A total of nine officials on the field, one of whom will be dedicated solely to spotting the ball to minimize downtime between plays. XFL head of officiating Dean Blandino said most XFL officials have experience at the Division I college level. Blandino, the former NFL officiating chief, has been consulting with the XFL for more than a year. He performed a similar function for the Alliance of American Football (AAF) last spring.

A video official who can intervene on significant non-reviewable plays when involving player safety, or on any calls inside of five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. There will also be booth-initiated reviews of traditionally reviewable plays using Hawk-Eye technology that ingests video directly from the broadcast truck.

Allowing offensive linemen to be up to 2 yards downfield when a pass is thrown, with the hope of minimizing flags on run-pass option plays.

A series of tweaks that the XFL hopes will cap game times at 2 hours, 45 minutes. (NFL games typically run about 3:06.) The tweaks include a running game clock that won't stop after incomplete passes or when players go out of bounds, except inside of two minutes in each half. Additionally, there will be a 10-minute halftime, two timeouts per team per half and no coin tosses. The home team will always make the choice to kick, receive or defer to start the game. The visitors will make that choice to start overtime.

XFL RULES

A kickoff designed to discourage touchbacks and increase the likelihood of a return: The ball will be kicked off from the 30-yard line, but the coverage and blocking teams will line up at the receiving team's 35- and 30-yard lines, respectively. Only the kicker and returner can move until the ball is caught, or three seconds after it hits the ground. A touchback will be spotted at the 35-yard line. Kicks out of bounds will go to the 45-yard line.

Players can't leave the line of scrimmage on punts until after the kick. Any kicks that go into the end zone or out of bounds will be marked at the 35-yard line or wherever the ball went out of bounds, whichever is better for the receiving team. The idea is to discourage fair catches and "coffin corner" kicks, while providing more incentive to go for it on fourth down.

Three options after scoring a touchdown: a 1-point play from the 2-yard line, a 2-point play from the 3-yard line or a 3-point play from the 10-yard line. There is no option to kick an extra point.

A shootout-style overtime: Each team will get five single-play possessions from the 5-yard line. If the game is still tied at that point, the rotating possessions will continue until there is a winner. The XFL hopes that overtimes will be rare, in part because of the multiple options for points after touchdowns.

A rule that allows two forward passes on one play, providing the first doesn't go past the line of scrimmage. The purpose is to encourage creative trick plays without the risk of losing possession of a lateral or backward pass, which is a live ball if it hits the ground.

A requirement for only one foot to be in bounds for possession. XFL director of football operations Sam Schwartzstein said the change is easier to officiate quickly. It also is better for player safety, Schwartzstein said, because players take more unbraced falls while trying to place both feet in bounds.

Trump's family isn't running in 2024, that strikes me as a fantasy of the left that everyone else us totally okay with laughing about. He ain't a Bush.

People (including me) said the same thing about peoples concern about Trumps poll numbers in 2015

Although I agree with you; they probably wont run, because hell be gearing up for a third term.

He was killing American soldiers (people who volunteer expecting they could be killed) and thousands more defenseless Syrian, Iraqi, and Iranian civilians. He escalated things by attempting to kill American civilians at the embassy, so we took him out.

Who do you think is going to suffer? Iran is just chest-beating at this point. Believing that they will actually retaliate and cause anyone harm comes across to me as whiny anxiety.

So Soleimani was the only guy in Iran capable of threatening Americans?

We had to kill this guy because he was killing innocents and was planning to kill more
and
Iran is incapable of retaliation

Seem pretty incongruent otherwise

It's very amusing to see all of you cowards fearing reprisal from a feeble nation like Iran of all places. Trump could nuke Tehran tomorrow and there would be zero chance that you or anyone you know would be harmed, save for professional soldiers who are already in a warzone.

Go watch a Stallone movie and be inspired.

So, if Osama Bin Laden is orchestrating planes into World Trade Centers we should just stand idly by if he is a member of the Pakistani Government?

Is there no action between standing idly by and assassination?
