What To Watch On TV Today/This Weekend (With Current Betting Odds)

Football

XFL – That’s right, football is officially back. The second go-round for the XFL started last week and it didn’t disappoint. The standards were kind of low since the AAFL kinda sucked but the XFL was pretty entertaining all weekend. The only game I remember being a little dull was the game where Mark Trestman was calling the plays for one of the teams. Three out of four entertaining games aint bad. This weekend we’ve got another four football games to watch and hopefully Mark Trestman won’t fuck it up again. Not likely , though. Odds courtesy of Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.
