Oh the commentator just said there’s no PAT after a TD, so you have to go for 2... or try something else. Interesting that some league I’ve never heard of has decided to pop up right after the Super Bowl though. Not sure. I know the old XFL didn't have Fair Catches so player would get annihilated on punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the original XFL was mental. I found this though about the reboot league & the new rule changes. Less brutal for receiving players now: https://www.cbssports.com/xfl/news/xfl-2020-viewers-guide-schedule-players-coaches-everything-to-know-about-new-football-league/ What I like best about it though is the transparency on video review. You hear what’s going through the officials mind as they make a decision - it also kills some of the boredom as they show the replay over and over because you hear what the guy is thinking as he’s watching it. The NFL (and VAR) could learn from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted February 10, 2020 Administrator Share Posted February 10, 2020 @Dr. Gonzo I was literally the same as you not knowing what the fuck this is and how it's different to NFL. I read the rules on Wiki and didn't really get much. I don't get the link with WWE apart from Vince McMahon being involved? It seems like a vastly sped up version of NFL but at the same time seems quite tacky and 2nd rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it seems second rate because the players are basically NFL rejects, as are the coaches. Seems like a weird in between for college football and the NFL. The 2 forward passes rule is interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman 5,938 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I like the rules for the PATs. 1 point from the 2yd line, 2 points from the 5yd line or 3 from the 10yd line. No kicking as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 1,310 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Don't know much about American football but what are people's opinions on the Washington Redskins deciding to change their name and logo? I get changing the name but the logo is great and I don't know what people's problem with it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get changing the name but the logo is great and I don't know what people's problem with it is. Long overdue. It's a storied franchise that has a name and logo which is pretty racist. The logo needs changing because it's a group of people that American slaughtered and moved to random parts of the country, and now a team is profiting from their heritage and look like logo.
