@guardians bring in Luis Perez

 

Time for the best team in football to play

 

Well this aged poorly

 

Going to see my New York Football Guardians on Saturday. First time in my life I'm seeing them live. I came out of the womb wearing all Guardians gear and now, at the wonderful age of 27, I'll be able to see them live in person. Its going to be a beautiful saturday

 

not great

XFL sees further double-digit drops in viewership in Week 3

 

Honestly I am all footballed out by the time the super bowl is over. I like the break between that and the draft.

 

I legitimately did not think about the XFL for a split second this past weekend, hence me not watching it.

 

Hey guys I’m at the guardians game right now and I just wanted to say people are weird in bathrooms

 

Roughnecks, bitches

 

Landry Jones stinking in the xfl is expected

 

I was a big fan of the AAF and was bummed they didn’t get to finish out that season. I liked how non-NFL cities like Memphis, San Antonio, Orlando, and Birmingham got a team.

But I remember it being a pain in the ass trying to find what channel the games were on and there was basically no coverage or talk of it on sports networks. And when I did find the games, it was a bunch of nobodies calling it and the broadcast just seemed meh. The XFL seems to have found a way to generate more interest than the AAF ever did.

 

Roughnecks were winning regardless

Roughnecks, bitches

 

from F4WO:

Saturday --
The XFL's early game on ABC held its audience better than anything else this week, dropping just 0.7 percent. The game between the league-leading Houston Roughnecks and the Seattle Dragons averaged 1.547 million viewers. It did 496,000 viewers in the 18-49 category.

Ratings for the afternoon network shows are not available, but the XFL's total audience beat every other sports show on Saturday except for the other XFL game and an NCAA basketball game between North Carolina and Duke.

The afternoon XFL game aired on FOX and averaged 1.497 million viewers. That was down 16.9 percent from last week, but it's notable that the game aired directly opposite the aforementioned basketball game. The 531,000 viewers in 18-49 was good for second place on TV for all sports programming.

Sunday --
Both XFL games aired on cable on Sunday. The early game was on FS1 and averaged 767,000 viewers. That was down 23.6 percent from the previous game to air on the station and was the first game for the league to fall below one million viewers. The game did a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 category and finished 22nd overall on cable in that demo.

There was heavy sports competition on Sunday, including NBA basketball, multiple college basketball games, NHL hockey, PGA golf, and NASCAR.

The late game aired in primetime on ESPN and averaged 833,000 viewers. The 0.33 rating in 18-49 was good for fifth on the day on cable TV, but the overall number was down 43.4 percent from the last game to air on ESPN. That said, TV competition is much tougher on Sunday night with HBO as well as the major networks all having first-run programming.

 

Can't believe the AAF played more games than the XFL did.
