  1. As the Board's BattleHawk rep, the phone lines in St Louis are already lit up with the news of AJ's avaialbiity.  His contract with the Bengals precluded him from being rostered by any UFL team, but the BattleHawks retained their rights to him if he were available and expressed interest in playing.

     

    But as far at the team and fanbase are concerned, they're already welcoming him back with open arms.  AJ was, hand-down, the best player across both spring leagues, having him back would instantly launch St Louis into the #1 slot and make them the prohibitive favorites.

  2. Figure I'd share this random look at our future schedules:

     

    Game pairings based on prior end-of-year standings denoted with an *

     

    2024:

    HOME: BAL CFT PIT DEN LVR PHI WAS *NEP
    AWAY: BAL CFT PIT KCC LAC DAL NYG *TEN *CAR

     

    2025:

    HOME: BAL CFT PIT NEP NYJ CHI DET *AFCS-TBD *NFCW-TBD

    AWAY: BAL CFT PIT BUF MIA GBP MIN *AFCW-TBD

    .....if we play KCC due to finishing in the same positions in 2024, it'll be at Narrowhead again, but if we pair with TEN then at least - for once - we'll play in Cincy.

     

    2026:

    HOME: BAL CFT PIT JAX TEN NOS TBB *AFCW-TBD

    AWAY: BAL CFT PIT HOU IND ATL CAR *AFCE-TBD *NFCE-TBD

    ....only one game West of Indianapolis, and Houston really isn't "west" IMO.  Really nice travel schedule.... but we pay for it in 2027:

     

    2027:

    HOME: BAL CFT PIT KCC LAC ARI SFF *AFCS-TBD *NFCN-TBD

    AWAY: BAL CFT PIT DEN LVR LAR SEA *AFCE-TBD

    ...all but one of our non-division road games are in the Mountain or Pacific time zones, since the 3-year AFC and 4-year NFC rotations give us that once-in-twelve-years double-whammy of playing BOTH western divisions in the same season.

    Schedules subject to change if the NFL ditches their current scheduling formula, does a realignment, expands, or does anything else fucked-up.

  3. ^ btw - as y'all know, I'm a huge St Louis BattleHawks fan, and I loved attending XFL games during the 2020 and 2023 seasons.  As soon as things quiet down around here and the Vegas thing slides into the rear view mirror, expect me to start ramping up for the coming UFL season.

     

    To quote myself from the Fall of 2022:

     

    ".... If you ever get a chance to attend an XFL game I highly recommend it.  The players are working their tails off to get noticed by the NFL, the fans are passionate and fun, but the games are laid back because - frankly - it's minor league football.  Take in a game if you can.


    And if you wanna see it done right, go to St Louis.  Tickets and concessions and parking are all inexpensive, the games are extremely well-attended by loyal, passionate, and silly fans, and the atmosphere inside the Dome is amazing. Call me, we'll go together.  🙂


    Kaw Is The Law! ⚔️🏈"

    Nothing is ever going to shut the Yinzers traps…even if some franchise gets 10 rings. They will just say “we did it first!”. 
     

    Likely, State Farm or Subway or whatever other corporation is already tethered to Kermit Kelce-Swift for at least another full year regardless of what happens Sunday. And, for probably sound reasoning, they will continue to be a better eyeball draw on the telly as opposed to Brock Purdy. Heck, even St Joseph can’t get close to their draw. 
     

    For me, it’s still (and in reality) “don’t care”. But this is slightly flavored with my intrinsic dislike for anything Bay Area related. I do love NoCal…but that would be WAY farther up NoCal. Have no thoughts plus or minus as to KC and western MO.

     

    Well, I guess one of us has to be wrong.

     

    Glad you volunteered for it to be you.  :)

  5. Easy call for me.

     

    SFF

     

    This would give them 6 rings, drawing them even with NEP and the bandwagon, helping to shut the yinzer's mouths and setting up another team to pull past them down the road.

     

    Plus, I'm getting burned out on Taylor Swift, the resurgence of coverage of the Mahomes Family miscreants, and it'll start to ebb the number of commercials we have to watch with Mr Swift and/or Kermit in it. It's already too much, it needs to end. A KCC victory will only make everything in this paragraph worse and even more insufferable.

  6. I'm sorry, but I just don't care about the Pro Bowl.  Not in the former incarnation, not in the new "video game" incarnation.

     

    The players - if they're into it, then good for them!  I imagine the draw for them and their wives/family was stronger when it was hosted in Hawaii, since Orlando is such a Mickey Mouse town, but again.... if this is fun for them and they're all happy to be there, that's all that matters IMO.

    Melt down by Ravens fans on losing Macdonald and still having Harbaugh 😂  (click on top tweet to read their comments)

     

     

    If you listen to those Raven fans about McDonald, then what a fool believes might ring true. To be honest, I keep forgettin' what an impact he had, and he must be thinking it's sweet freedom to get that HC gig. He won't need to worry about offensive talent, the Hawks have enough skill there for him to be reelin' in the years of experience and get that long train runnin' behind Walker and Charbonnet while he uses his defensive skills to focus on that side of the game. Only a fool would say that, but any major dude would tell you McDonald will be like Kid Charlemagne there on the Seattle sideline.

     

    L.L.Bean!!

    Oh, regarding Sherman.  I hope Rikki don't lose that number 25 jersey.
