OT - 2023 Spring Football thread

XFL - Let’s try this again, shall we?

We started an article with that exact phrase in 2020, when we previewed the return of the XFL after two decades in stasis. And you know what? For a month, it was a lot of fun. Though viewership was beginning to trend off by the end of the season, XFL games were quick and exciting, in front of crowds of about 15,000 people, or even 20,000 in Seattle and St. Louis. Social media was fun and buzzy, and we saw a number of players who would go on to make minor impacts in the NFL, including Taylor Heinicke and P.J. Walker. Things were going quite well. We were enjoying it!

And then a global pandemic hit and the world shut down. The XFL was no more. Without games to play, the league quickly went bankrupt. Vince McMahon ended up selling the XFL to a consortium led by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson—got to keep it in the proverbial family, right?—and, after three years, we’re going to give this another shot.

The XFL will kick off its third season this Saturday, February 18, with games being broadcast on ABC, ESPN, FX, and FX2.

...

Of course, the spring football world is different than it was in 2020—the XFL is not alone. The USFL is also coming back, with their regular season kicking off on April 15 over on NBC and FOX.

OT - 2022 NFL thread Part II

Under the first proposal that was voted through, the AFC Championship will now be played at a neutral-site game if any of the three following scenarios are met:

Scenario 1: If Buffalo and Kansas City both win or both tie in Week 18, then a Buffalo vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.
Scenario 2: If the Bills and Chiefs both lose in Week 18 and Baltimore wins or ties with the Bengals, then a Buffalo vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.
Scenario 3: If Buffalo and Kansas City both lose and Cincinnati beats Baltimore, then a Bills or Bengals vs. Chiefs championship game would be at a neutral site.

NBA Post-Bubble offseason thread

I estimate only 10-12 Primates care about the NBA but we should have enough posters to fill out a mock draft regardless.

I estimate only 10-12 Primates care about baseball, and this thread is the only thing keeping this site alive.

OT - NBA thread (Playoffs through off-season)

I estimate only 10-12 Primates care about the NBA, and this one only cares about the NBA thread and the Cubs so I have no idea what the rest of the website cares about.

OT - NBA Thread (2018-19 season kickoff edition)

I estimate only 10-12 Primates care about the NBA, none of whom knew the old thread would get closed, thus detracting from what this site is really about: the baseball playoffs, maybe?
