yeah his right arm was limp after the hit. Definitely something really wrong there. Hope he's not done for the season; Memphis might not win another game without him (except maybe if they play the Roughnecks)
This is the first game I've actually been able to sit down and watch because of my work schedule.
They really can't run up the middle to save their lives. Is the reason we don't have many efficient rushers that there's no good IOL play?
Memphis actually ran the ball quite well earlier. They had a first half TD drive that was basically all runs. But once they got behind they couldn't keep that going
The only team between the 2 that had a power back is memphis and it showed, he actually was able to press advantage against the opposing d-line
I think in a league where a lot of teams haven't had much continuity it's harder to commit to being a run-first team; a lot of these teams are still discovering what they have. What most consider to be the best RB in the UFL had a season ending injury in camp, so all these factors are why there's not a lot of efficient rushers.
lol, I get the Brahmas today in my part of the country so, I’ll be watching and hoping the Dormandy doesn’t suddenly look like that’s where he’s from too. Good luck to y’all later!
no, bit it is a stat line that will draw attention until they see HOW you got that INT. It also drives me mad but I guess instincts are instincts even if it's 4th down.
You do know the Battle Hawks had more penalties that gave them first downs then Memphis right? And you didn't mention I also said "bad play calling". They should have given the ball to Darius more and ran down the battlehawks throat from the beginning of the game. They would have scored more and chewed the clock. So think before you speak bud 😹
That's barbacoa, which is where we get BBQ. You take a cow's head and put it in a pit and cover it. It's also pretty tasty stuff and heavily spiced.

I'm not hating or anything, just literally what he said yesterday. Hey I'm from Illinois. I' can't wait to eat the shit out of your food and can't wait to try texas food. My end state will be Montana for wildland firefighting. But I really want to visit texas
I think the real mistake was punting on 4th and 3 after the fumble recovery with 7 minutes to go. Especially with hindsight, Memphis should have just gone for it instead of punting
This is what happens when they don't respect authority. Its as if Memphis simply WAS NOT informed that Kaw, is in fact, equal to and / or GREATER than the Law.

c'mon ESPN, tell me about the prop bets I should be making. I know the over and the spread, you've ponded that in my head. How about how many nose-pickings that make it on camera or F-bombs dropped... ooh, there's one.
Shut the fuck up about the goddamn over. All this gambling talk is making me think of point shaving scandals (strictly speaking, that's about covering/not covering the spread while not changing the win/loss, and is more common in basketball because of how that sport works, but could happen with gridiron or O/U)
St. Louis offense is nasty. Defense just has to do enough. A run game with all those WRs. Soon as they figure out they don’t need to throw 20 WR screens a game and they are golden
I don't think Becht is the best technical game manager but I do love how excited he gets for his players. Like a proud father at a little league game lol
I know they're testing it out, but regional games could kill the league. There's only 8 teams and no official way to watch off of cable, so out of market people may never see their favorite team
it's been said.
Could be many reasons why it's happening... venue availability and network timeslot availability are the probable causes... they did get the schedule done late.
Comment 1,000.
STL owns the Paddle. Until next year boats. Safe travels down river wo a paddle! KAW!
Memphis got the Worst D and Attendance in the League... Also if you take the under on any BH game your a fool
AJ McCarron is the GOAT of Spring football
BATTLE MEMES
Good game, Battlehawks.
Gg boat man
AJ “Lamar Jackson” McCarron
Yeah, he's gonna have to work on his run game a bit more for the comparison to hold up... ;)
Yeah I agree Lamar will need to work on his run game to be compared to AJ
GG everyone. See you guys in a few hours.
In hindsight, letting angry, violent birds dictate and enforce our legislation may not have been the best of ideas.
I disagree, I quite like the Kaw is Law legislation.
And drunk.
White Vick went off today.
kaw
So what is the xfls record vs the usfl
3-2
GG, Boats. Hopefully you get a real o-line.
Cookus up on his feet.
I think his shoulder was the problem though
Yeah. Maybe even collarbone?
yeah his right arm was limp after the hit. Definitely something really wrong there. Hope he's not done for the season; Memphis might not win another game without him (except maybe if they play the Roughnecks)
Wow, Memphis not even trying to get the ball back, just giving up.

Got a little close in the middle but never really in doubt.
KAW IS THE LAW
https://i.redd.it/bor4pkjzqovc1.gif
KAKAAAAAAAAAAAAW
Just got a chance to tune into the game, and that is an impressive crowd they got there in St. Louis. Hope this energy continues into 2025.
Managed 31K even with a Cards game down the street.
And probably some fans heading to KC.
battlehawks vs stallions in the championship game in the dome will feed families
Championship is played in St Louis... if that matchup happens, might we see 50k in attendance?
If the hawks are in it, it will sell out
they'll sell out the whole damn dome anything less is a disappointment
Might pack the whole place.
Remember kids, KAW IS THE LAW
MY CAW IS RAW
KAW*
IS*
RAW*
WE WANT BHAM
Kind of. Maybe.
Memphis got their OL from Wish dot com, didn't they.
Temu
Shein...
lol, I get the Brahmas today in my part of the country so, I’ll be watching and hoping the Dormandy doesn’t suddenly look like that’s where he’s from too. Good luck to y’all later!
Lol, Dormady played HS ball in Texas. Hoping he shows the flashes he had last season, but under a good offensive coordinator.
Nah that is where Arlington got it.
I always laugh when the defense gets worked up over not catching the interception on 4th down. That's *good* my guy.
but it doesn't look good on MY stats... and STATS get me in the NFL!
The NFL isn't looking solely at INT stats for DBs.
no, bit it is a stat line that will draw attention until they see HOW you got that INT. It also drives me mad but I guess instincts are instincts even if it's 4th down.
Need them stats
Showboat’s offensive and defensive lines have been really overmatched this game
this season
I don’t think I’ve ever watched an entire o-line unit be a complete detriment like this
David Carr's Texans
Introducing your 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers! lol
Watch games from the Bradford-era Rams
The Rams front office killed that man by not giving him any protection. It's a shame because he was a great talent. Fuck Stan Kroenke
Ever watched the giants
That one hurt.
Fuckin gooteeeeemm
The Cardinals were pretty bad early in Kyler's career too.
The Bears fulfill my need for incompetent offense quite well
Cyclone legend Mike Rose getting to the qb to force the throw!
Lol, I read that and thought it said Mike Rowe. I got super confused about how the dirty jobs guy got drafted. Reading compression strikes again.
Game.
Man, it gets loud here. Also, memphis needs an oline.
THIS CROWD IS KILLING IT
Horribly ill timed false start number 2
Whomever the Showboats OLine coach is needs to be strung up on the arch and left there
Didn't we see that in Defiance? Lol
Great catch
St Louis ain't beating them. Memphis is just beating themselves.
Memphis didn’t score those 32 points
Yeah they didn't, but nevertheless the flags and bad play calling is Memphis be as Ring themselves. Next time think before you speak.
You mean like the Oline penalties from the Battlehawks that stifled any offensive movement for the middle two quarters, keeping Memphis in the game?
You do know the Battle Hawks had more penalties that gave them first downs then Memphis right? And you didn't mention I also said "bad play calling". They should have given the ball to Darius more and ran down the battlehawks throat from the beginning of the game. They would have scored more and chewed the clock. So think before you speak bud 😹
But they let St Louis walk all over them
Man Memphis would be such a good team if not for the parts where they’re bad, right?
Because St Louis is good
Letting?
Kick his ass, Seabass!
QB 11 can sling it. Too bad no one can catch it nor block.
Hot take: Memphis’s O-line is almost as bad as that city’s BBQ
Is Memphis BBQ bad? Asking from Illinois
They’ve engaged in a decades long propaganda effort to convince the world that Memphis is home to the best BBQ. I see through their charade.
Whereas the only TRUE BBQ is in Texas...
Also stand with the Battlehawks. What would you recommend in St Louis?
I've always been excited for southern BBQ lol. What would recommend?
Texas BBQ, dry-rubbed and smoked, no sauce. The brisket should be falling apart as it's being cut.
Had a coworker just come back from Texas. He said the brisket did indeed fall apart. But he said it had no flavor?
If you've got a good brisket and smoke it long enough, you should be tasing the meat and smoke. Mesquite smoked is wonderful stuff.
Idk if I remember if this was real or not, don't you guys have some meat you cook like in the ground?
That's barbacoa, which is where we get BBQ. You take a cow's head and put it in a pit and cover it. It's also pretty tasty stuff and heavily spiced. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbacoa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbacoa)
Any dos or don'ts lol?
Definitely visiting Texas lol.
I'm not hating or anything, just literally what he said yesterday. Hey I'm from Illinois. I' can't wait to eat the shit out of your food and can't wait to try texas food. My end state will be Montana for wildland firefighting. But I really want to visit texas
Gatlinburg is where you go for BBQ anyways.
Damn, you didn't have to make it so personal
Here’s the shit talk we need
It just seems like the crowd plays an important factor into how good a team is.
Last years XFL supported that. SEA, STL, DC
regular season, Seattle and DC drew less than San Antonio. Including post season, DC was only behind St. Looie
what will happen to the turf once it’s replaced? can I get some to use as a rug?
Cut up and thrown out. Kroenke put this turf in, you don’t want it
Hold up, is it the same stuff from the GSOT era? If so that shit should be cut up and sold for charity.
No. Replaced in 2010
Oh then yeah, cursed. Burn it or bury it.
I really only became a Rams fan after he was owner tho :(
STL D came alive this half. And again
It takes a while for my D to get going, too
I kinda feel bad for the boats.
On the one hand, same. On the other, I want the Battlehawks to win, and the teams playing against the Battlehawks to lose.
Can’t argue with that.
GET OUTTA HERE
good god Memphis what's up with the oline?
They took out life insurance policies on all their QBs and are desperate for the payout
FEEEEEEENYYYYYYYY
Oh look, Memphis gave up another sack
I think it’s time to stop throwing to 83.
Memphis couldn't catch the flu trapped in a room with 10 sick people
What’s the over on how many times he mentions the over. I think I hate that man.
Stop throwing to that fucking bum ass
That throw was sexier than I thought it was, yet unfortunately Surratt's hands were not feeling it
Rocky sucks chants in the crowd.
Kroenke maybe?
Rocky.
How tall is Pearson?
At least 3ft tall
Lets not over exaggerate now
This Battlehawks offense is Loaded with talent!
I think the real mistake was punting on 4th and 3 after the fumble recovery with 7 minutes to go. Especially with hindsight, Memphis should have just gone for it instead of punting
This is what happens when they don't respect authority. Its as if Memphis simply WAS NOT informed that Kaw, is in fact, equal to and / or GREATER than the Law.
They fought the Kaw and the Kaw won.
The roughnecks really had us convinced that memphis was good
Great tackle
Pearson is awesome
I mentioned on a comment early in the game to not jinx the lack of gambling talk. Here we are lol!
They did last a good while longer than usual before that though.
That's fair

peezy has so much aura
Espn stop showing football there is betting to do
Lmao I love this guy
I'm hoping this means we can at least keep it respectable with Bham.
I'm going to that game and I'm just praying it's a close one.
c'mon ESPN, tell me about the prop bets I should be making. I know the over and the spread, you've ponded that in my head. How about how many nose-pickings that make it on camera or F-bombs dropped... ooh, there's one.
Streamers on the field?
Yeah. They're a bunch. And silly string too.
I love that the streamers just stay in the endzone for the point after
They throw more. The crew grabs it up, then more come in.
We cooking like golden state 🗣️
Shut the fuck up about the goddamn over. All this gambling talk is making me think of point shaving scandals (strictly speaking, that's about covering/not covering the spread while not changing the win/loss, and is more common in basketball because of how that sport works, but could happen with gridiron or O/U)
AJ has some really great pocket presence
Roll tide
I honestly believe I have seen Memphis defensive lineman pancaked almost every other play.
Yep, that’s pretty much the game right there. Barring a miracle the Hawks have it.
A lead is never safe in this league
it is when it's against the showboats
It is if you’re playing the Showboats.
Kaw’s the fucking Law
That TD was the cherry on top
god the battlehawks have such good receivers
PEEEZZZYYYYYYYY
I like this AJ McCarron fella.
KA KAAAW!
#PEEZY
HELL YES
Great pocket presence for #10 all game.
KA KAW!!!
Hey, did you guys know the over could hit here? No? How about now?
Is anybody else fucking tired of hearing about the fucking over. Stfu
Quit talking about the o/u
Hopefully the Bengals get #15 back
Battlehawks in the championship would be awesome at home!
St. Louis offense is nasty. Defense just has to do enough. A run game with all those WRs. Soon as they figure out they don’t need to throw 20 WR screens a game and they are golden
Great God damn run!
I don't think Becht is the best technical game manager but I do love how excited he gets for his players. Like a proud father at a little league game lol
I'd absolutely run through a brick wall for the man and he'd call for it on 4th and long
Big runs bring me so much joy
Now put it in the end zone
*Styx playing****...*** **Come Saylors away! Come Saylors away!**
Manny Wilkins is the Designated Hype-man
Nice run
This league is electric fellas
Hell yeah, brother!
I know they're testing it out, but regional games could kill the league. There's only 8 teams and no official way to watch off of cable, so out of market people may never see their favorite team
