Severe lack of ESPN and Kayo has me

How strange that the Gargoyles are equal top of the East. The lowest quality football produced in the XFL.

DC have another chance to break their record..... Of the longest beer snake.

The Vipers are chance to knock over the KA-Kaaw crew.

i did find that the Fox takedown ninjas seem to only target Youtube. the last 2 weeks i have used the same guy on twitch without any takedowns. there was a glitch this week where the video froze late in the game

 

[drd23]

Fox seem to be the only ones taking down streams on YT. Or maybe I just think that because they usually have the game that is on on Sunday late mornings...

 

[Exe Gesis]

the channel that is surviving the YT takedowns is called AgentPewds V.3

Agent Pewds V.3

AGENT PEWDS V.2 WAS TAKEN DOWN ON 7/27/20

www.youtube.com

His streams are called BILL NYE DISCUSSION or XFL BILL NYE DISCUSSION.

 

[AJ_2000]

Nothing like some Bill Nye the science guy. Great theme song.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Renegades have named Jeff Jagodzinski offensive coordinator, effective immediately.

League-wide XP conv. rates halfway thru season....

1pt - 41.0%
2pt - 38.3%
3pt - 30.8%

The teams w/ 3pt converts (HOU, LA, & DAL) are also the three pass heaviest teams

 

[Exe Gesis]

DC added five players from Team 9

QB CJ Collins
WR Tyler Palka
WR Jalen Rowell
DB Reggie Cole
DL Daryle Banfield

 

[Exe Gesis]

Three simple rules for picking a winner in XFL games (after Week 5)

1. If Houston is playing, pick Houston
2. If Dallas is playing, pick the road team
3. For all other games, pick the home team

We're halfway through the season and following these rules would have gotten every game correct. Wonder if this will last until Dallas plays at Houston in Week 9

Josh Johnson legit challenger to PJ Walker for MVP...

With a headshot like that. He looks like he wouldnt pass the NFL drug test.

XFL Roster Expands from 52 to 57 Players

Expect more teams to announce five signings....after DC and STL just did....

The BattleHawks have added OG Korren Kirven, TE Gabe Holmes, WR Davon Grayson, OT Gerhard de Beer, & P Cory Carter

 

[Exe Gesis]

Big crowds banned in Seattle
Inslee just announced it because of the corona virus.
So what will become of the games in Seattle? I don’t think this league can afford to have no revenue by playing in front of empty seats...will we play on the road?

-------------

If he does this without calling a state of emergency then it's unconstitutional. Covid is a bad disease but we're nowhere near an emergency yet. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, and I'll be calling my contact at the Dragons in the morning to see what they'll do for those of us with season tickets in the meantime. My suggestion is you get credit in the XFL store for each game we're prohibited from attending, equal to the purchase price of the ticket for that game.
