This won't stay in the Fan Zone long but I thought it would be good to provide a link to an article that explains several of the differences in rules between the NFL and XFL.

I don't even know who's playing in the XFL. Sign Dez and I might look into it....

When the product isn't that good then you better improve the pace of play. No one wants to watch a bad game that drags on and on.

Smart, they seem to be hitting on the fans' biggest complaint about the NFL.

At times it gets way too bogged down with everything but gameplay. Less commercials, flags and huddling is a big win for me.

I like what I am reading it will be fun to watch specially the multi scoring options idea after a touchdown.
I wish they change the logo I don't like it

That was the Arena League's gimmick. Fast and lots of scoring.
They ended up losing, in the end, although they lasted longer than anyone trying to do the same thing.

I like it so far. I'm glad Jones is on Dallas. I thought he looked pretty good with the stealers. I wanted him as a back up on the cowboys.

Its a good league but these reporters are beyond annoying

Some of the rules are interesting, but they have too many gimmicks in things also.
I do not like they only have 2 TO’s per half. Those type of things they make different just to be different. That is not always good. But I guess it makes it more strategic..

Maybe but with game clock always running the pacing is faster. Sometimes i think NFL coaches think they have an eternity, how many times is a TO wasted due to play clock expiring.

They don't need 3 TO's with the ways the final 2 minutes in each half is set up.

Hopefully they'll listen to feed back from the fans regarding this, because it seems like most fans are annoyed with it.
