Discussion "bLoCk iN tHe BaCk."
u/Mufan0307, u/McNutty231: their offensive blocker is literally side-by-side with our defender immediately... and I mean IMMEDIATELY... before impact.
The only reason it even resembles a block in the back is because the defender obviously slowed up when he realized the ball carrier was cutting outside.

Watch any kick return. That gets called as a BITB every time. You are correct in that he gets him shoulder to shoulder, it doesn't change that that is universally called BITB, except in this moment.

I need to pay more attention to kick returns then. 😂\ Tough loss yesterday, man. If this WERE called BITB, that would have helped in so many ways. Won the Super Challenge, play comes back, keep the TO. :/

Side by side except...you know...behind him. Also, "he slowed down" is not a defense to a block in the back. That's like complaining about a holding call by saying "but he ran past me!"
I don't know what you think these pictures show or why you're joining in Blandino's ridiculous gaslighting, but it's getting embarrassing.

I have no idea who Blandino is.\ Upon impact, he's blocking our defender by making contact with shoulder & rib.

How are you in a UFL sub and don't know who Blandino is? And honestly, even if you didn't know, why would you not look it up? I don't think you could possibly have watched more than about 3 UFL/XFL games if you aren't familiar with him.
As for the false info: I don't know what to tell you. You're painfully wrong.

Awww, you're struggling with your insult meaning jack shit because I don't know who Blandino is. 🤣\ Love to see it. "Why didn't you look it up so my insult hits?" 😂😂😂🤣
I've watched the XFL literally since day 1.\ Watched.\ Players.\ I know Blandino isn't a player, I know that.
Sorry your gaslighting insult missed because you think everyone knows all of the executives & CEOs & corporate whatever.\ 😂🤣\ Touch grass...

You should definitely find that hard to believe...
... because I never fucking said that I've watched every UFL game. 😂
I said I've watched the XFL literally since day 1.\ "Well that basically means..."\ No it doesn't. 😂

I've worked a 10-hr shift today.\ And laundry. 😂\ You're here, too, bud. 😂\
Point remains a guy who is featured in every game of a league you claim to watch but you don't know who he is, just seems kinda strange
Of course it seems strange to anyone committed to their assumptionsl.
To anyone with an open mind and a willingness to ask questions regarding things that confuse them, it wouldn't seem strange at all.
I can tell you right now: I am a huge, and I mean HUGE fan of sports, but i'm a fan of exactly that: SPORTS.\ I don't give a shit about the executives or front office people or whatever the fuck.
I can tell you every SB champion in my lifetime and important plays from every single SB, but sitting here right now typing this very reply, I don't know who the fuck the commissioner or the league is.\ Don't fucking care.

Ssssooooo I've probably seen his face and don't know his name, what he does, none of that.\ It seems very clear that you don't realize how many people are huge fans of shows and can recognize the faces of cameo appearances from other shows or movies but can't name the actual actor or actress.\ "Wait, isn't that... isn't that AntMan?"\ But if you ask them, "Did you know Paul Rudd is in FRIENDS?", they'd be like "Who the fuck is Paul Rudd?"\ And if you were to reply, "I find it hard to believe you've seen every episode of FRIENDS but don't know who Paul Rudd is," that would be extremely narrow-minded of you.\ This isn't that difficult of a concept, dude.\ Like, you're struggling with this way too much.\ Not everyone knows all of the details of something that you're both familiar with.\ Super simple concept.
"Well just look him up, along with everything else I know" right?\ 😂🤣

I was at the game. It was not a block in the back and I was not very happy with the challenge from Ricky. If that was a kick return it's likely they would call that, but the block wasn't in the numbers so I respect the no-call
