Game Thread: Michigan Panthers (1-4) at Birmingham Stallions (5-0), Sat 21 May, 7:30 p.m. ET, NBC

[MGB01]

The league is lucking out that the Heat are routing the Celtics early, but can't continue play with fire here. Imagine if the Stallions weren't 5-0.

Oh and guess which show is waiting at 11:30? Hint, say hello to full-time running clocks (despite the fact that NBC has like two or three games left this year) with the backbone we have running this league

Ha! That brings me back to a Saturday night in 2001 where we watched the XFL go way overtime in Los Angeles, and delay the start of SNL's broadcast of their marquee guest J Lo. Legendary!

I was a fan of the more underrated bit the next week at halftime in LV: when Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon did an American Beauty skit while admonishing the league to end on time and Jesse snapped after it, "JR that's too ugly for even you to see!"

ahhh memories. You have to laugh at those times. Jesse Ventura was quite the character back then, and he was putting on a gimmick every time you saw him.

I met the Body - Tank will appreciate that I had him reverse his initial comment. Guy is legit.

I never got into XFL 1.0, too gimmicky for me at time. I did watch some though.

GOOD TD, T/O paid off. Another good game.

BO knows Birmingham TD..

That dive was a rocket launch, good play!

Love the T Formation Birmingham has been using! Maybe we’ll get the wishbone next week, or the wing t.. lol

Michigan letting the Stallions complete that totally impossible hail mary led to their ultimate demise in this game.

Whelp the national broadcast cut off with about 3 minutes left and went into some commercials and then into local news. Complete Bush league
