    Again, I completely forgot about watching the DC squad. Apparently they are doing well without me . . . .

    Unlike the Redskins!
    Dallas team couldn't score and came up short despite a solid D effort last week. This week, they'll probably score 40 and the defense will spit the bit. Then it'll be deja vou all over again...T

    So far, the only thing I really don't like is the dumb-ass 'team' celebrations every time someone
    intercepts a pass or recovers a fumble....
    Celebrate when you score, anything else - just stop it...

    I know. But that's true in the NFL also. As a spectator, that gets boring real fast. Grow up already . . .

    I watch all the games.

    St Louis was great today. Looked like the dome was pretty full and the crowd was right up there with Seattle. LOUD.

    Houston and DC have the best qbs.

    Like the changes. 25 sec between plays. We actually had a kickoff returned for a touchdown. Also had a double forward pass.

    The refs are solid. I like when they go into the booth to review a call. They walk you right through it. NFL could take something this.

    Only two timeouts per half. Shows 3 is overkill. Just slows down the game.

    The presentation is very professional...except ESPN. We missed the first touchdown because the NBA game was still going at kickoff. They should have started the XFL game from the beginning. Don’t see the benefit of watching it LIVE if you can’t see the game from the beginning. Makes no sense to me. ESPN lost those advertising spots for no reason.

    DC has the best QB? 4 or 5 pics today?
    ESPN - probably makes more money from the NBA - and probably has more people watching NBA?

    I read a story last week about week three ratings will tell if this league survives or not.

    In every other league that has been invented in the last 20 years, week one ratings
    were gangbusters, week two they fell, week three they fell a ton more, like 33%,
    so if this past weekend had bad ratings, it is eventually doomed (they say).

    I was traveling this past weekend and didn't see any games, but I watched almost all
    of them the first two weeks.

    uninformed XFL announcer just now:

    'How many of you remember Kelly Tripucka, NBA player years ago in Detroit,
    well, this is his nephew out there, Shane Tripucka... '

    Umm, HELLO - any idea who FRANK Tripucka is? Good lord....

    I don't know why he would mention the NBA when the true heritage is from the NFL????
    He should have mentioned BOTH.

    Far too many sideline 'interviews' during the game with both coaches and players for me...
    Seems to be getting worse (more frequent) every week.

    Watched for the first time. Houston looked good with June Jones' playcalling and QB Walker being able to implement the game plan. Defense came up with 5 turnover's though I blame that on Landry Jones' incompetence as a QB1. Liked how fast pace the game was and the kickoff design seems better at protecting players. Lukewarm on the point after attempts, even getting 1 point from the 2 yard line isn't easy. A 3 point attempt getting successfully converted is tough.

    Yeah, I saw that.
    Wonder how they got it, most of the folks in Seattle (that got it) were from the same nursing-type home.... unless that was his/her day job.

    I was also thinking folks will be staying home instead of going to events, that might boost ratings - a little.

    My interest in the XFL is waning...

    I'm tired of the constant sideline 'interviews', and I'm really tired of the players
    arguing with the officials after nearly every play, it's getting really old...
    Can you just treat it as a sport and not 'entertainment'?
    I AM watching, but just one game a weekend, that may change.
