I'll definitely watch again. The DC team was really good last year. And I'm much MUCH more interested in going to see a game at small, intimate Audi Field than deal with the overpriced zoo of drunken, miserable humanity that shows up at NFL games. 

I'm all in, and I think this actually has a chance to work. 

The Rock is financially invested in this league, and the Rock is a savvy businessman. I honestly don't think he would be backing this if he didn't think it had a chance of taking off. 

What he needs is a "Welcome to Wrexham" style docudrama following it to bring it more in the public eye.

I'll go to a Stallions game or two living in Alabama, but the team isnt even going to be based in Bham which threw me off. They'll live and practice in Arlington and then come here for home games. Last year tickers were only $10. Hard to beat a few hours of live entertainment for that price.

Seems to be my story with this for a long time. I always start watching it, try to pick a team and then just get bored with it. The play level is usually pretty bad.

Yeah I'm the same way, I catch it for a while here and there and then I lose interest and end up doing other things with my time.

The most I ever paid attention to these alternate leagues was actually in 2020 when the XFL's season got cancelled in March over COVID.  So that was a bust.

Gotta commend people for keeping on trying to compete with the NFL lol

I think at this point they’re not trying to compete with the NFL. I think The Rock realizes their best stance is an extra opportunity for fringe players to get reps and game tape to try and get to the NFL. Always thought the NFL should buy up or at least partner up with the them in some fashion

Yes, but bummed that the west coast has been shut off. When they combined the leagues, Las Vegas lost its franchise so I think the closest team is now Houston which is like forever and a day away. And as a Panthers fan who has only ever lived in California, I needed that home town team.

I enjoy football and not such a football stuck up that I consider XFL/USFL bad football in general just because it isn't the NFL so I will watch. The Arena Football League starts back this year as well but I suppose it will get called "bad football" or not real football by the football stuck ups as well which it most definitely was not and was quite enjoyable to watch.

I was really into the USFL on it's first run in the '80s, but I was just like in my early teens. I followed the Breakers as they went from Boston to Portland to New Orleans. Was really hoping we would get a team in NC and even had one of the hoodie t-shirts promoting it.

And then splat, it just crashed and it was all over.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
