4 hours away is considered next door in America mate.

Anywhere but the northeast, yeah, kinda.

Dude I live in PA.  You can be in the middle of PA, drive 8 hours in any direction and still be in PA.  4 hours is basically a quick drive down the street

That's false. I just about literally live in the center of PA (Snyder county, an hour north of Harrisburg). It's probably about 6 hours and you can still be in PA thanks to Erie 😛😂

But his point is so accurate. Philadelphia is my hometown team, I go out there often to catch Union games. It's a 3-4 hour drive, depending on how bad the traffic is around Philly that day/time

Fuck that.

I’ll only be an hour or so away from the Jags stadium though, we’re planning to go to a couple next season. Mainly because I’d like to see an NFL game in person. 

There doesn’t seem to be any NHL action near me, balls. Some third tier team is closest.

And miss out on the adverts?!

Don't they wheel big screens onto the field for the live crowd?

There are a lot of small states in the Northeast.  Upstate NY and Pennsylvania take up a bunch of space, but if you're along 95 - it's a new state every two hours or less, traffic dependent.

I live in Rhode Island, where anything over 45 minutes is considered a road trip.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, Delaware is the same. From north to south, it's about an hour and a half, but if you go east to west, even in the wider part of the state, it only takes about 30 minutes. 

That said, if you're in Delaware, you're likely at least two hours away from anything interesting, besides the beach.

30 minutes in LA traffic is not the same as 30 minutes in Delaware traffic, depending on where you are trying to get to, 30 minutes can be 45 miles, or it could be 15.

Delaware isn't real, that's why.

Delaware is a myth. Just like Canada and good tasting chicken jerky.

Former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is returning to coaching as the head coach and general manager of the Dallas-based franchise in the new XFL league.

[Meacon Keaton]

Big Game Bob!

[GhostMachine]

Yeah. I'm stunned on this, bigtime!

 

[Lineker]

Jim Zorn has been named the head coach and GM of the Seattle franchise.

[completeunknown]

The only thing I remember about the old XFL was that I ended up going to the same school as He Hate Me. Oh, and the coin-toss substitute race for the ball that got everyone hurt.

[GhostMachine]

Lol. Rod Smart was my favorite XFL player. But all I really remember now was him, the ball scramble, and that commercial with the cheerleaders in the locker room.

Here's hoping the new version has better uniform designs and actually uses real sports announcers. Because I highly doubt anyone wants Corey Graves or Michael Cole calling the games.

The XFL on Monday announced multiyear agreements with ESPN and Fox Sports to televise games starting with its inaugural 2020 season. XFL games will air weekly on broadcast TV (ABC and Fox) complemented by games on cable (ESPN, ESPN2, FS1 and FS2). The XFL's TV schedule will feature back-to-back games each Saturday at 2 p.m. ET and two games on Sunday afternoons.

That's a wayyyyy better TV deal than what the AAF had.
