I'd rather put a campfire out with my face.

I used to watch NFLE games...

I might need help.

Well at least with NFLE you could target Viking "farm" players to watch. If they could reformulate the XFL so that it works like a farm system for the NFL, they'd get a lot more people to watch. I mean I'd definitely tune in if it meant I could watch Brandon Dillon, Aviante Collins, Jake Browning, etc. But it doesn't work that way.  I'm sure the CBA prevents it. I think the Vikings ended up signing two or three of the best XFL players last year and I don't think any of them stuck.

Happily, I'm from a family of gearheads and will be following several series' of car racing to get me through to the 2020 NFL season.  The Daytona 500 may be two weeks away, but there's a non-points race along with qualifying this coming weekend, then the qualifying races next Thursday, followed by the 500 itself next Sunday.

That gets things rolling for a bit, then Formula 1 gets going...and so on.

I used to love stock car racing when a Dodge was a Dodge....

So, I guess an XFL fantasy league is out of the question.
