From what I've seen it's surprisingly good. Don't know if it'll keep up but it looks as though they've learned from the first attempt and decided to avoid any wrestling gimmicky crossover and just market an alternative league

Where is it being shown?

Bt sport have it on I have watched a little bit of it.

Meant to be a good watch as well. Any major differences with NFL rules?

If it can survive (all the other versions haven't) it has some positives.
If teams can establish themselves and build squads could improve. Don't think anything is going to work if you have wholesale changes in personnel every season.
Like the quicker play clocks.
Catch rules are interesting.
Kick off and punt rules have potential.
Point after rules a bit too gimmicky.

Watching now, but a bit disappointed it is all the same cities again pretty much. Would be great to see some franchises without an NFL team already.

Think there is only St. Louis without a team isn't there.

Guess it’s the easiest transition to an established football market. Imagine if this season goes well they will add teams and pay better salaries.
When I got there they gave everyone a team sheet and a terrible towel which was a nice touch.

Wouldn't you have preferred a much nicer towel instead?

Wouldn’t seem as authentic from a league playing second fiddle

How entertaining is it compared to the CFL?

I'm enjoying it. Haven't watch Canadian football for years.

Is it shown anywhere in the UK I wonder.

Does the end zone still stretch from Montreal to Ottawa?

Most boring sport in the world

That's the spirit

I struggle to watch the CFL or the MLS for that matter both feel way too slow. Just like the fact in the XFL they walk you through contentious decisions step by step. They did the right thing not trying to rival the NFL.

CFL slow, but you watch NFL?

Vince McMahon is having a great week, first this and now currently firing all his wrestlers and then there's a documentary about the time he helped hush up a murder.

Not heard about that, is that to do with Snuka? You don't have to dig very hard to find all sorts of dirt on McMahon, amazing he's never ended up in jail.

Yeah, it's called Dark side of the ring on Vice channel. They've got one coming up about Owen Hart,so he should come off great there too, continuing a show in a ring they just had to clear a dead body from
