FOX if you're serious about the league being a thing (the first clue will be how much it's mentioned at the upfronts on Monday), get to $#@! market (with the Stallions moved to Austin or wherever) already and go from there. It ain't happening here.
Stallions moved to Austin? Where did that come from?

But I have to agree with this first statement - There was no reason for a 45 minute delay. 15 minute warm up? They should have been warming up. With no MLB NY games and rain in the NE/NY area - this game was primed for massive (well v good) rating. Stupid decision. 15-20min total delay was max needed. Hurt themselves there.

Weather delay did not do this game any favors as far as hype is concerned. It forced me to take a nap :D

New Jersey just scored a field goal to make it 27-17 for the Breakers. Just over 4 mins left in the 4th quarter.

Darius Victor approaching 100 yards running for the Generals. He won't get it because the Generals are now in victory formation. Looks like they won 27-17.

And the crowd noise gives an appreciative cheer.

So long as fans show for stallions games and the city gives the league a great deal which it is for another 2 years keep the stallions in Birmingham. But I wouldn’t hate the Gamblers going to Austin if the XFL has a Houston team, hate the thought of splitting a market between two leagues

Agreed. Same.

Hell of a win for NJ - they are getting better each week.

The good news is NJ won with+3 and the game was well OVER the 37 o/u spread.
