Charlotte native Pep Hamilton is the head coach of the DC team. I always like his style.

I feel like the game play/rules so far has been more exciting than the AAF.

[Sasquatch]

Looks like pretty good attendance

[bigskypanthersguy]

We air the game later this afternoon at my tv station gig.

No expectations.

 

[Happy Panther]

Some player just dropped an F-Bomb on live TV lol.

[huggybear1688]

offense is a struggle but expected, Interviews are hilarious though

[Happy Panther]

Isn't going for 2 the exact wrong play there (up 9-6)?

[BudFox]

it's about as interesting as a somewhat chippy FCS game with commensurate production value

[lightsout]

I'm enjoying it. The cussing will get the sideline interview segments cut though, which might tank the league as that is a great unique feature RIGHT after immediate plays.

[Ja Rhule]

It’s better than no sports.

Things the NFL could absolutely use:

1) headsets in all offensive skill player's helmets. Will cut down on huddle time, will allow for less confusion. GREAT for guys like Cam who thrive in no huddle. IDK how I feel about them ALWAYS being on as I think that could negatively impact players having a coach in their ear the whole time. Could also lend itself to cheating.

2) two timeouts per half. Hell, I can't recall the last time ANY team used all 6 available timeouts anyway. Would make frivolous challenges more painful.

3) OT rules adopted.
