Jints - I def think that would have been a flag in the NFL. That was my first thought, actually. I've just been conditioned to expect it and was almost stunned when none were thrown.
Hopefully that means they're going to let these guys play a bit.
was never the quality of play, which was about as good/bad as you would expect it to be, given the talent available.
The problem was that it was oversold as a meaner, tougher alternative to the NFL, and it couldn't live up to that. Not with their funky rule changes, the T & A, and the pro-wrestling style "feuds" they tried to improvise.
Yep, agreed -- be interested to see what they offer in 2020 -- they seem committed to more conventional football, but Vince McMahon answers to absolutely no one.
Vince is going to beat this league. The consumer will have a bunch of access to things they will never see in any other league. He will tier the product, and eventually pivot to a digital platform.
Vince will not be afraid to go after college athletes that just want to be paid.

this game is moving right along. Barely time to get up and grab a beer.
LMAO -- the color analyst in the Orlando game must be reading our thread -- just said you need to bring the cooler into the living room for this league!

Yep it was Gary Danielson LOL
My dad commented on the flow of the game too...he loves it
I feel like this league is going to be a great pool
For NFL teams to find kickers mid season when one guy gets injured or is cut for sucking ass. Kickers are going to benefit most from this league in the beginning.

Gary Danielson is the guy who was grabbed and thrown with 1 hand by LT, right?
This game is moving along faster than an NFL game, too. Less commercials, quicker play clock. Anything to speed the game up and get it wrapped up in under 3 hours is a plus for me.
We're basically through the first half in 1 hour which is great.

Time to bring the hammer down!
Congratulations. This is shaping up to be a very special night for you that you'll never forget.
I think you gotta show the respect to the Gods of old and go with the full name.
But I'm a traditionalist.
Did you see that one sack where he almost got decapitated?
yeah -- and not a great decision to follow up his latest beating with that ill-advised heave.
Martz might need to go to the bench.

Bercovici is taking a fucking beating.
Did you see that one sack where he almost got decapitated?
LOL, yup. They showed him on the sideline before - we're not even at halftime and he looks like he's been through the damn ringer.
And I started him this week. Wonderful. (Eyeroll)

NOT so fast!

It was a perfectly clean hit.
So maybe.

what happened?
Nope! No kickoffs is awesome. The only thing that sucks is I am trained to use the after score break to get more food, use the bathroom, etc.
Now they are back to football almost instantly!

for San Antonio in a game they've dominated
what happened?
Interception in San Antonio territory.
SD in position to tie going in to half.
We're basically through the first half in 1 hour which is great.
