Schum actually was the Packers' punter once upon a time. He broke his back and was told that he could never kick again. The XFL is his comeback. I believe it's been five years since he last punted or something like that. Not sure why he's so ripped, I originally thought he was a LB lol. One of my favorite players, though. He's a super positive personality and post lots of motivational crap. Yeah I remember him in GB but had no clue on his back story. Count me in on the Vipers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I found a fantasy league for those of you who want to check it out. The XFL app is also available; sounds like it's very sleek and easy to use. Just download, pick your favorite team and you're set. I'm also hearing about something called XFL Play that gives you cash prizes for correctly predicting scores, but I don't have a link for that yet.

BigMountainGoat Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Seems like a fair amount of recycled AAF players. So I expect a similar level product. If the AAF didn't succeed, even with the NFL links to the point games were on NFL network, I can't see it lasting. The sheer amount of money available means it might last a bit longer, but no start up league will work until it properly links into the NFL structure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a fantasy league going with me and 3 of my buddies using that site. Seems pretty basic and easy so far, will see come draft time tonight . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t wanna see a minor league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on down, y'all to see 100% O'Brien Free Football! We have a coach! We have a GM! They are not the same person and neither of them are morons! OK, not really, but maybe they should.

y*so*blu Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Actually the Roughnecks' head coach and general manager are the same person but it's June Jones, not Bill O'Brien. (Jones is coming back to the states from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who he led to the playoffs in 2018.) 2 hours ago, Split the Sticks said: Skippy, you gotta knock this off! You're a Texans fan.

I actually think he's an Eagles fan in Houston. He represents every Texans' fans hatred of BoB in a very respectful fashion, I'd be proud to call him a Texans fan such as myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty basic and easy so far, will see come draft time tonight . So following up on this... We used the altfantasysports.com site, and it went decently. Took quite a few refreshes and a couple re-logins because it was a bit buggy (which we kind of expected being that it isn't an official fantasy site like Yahoo or ESPN), but nonetheless it got the job done. When setting your queue/drafting, expect to have to occasionally click the buttons a few times since it doesn't seem to like to register that you've clicked it lol. I would recommend using the following 2 sites to help you draft. There's an ADP filter you can click but it's not helpful since most of the players are unknown commodities and I think people are just drafting players with no clue of who's who and therefor the ADP isn't the most accurate in telling which player will be good. https://www.fanduel.com/theduel/posts/xfl-fantasy-football-rankings-by-position-2020-01dyfrnhzzvz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_XFL_Draft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Kinda interested in seeing how some of the unique rules translate on the field, the kickoff, lack of Pat kicks, and double forward pass especially... Though I have a feeling the double forward pass won't be used all that often since it's still just a trick play thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
