I watched a few minutes, and it didn’t really grab me.
I enjoyed Arena football more.

I watched the end of the SD/SA game and the first half of the AZ/SL game. The SD/SA game had an exciting finish.

I thought the execution was pretty good. The play calls were pro level and professional and all the QBs could throw which is more than you can say about college football. I think I even saw the jets-sweep a couple times.

There also is a sense of unfamiliarity when watching these games. The most recognizable names to me on Saturday where Jayrone Elliot and Mike Martz. It will be interesting to see what this looks like in a couple weeks when certain players start standing out in the stats and highlights.

This new league is intended to develop and showcase talented players who are looking for a second chance at an NFL team. Others play for the love of the game and welcome the opportunity to continue to play.

I never expected to see NFL level teams, however I do believe that they will improve each week and AAF Stars will rise to the top. I'm not ready to dismiss it at all, besides they are the only football games available and I can appreciate that.

In addition, a few of this leagues players will get invited to tryout for NFL teams. The only thing that I don't like is their No Kickoff rule.

I may be wrong, but I believe that moving forward, all AAF games will be exclusive to the NFL NETWORK. For many of you this is not a problem as you can afford the NFL Network as a part of your channel package. Some of us don't get more than a minimum package. ESPN, TBS, NFL Network, and much more are not a part of package that my rent provides.

As a result I'll have to read your post on the AAF to keep up a basic knowledge of this league. I look forward to reading your post.

Remember Charles Johnson? I liked him, but since the Green Bay medical staff failed to diagnose that he tore his knee up, he soured on the team. Became a Viking.

Another one of these big fast analytics guys. Sounds like he's putting it together in the minors.

This new league has folded. Read the reports on ESPN, PTF, and others. It was never going to get the support it needed from it's owners. They do now have a betting app that will make them a ton of cash.

Goodbye Alliance of American Football, Vince McMahon and the upcoming XFL should be taking notes before they take to their fields in the spring of 2020.

    Zero2Cool (1h) : QB coach Sean Mannion
    Zero2Cool (1h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington
    dfosterf (4h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport
    dfosterf (4h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft
    dfosterf (4h) : So eeri
    Mucky Tundra (7h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
    beast (9h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
    beast (9h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
    Mucky Tundra (9h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
    beast (12h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
    Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal
    Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.
    Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

    Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer
    TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later
    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
    buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
    TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL
    Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over
    beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs
    Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts
    packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,
    beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
    beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
    Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
    Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
    Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
    Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!
    beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋
    Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
    dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
    beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
    Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
    Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
    beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
    beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
    dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

    wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
    wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
    Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
