Did anyone else see this? The NFL Network will be airing the American Flag Football League starting June 30th. My favorite team is going to be the Roadrunners. The team has such players as Michael Vick, Nick Collins, Jarrett Boykin and Aaron Rouse. Other former stars are OchoCinco, Jacoby Jones, Jason Avant and others.
Here is the rules
