GDT: 2024 UFL Thread

Missed the Renegades/Battlehawks game, sounds like it was good though. Sucks to start the season 0-2

I believe it.. I see how St Louis is embracing the Battlehawks. For a young franchise, they seem to have an intense fan base. It's good news for the (often fragile) prospect of spring/non-NFL football.
It's still strange to me how demoralized St Louis football fans became back in late 8os. I remember the Cards last game at a half-empty Busch.. seemed like fans barely cared they were leaving for Arizona. But that was probably largely a testament to what a terrible, and difficult owner B Bidwill was..

The Cardinals left right before I was born, but knowing how it felt when the Rams left, I can see why. It’s why I feel bad for Oakland A’s fan. Same shit.

Was this the guy who was like a walk-on tryout as an influencer?

Same guy. He finally gave kicking in real games a shot and got hurt. Was interested in seeing how he would fare kicking in real games when things are on the line.

playing the "safest" position and still ended up with a broken neck, that's pretty rough

Shows how rusty he was. Not how they teach tackling. Not sure how much training he did for his neck being out of real football for so long. Have to work those muscles to absorb the contact.

I'm watching the Defenders-Renegades game.
DC on the board first with a long FG. But the holder was the hero on this kick. A high snap, barely corralled, but then a perfect hold. Good work.

Paxton Brooks must've been the holder who saved the Defenders first FG.
Good reflexes, and holders don't get much notice or love (only criticism).. so props to him.

Michigan kicks a field goal to go up at halftime 12-11

Surprised how bad Houston’s defense looks. Going into the season I thought they might be one of the best

 

[Babe Ruth]

Mentioned during tonight's Stallions game, that (Birmingham's) Scooby Wright has retired mid-season.
This sucks, because he was one of the league's most interesting personalities. I guess Wright posted on social media recently that he's been dealing with serious neck pain.

Starting to regret picking Arlington as my team to follow

If SA beats DC, I imagine the XFL playoffs teams are set. USFL might be too with how badly the Boats are losing today, really thought that team would be better
