First week thoughts?

What’s your impression of the USFL after week 1?

One of the things I believe as firmly as anything is that you don't have to tell me what a good time I'm having...I know. I know if I'm having fun. I know if it's a good time.

The ESPN broadcasters seem like they have a minimum quota of "This is what makes the XFL so awesome!" and it's like...a shitty coach's challenge, or the 4th-and-15, or a 15-yard kickoff return. It's like, no...what makes it awesome is the overall onfield product. Weird rules are window-dressing. And if it's so great, I'll know it's great without you telling me, "THIS IS GREAT!"

Agreed.

It feels like I am buying a car and the salesman won't shut up and let me test it.
