The final XFL game of the weekend – between St. Louis and Dallas – hasn’t exactly been one the best football games ever played but it’s the second weekend of February and football is on TV so I guess that’s good enough.
Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee has had sideline duties for ESPN in this game and he’s at least been able to keep things entertaining while the teams try to figure out a way to score points.
One of those times came when St. Louis punter Marquette King (formerly of the Raiders) had a perfect punt that landed inside the 2 yard line… only to have it ruined by a teammate who slid into the end zone with it.
McAfee almost had a heart attack:

He then interviewed the player – Steve Beauharnais – who ruined that punt:

Now that is some pretty good stuff.
Fans loved it:
“I’m gonna go talk to that guy that ruined a perfect punt.”

XFL is great

Pat McAfee being on the call for that punt flub is A+ TV.
He even got to talk to the guy who dove on the ball minutes later on the field. This is great.

@PatMcAfeeShow Why did you ruin a perfect punt?
“I thought the returner touched it”
