Gonna be rooting for Arlington in this first game, never in my life will ever root for Vegas in anything ever again!

GO RENEGADES!!

 

[Pliny Pete]

I wonder if Vince McMahon will be watching

 

[Poon Goon]

Who is the ugly lady they keep showing?

 

[Dizzy]

XFL is the best “Forgot about that dude” programming.

Gonna support my man Wad Phillips and the Roughnecks.

 

[Dizzy]

Who is the ugly lady they keep showing?

Rock’s ex-wife and business partner.

 

[Pliny Pete]

That was one inspirational promo outta ole Dwayne, there

The intersection of Dreams and Opportunity, baybay!

 

[Corona]

XFL needs to bring back my mans PJ Walk

 

[Dizzy]

I actually liked that kickoff idea. Tired of watching 90% of kickoffs sail through the end zone.

 

[Belaya Smert]

They’re trying to throw this farce at the wall and see if it will stick again, eh.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Somebody better tell Skip Bayless about these new kicker-less conversion rules, its his dream come true

 

[SoCalprodigy09]

Vegas can't run for shit, but Perez looked like prime Shane Falco

The original was farcical and the last iteration was a Covid victim. Football needs some farmer leagues.

 

[SoCalprodigy09]

Lol they thought my dog Tyler Vaughns was 28 like he was Stinson Bennett at USC. Knowing him, he'll drop a wide open pass next.

 

[SoCalprodigy09]

Yo, Will Hill playing for Arlington. I still have his tweet on my sig.

Idk, man. NCAA has all those inferior divisions to pluck from.

Yea, but those guys have nowhere to go if they dont make a practice squad, a couple more years of steady playing time in a minor league and a few of em might blossom into an NFL level talent

They could I suppose assuming injuries to players ahead of them on the depth chart plague the team interested. I could see this being a small possibility for every position with the exception QB. So much success is predicated on that position seems like the biggest gamble.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Dug my 20 plus years old SF Demons hat outta the closet for this special occasion

Opening weekend for the XFL is this weekend.
