I am watching it. Just made my 1st bet over 50.5 in LA Houston game. Not bad at all. D backs need some work from the 1st game. But very fun to watch.

Watched some. They got the spread and the O/U posted on the scoreboard and screen...lol

I wish I could wager it has zero chance of making it.

I dont see $ being an issue. Vince is loaded.

I knew that’s exactly what you’d come back with...

Yes, Vince is loaded, but he doesn’t have the funds to back 8 teams like the NFL does, that’d be like $20B. And if he was dumb enough to do that over the next 2 years, all the NFL would do is up the ante...

He’s fighting a losing battle from the start. Top that off with he wants to make it a toned down game like the NFL instead of crazy drama and stuff like wrastlin’, it ain’t gonna Work...

Where are these games played? Is it like indoor? Is it a 100 yard field?

I think their best shot at viability would be to really play up the gambling angle somehow.
Thinking lots of free daily fantasy contests and sponsored ATS or pick'em contests. Give people free skin in the game.

They should, it’s obviously based around gambling, they keep the spread and O/U up the entire game...lol

I dislike the term zero chance, so I’m gonna renig on that and give it .1% instead...

They even had the coordinators mic’d up for play calling. How long before that gets relayed to the opponent.

It’s trying really hard to be cool and different, but technically it’s gonna get beat down like the red headed step child of the NFL that it is...

I'm going to the DC game next weekend. Looking forward to it. I think it has a shot to make it; they're in no way trying to compete w/ the NFL, tickets are affordable, ESPN is involved, there's a lot of backers, the salaries aren't out of control/unrealistic. I think it'll end up being a good developmental league and the NFL could buy a stake.

I really enjoyed watching the two games yesterday. ESPN, ABC, FOX, FS1 are all broadcasting the games, I don't think $$ will be an issue for awhile. The players looked way better then I was expected-- seemed well coached and everyone was trying. They are not competing with the NFL at all...I hope the NFL buys in and tries to create something like baseball has with the minor leagues. That Walker kid could really throw it!! Can't wait for the first player to get a shot on a NFL team.

I did see a few times guys lowering their heads and making big hits, a few were scary-- obviously need to clean that up to prevent major injuries.
