Kirby is not a good coach.

One would wonder if this was an alliterative thing a la the Memphis Maniax and the similarly oft-maligned Kippy Brown, although the fact that Brown had NFL and NCAA jobs long after XFL1.0 was history would be highly unfair to him, also having won a Super Bowl--oddly enough one of his Maniax (Paris Lenon) played in that game and was the last XFL1.0 player to stick in the NFL.

Kirby's just in his own Zorn-o-sphere, period.

FOX has the crowd noise cranked up on this one. Still no sign of the drones.

The pitfalls of having this and not MICH/TB or NO/NJ. Major flub here, it's like somebody fell in love with that ARW catch-fumble-TD (although he did have a few circus catches at UNC) and thought "This needs to be our counter game"

As one of the Pittsburgh writers put it, 'Wanna make this league stick? Keep the Maulers off of network TV' (and that was a week one recap)

I thought the Jeff Fisher led team would be the dodo.

The Maulers have proven me wrong.

That throw might have just woke everybody up

And then the two pointer was all 'oh yeah'
