VIDEO: XFL's Replay Official Was Using an Xbox Controller to Review Plays
By Karl Rasmussen
The XFL is exciting for all sorts of reasons, particularly in the ways that its rules differ from the NFL. Well, one aspect the reboot league offers is full transparency on replay reviews. That resulted in cameras being placed inside the booth, where the replay official was seen using an Xbox controller to sift through the footage. Seriously.

For some reason, this just feels so fitting.
Robert Lu, the league's replay official, was communicating with the on-field officiating crew, all the while examining the play with a wired Xbox controller.
Hey, not all review systems have to be extremely technologically advanced. If it works, it works.
