Just watched the latest 30 for 30 doco .... 'This Was the XFL' and it was very good.  The league ultimately only lasted 1 year but a number of the innovations used in that 1 season are being used by the NFL today. 

Overall the show highlighted an intriguing snap-shot of how the Americans go about things ... the doco is being repeated on ESPN on Sunday night (8.30pm) and is well worth a look.

Here's the trailer ...

    My heart says Atlanta but my head says the Patriots ... (plus, I want to win the post-season tipping comp)

    New England 28  Atlanta 25

    The Pats will need to be beaten which sounds obvious but they won't ordinarily make enough errors to lose.  In other words, the Falcons are going to have to play lights out in order to win.

    But for your sake JV, I hope I'm wrong.

    Good luck on Monday!

    Falcons go out to a 14 - 0 lead and playing very well in all facets.

    Couple of holding penalties but Atlanta are settled and switched on

    This is gonna be hard for the Pats to come back. Atlanta can just play the effective run game and hold onto the ball.

    That's a bad error by Brady but a terrific interception by Alford all the same ... now 21 - 0

    Falcons all over them

    Can not believe this... Brady pick 6 for a 21-0 lead... This defense is on fire! Still nervous though

    Holding the Pats to a field goal there was immense ... 21-3 is so much better than 21-7

    As cfh said,  look to see Atlanta's running game in operation in the 2nd half

    Just now, Gorgoroth said:

    Edelman has dropped so many tonight, it's strange he usually is so good.

    He should have watched been watching Lady Gaga at half time ... nice catch at the end of her performance

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
