    I watched just a little of two games, craptacular the CFL is better, hell college ball is better. Will see if it lasts/improves.

    I watched, but missed first quarter or more of the first game and turned off the 2nd as it became a blowout.

    I see it much like college ball, but no teams have been established. Once a good game is supposed to happen, I'll watch to see if it follows through.

    I'll watch the championship game for sure, maybe a few of the playoff games just for intel and clarification/name recognition. They're the best it has to offer afterall.

    I'll then compile my thoughts on what to do next year, if they still exist.

    I watched a little. They had the crowd noise too loud and I couldn’t hear the announcers. Fox used to be that way for NFL games and adjusted their volumes in recent years.

    XFL Seemed to have some awkward on field interviews prior to the opening kick too.

    It's what their touting as all access. They're able to interview players immediately after plays.

    One thing I have noticed is the hard push for gambling on the games. ABC yesterday had the over/under and line displayed in the scorebox. Fox announces the over/under which seems all games were 50 1/2 and Fox in some fashion controls the betting platform.

    The hard push for betting amd the constant mentioning of it throughout the games is a bit concerning.
