Yeah, I was hoping the Vipers would be decent since they're the 'local' team, but they look pretty awful so far. Makes me wonder how they determined game and championship favorites as they were favored in both games so far and for the title. Seems like Trestman might be trying to get too cute with all the QB swapping.
I feel like DC, Houston, and St. Louis are some of the stronger teams at the moment.

I don't think anyone has gone into the thing thinking they will compete with the NFL. I mean, you can't take cast-offs and people that never 'made the cut' and expect to roll over the big dogs. Anyone expecting NFL competition or caliber play is going to be disappointed. Think of it more along the lines of AAA vs the Majors. It's a place where potentially less talented players can play ball, make some money, and maybe work their way into the NFL. It's also a place where they can work with the rules more freely and help evolve the game from certain standpoints of safety and even situational play calling with things like the extra point attempts and kickoffs (no surprise onside kicks, for example).

I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is he's a certified idiot.
Question for the pro-transgender, gender fluid, anyone can be whatever they want to be, people out there: Should a male be granted a combat license to enter a MMA fight to pummel females because he 'identifies' as a woman?
