pm, (Saturday) I then discovered that the TV is back off, so I cannot check out any of the game so far, today.
Ah well, I had tried to convince myself to get interested in it all week....but no, I cant see it, to try.

Let me know if anyone else finds it interesting, in any way, or even just better than whatever else is on.

Hi Kaila, you doing okay I hope . . . ?

I just quit work and turned on the current game, but I don't know who to root for. This is a huge dilemma, and is the reason I never got into college games -- too many teams to learn about and keep track of.

I don't know whose great idea this was, but they got way too much of the screen (bottom) covered with crap and gossip, too much of the game is obscured. I like the old days, when the technology didn't exist and they couldn't put anything on the screen besides the game itself. Oh well.

So did you learn how to root yet?
 
Good to see you, OldD, and that is interesting about the screen.

I am certain I would agree with you on that, IF I could see anything on my screen!

But nothing on mine, today so far,
so no, I haven't figured how to root for anyone. :rolleyes::sneaky:

I was wanting any distraction today, but the game is not on, and I have no idea, if/when,
the TV will come back.... oh well.
I am glad I didn't have too high hopes for this league.
Though I had planned to check it out.

So your TV is completely dead? Did you call the cable company or whoever supplies it?

As for rooting, your local college should have "Rooting Classes" available for little or nothing.

It's okay, all thing considered. This is their first game, they will get better if the league last. Defense is absent, but give them time.
The game moves fast, probably due to NFL fans disgusted with the refs 'conference,'
and all the yak, yak of commentators on sidelines, in the booth...
It was okay, watched it while I'm writing letters on pc.

DC won 31 to Seattle's 19 -Jim Zorn old Seattle QB is coach of Seattle.

The old AFL lured viewers with their long passes and fights; by the time AFL and NFL
merged, the AFL had the superior teams.
You can bet the NFL scouts are watching, trying to find talent for their teams.

Never got clear shots of the stands to see how many fans showed up.

All things considered, gave it a thumbs up.

It turns out it's widespread, OldD.
Another thread was started, about it:

https://www.seniorforums.com/threads/tv-outage.46270/#post-1248432

No one knows how long it might be out. I've No idea if i will catch any glimpse of tonight's or tomorrow's games.

Those rooting classes sound good. :LOL:
Are there perhaps Online Classes for that?
I looked through our icons/emoji's, here, and i cannot find any Pom Poms !

I cannot comprehend why not. :ROFLMAO:

Hmm, okay, I checked that thread out. I have OTA so I'm not affected. FWIW, the second game, on FOX instead of ABC like the first one, has VERY LITTLE crap and gossip on the bottom. Even less than regular NFL games.

But I still don't know who to root for. It's Los Angeles vs. Houston. I have no hunting dogs in either of those locations.

Online rooting classes: I hadn't thought of that, but I'm sure there must be!

Sans Pom Pom smileys, maybe these can be a fill-in:

Kaila: No tv, can't live without tv, has to be on whether I'm watching it or not.
Hope pc does not clunk out on you.

Right, Jerry. (y)
Yesterday for several hours, i lost both the INternet and tv, and felt a little isolated.
I had no idea when they would come back, which is what makes it harder.

The heat was flickering on and off, which was even more upsetting, but thankfully it stayed on. It is VERY cold here, this weekend.

^^^^ That is interesting and good to hear!
So, that is the Fox coverage, which is the same channel, for tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon's game.

I suggest, you(and we) Try to remember that none of the players are from those locations, so the team isn't actually either. :LOL:

Perhaps try to choose some players or some play strategies, that appeal to you????? :unsure:

I like those cheering squads you posted above! Thanks! :ROFLMAO:
 
Wow! I can't tolerate cold, (circulation) I purchased two electric radiators., they will keep a room toasty, if you keep door closed and it does not get below 35degrees.
If furnace is acting ornery, but both radiators in same room-ah toasty.

Heat, up where you live is something to be concerned about, like big time concern.

2nd ball game is on, La vs Houston. They look good on some plays, crumby on others.
number of fans, first tier is almost full, 2nd tier empty-it will depend on tv crowd and what networks are paying.

OD: as you say, we don't have a dog in this hunt, kind'a strange to not care who wins.

I hope you get your TV back, so you can at least check out tomorrow's games!

I know nothing about nothing, but Imma root for Houston -- just cuz they got bright red "joiseys." Although I'm not really watching closely, it's just "on."

Maybe you can find an online "Crash Course in Rooting," so you can be ready if your TV works tomorrow afternoon.

Kaila wants to know how much tv networks are paying to air games, that is the key to
survival, will goggle tomorrow or next day.

Okay OD, you got Houston, I'll root for LA-I prefer white uniforms. Bama and
Ohio State wear red jerseys. I get tire of watching them murder the opposition.
