Pliny Petes Official XFL Chat Thread 2023 Season Edition

Im guessing you didnt watch the league last year. Its the opposite and the xfl borrowed alot from what the usfl did last year. A lot of these players are legit like scooby wright and case cookus. I dont care whos better just enjoying more spring football. Fox has a better looking product imo all i was saying.

Actually, most of what the XFL is doing in 2023 is borrowed from what they were doing in 2020. I don't think the XFL borrowed anything from the USFL.

Watching decent football is always great. Agree.

Another week, another XFL game coming down to the last minute
Im starting to think The Rock is a booking genius!

 

[Iron Mang]

And another overtime! Arlington vs DC has been a great game and will now have a great finish with the shootout!

This was the USFL's opening weekend, and people were tuning in to see the new season premier. USFL ratings will likely decline as the season continues (like they did last season).

The NBA playoffs crushed them both in the ratings.

Big game today!!! Winner of the Seadragons vs Defenders game is essentially going to win it all. Dinucci should be the MVP of the league. Sea Dragons are by far the most entertaining team to watch with their spread offense airing it out all game.

I wouldn't write off Dallas so quickly. They are a different team with Perez, and they only lost to the Defenders by one point in the regular season. They will also have more fans in the stands for the championship game.

Think the Renegades are going to get the upset and win the XFL championship! They just seem to want it more tonight.

 

[Fists of Fire]

Weird to see a team with a losing record as champions. Should scrap divisions next year and just have the top 4 teams advance.

Ben DiNucci talking trash from his couch. Then he deleted the post.

This is probably why Dwayne Johnson bit the bullet and agreed to do another Fast and Furious film (despite Vin Diesel being a disrespectful cunt).
