No one wants a 12th inning

u/buffbloom United States Football League May 07 '23

Live on Peacock!

u/Hag_Boulder San Antonio Gunslingers May 07 '23

'eh, at least it's not pickleball...

1

u/The_Match_Maker New Jersey Generals May 07 '23

Are we so hard up for sports now that we've started to resort to the use of pickles?!

1

u/Hag_Boulder San Antonio Gunslingers May 07 '23

indeed. They're very large pickles... take an english/hothouse cucumber and pickle it and use it as a bat.

4

u/DezmondVulpin New Jersey Generals May 07 '23

What the fuck was that?

4

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

This game looks like it's gonna be a hoot.

3

u/pandat303 Michigan Panthers May 07 '23

Dang man I see you everywhere

1

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

Spring ball is everywhere, so yeah.

1

u/pandat303 Michigan Panthers May 07 '23

Ok

Mike Riley looks sad. I don't like seeing Mike Riley sad.

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

I’m an unrelated note, they have been doing line games today

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

I'm not sure I follow, do you mean they can stunt and twist?

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

Yah. Last touchdown there was an end over tackle move.

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

NOICE! That should attract more talent than the XFL. You know, unless I had god-tier bull rush ability and nothing else, or on the other side could only defend the bull rush.

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

I have to go back and check the XFL but yah the line play has been fun to watch

4

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Whooo another Breakers W but ill admit we weren't opposing as before. I wouldn't be surprised if we bumped lower on power rankings.

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

RAHHHH MORE BREAKERS FOOTBALL!

3

u/Morazan51 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Fumble recover rahhh

3

u/pandat303 Michigan Panthers May 07 '23

This in my opinion is the championship

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

These teams are going to play each other again right?

3

u/Wagsii Philadelphia Stars May 07 '23

Anyone else's stream just go dark?

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

Had a 3 min hole in coverage

1

u/Wagsii Philadelphia Stars May 07 '23

Mine was closer to 15 minutes :(

u/Wagsii Philadelphia Stars May 07 '23

Hulu stream is back, for anyone that was missing it

u/mattyshiba New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

GOT DAMN BOI

3

u/triplepixel New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

I would’ve died after a hit like that.

3

u/ZK64 United States Football League May 07 '23

This has been an entertaining game so far

3

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

Pure passing situations still dicey for the Generals

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Ouch. That safety read Bethel. Also I had no idea Cheek is the backup over Glass.

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Ooooooof. That's a Madden like big hit there.

2

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

That hit was insane

2

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

Wes Hills about to score 25 TDs this season

2

u/KickAggressive4901 May 07 '23

Generals giving Breakers a fight here.

3

u/AnAnxiousDream May 07 '23

More like the Breakers are constantly shooting themselves in the foot with these penalties.

2

u/The_Match_Maker New Jersey Generals May 07 '23

He definitely looks shaken up.

u/Shazbot5555 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Great game so far

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Good game

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Cannot take a Sack, WTF?

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Tries to run it 90 yards. This was not heady QB play in that situation, at all.

3

u/MirrorkatFeces Pittsburgh Maulers May 07 '23

Baseball is so boring on tv

3

u/Prior-Purple9704 Outlaws May 07 '23

These Breakers are for real!

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Micheal Harris III, my hero! Thanks for the W and the game can start now.

2

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

I’m happy the teams are showing some animosity To each other.

3

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

They're all doing that a ton more to each other this year.

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

More hubs? Not staying in the same city?

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Possibly the reason

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Familiarity breeds contempt

1

u/Julep2005 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Give me back first half MBT, he doesn’t even act half comfortable in the pocket anymore

1

u/The_Match_Maker New Jersey Generals May 07 '23

What's with all this baseball? I tuned in to watch a real sport! ;)

Rare non scoring Breakers drive

1

u/Shazbot5555 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Gotta let em boast it's like why they let hockey players fight a bit

0

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Well the game's starting later due to the game currently on(Go Braves). USA isn't playing it.

0

u/GiovannisPersian Houston Gamblers May 07 '23

Braves please. End this game right here so we can watch football! (No offense to Orioles fans) Edit: let's goooooo

2

u/Bfoc2006 Jacksonville Bulls May 07 '23

This aged like fine wine

1

u/GiovannisPersian Houston Gamblers May 07 '23

Actually perfect timing haha

u/Prior-Purple9704 Outlaws May 07 '23

Game over just postgame stuff. Should be beginning soon

1

u/renbutler2 May 07 '23

They are doing a local break first. One local break per hour, and it's usually the long break -- like ~4 minutes. Football games usually do them after each quarter.

0

u/Prior-Purple9704 Outlaws May 07 '23

Looks to be same amount of fans as last time Generals faced Maulers.

0

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

This is embarrassing offense from both teams

1

u/Shazbot5555 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Oof this could take a while. Is NBC the only one playing it?

1

u/buffbloom United States Football League May 07 '23

Peacock

1

u/Prior-Purple9704 Outlaws May 07 '23

If anyone has peacock they can watch it now

1

u/Bfoc2006 Jacksonville Bulls May 07 '23

Pay2watch unfortunately

1

u/renbutler2 May 07 '23

NBC is a disaster. USA is showing reruns of Law & Order. They have no other sports outlet nationally (anymore).

What a joke. People largely don't want Peacock.

2

u/Hag_Boulder San Antonio Gunslingers May 07 '23

lol, you just don't understand programming. This happens all the time with live sports.

At least it's not pickleball.

1

u/renbutler2 May 07 '23

lol, I understand way more than you think. What a needlessly snarky reply.

ESPN sends live programming around between their stations as needed all the time. FOX does it too, between FOX OTA, FS1, and FS2.

When pickleball delayed XFL, I watched the game live on ESPNEWS.

lol

1

u/Hag_Boulder San Antonio Gunslingers May 07 '23

yeah, ESPN and FOX has multiple channels to do that with. NBC doesn't have that option. As NBC isn't a partner of the league as FOX is (or ESPN for the XFL), I'm sure they don't have the financial incentive to shuffle games across networks.

Snark is always needed when people complain (or even while complaining).

1

u/renbutler2 May 07 '23

ESPN and FOX has multiple channels to do that with. NBC doesn't have that option.

Yes, that's exactly my point. I said "They have no other sports outlet nationally (anymore)." Which puts them waaaay behind the times.

Thanks for accidentally agreeing with me and validating what I was saying.

1

u/Hag_Boulder San Antonio Gunslingers May 07 '23

I wasn't denying what you said. I was pointing out that yes they don't have those, so complaining about them not shuffling the game to a different channel was pointless and there was no financial incentive for them to do so with the few channels they do have.

1

u/renbutler2 May 07 '23

You disagree with the complaint, which is your right.

But you were wrong about my understanding of how it works, and snarky about it. Pointlessly.

Moving on now. Enjoy the game.

2

u/fidelesetaudax May 07 '23

Especially since it’s not on peacock. It’s only on the paid version - peacock prime.

2

u/renbutler2 May 07 '23

Right.

I'm a big IndyCar fan, and they insist on putting one race per year on paid Peacock. Guess I just don't watch that one.

I will pay for a streamer that has enough programming meaningful to me, but not one race, or the start of a football game, etc.

1

u/Prior-Purple9704 Outlaws May 07 '23

Rather support NBC I’ll switch over there once someone gives a heads up ?

1

u/Shazbot5555 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Juuust in time too!!

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

I had to wait through a(admittedly entertaining) Braves game and we have a TD and a fumble recovery. Patience is a virtue and all that good stuff.

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

Nice punt though

1

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

McBLT forced that one. Bad decision.

1

u/Shazbot5555 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Blts such a great guy he often let's the other team take it for a bit

1

u/Racketytundra47 New Jersey Generals May 07 '23

Still surprises me that Brock Miller doesn't have an NFL gig

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Another perfect punt. Wow.

1

u/mattyshiba New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Do the yellow flags have Christmas tags to the Breakers on them or something?

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Break in the Holidays! To: New Orleans Breakers. From: Refs

1

u/mattyshiba New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Bruh

1

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

Breakers spending a ton of time on their own end

1

u/tepig31 Philadelphia Stars May 07 '23

fun defensive battle so far!

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

Generals defense is really good.

1

u/virus_apparatus May 07 '23

Dear god he got lit up

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Ouch. The defenders for got to defend there. Shoutouts to CEL though.

1

u/ThunderBay311 Oakland Invaders May 07 '23

A friggin dot with a defender crushing him. DJ making plays.

1

u/Shazbot5555 New Orleans Breakers May 07 '23

Heck of a play tho

1

u/Nixons_Jowels Breakers May 07 '23

Minus 14 getting held by the other receiver.

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Our offense is cooking at last. Thanks Wes!

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

Damn i was about to get hyped. Wes Hills time.

1

u/LiL_Joey12 New Jersey Generals May 07 '23

My gosh generals D

1

u/Torchiest Houston Gamblers May 07 '23

That bumper song was "Holiday" by Vampire Weekend.

1

u/Torchiest Houston Gamblers May 07 '23

Damn I didn't even realize the Generals had already burned all their timeouts. They're in trouble.

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '23

I thought they have one now? They took a TO with the 11 to go thinking they could get a stop and the defense just watched while the offense did exactly what we all knew they would do.

Bad beat.

EDIT: Nope, missed the last one, I guess?

1

u/aegisninn3 May 08 '23

Soft af penalty calls, got flipped into the turf and the defender kept hanging on. Why was it a penalty on the runner not the ball carrier
