Some interesting rules being rolled out here.

Not sure if I love the running clock idea, but it could work out well so games move quicker. The kicking game changes seem pretty cool too.

XFL makes its own rules, with focus on speed

The XFL, which kicks off its season on Feb. 8, announced a number of rule changes to the conventional football approach, with a focus on increasing pace of play and adding excitement.

I definitely like the idea of the games being faster paced.

I like the sound of faster games, too. I'm going to go to the first DC Defenders home game. DC Defenders fan for life (or until the league folds in a month).

I want to see that overtime rule. I always loved college footballs OT.

Seems interesting, be nice to watch something the week after the super bowl.

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.

The yardages seem to short but then I remember the state of kicking in the NFL

But there's no kicking on those plays so it seems right to me. A 20 yard play would rarely get completed.

The spacing of those yardages seems off. I bet very few (if any) coaches will go for a 1-point play from the 2, when you can get 2 points by going for a 3-yard play instead. It should've been 1 point at the 2, 2 points at the 5, and 3 at the 10.

I would have preferred the one point play from the 1 and the rest be the same.

Either way, will be interesting to see in practice.

What are the chances of Brock Lesnar being a surprise last minute draft pick but only working championship matches?

I didn't get a chance to watch any of the games. How was the quality of play?
