Alliance of American Football
This is a new Football league that had its inaugural games this weekend, carried by CBS no doubt.
Players are a mix of undrafted College players and former NFL draftees that couldn't make it. Coaches, most of them anyway, are former NFL coaches. For example, Atlanta's coach is Brad Childress (Former Vikings HC, Chiefs OC etc) I didn't watch, but evidently the ratings were BETTER than the NBA I did watch a few highlights. I saw part of the San Diego/San Antonio game where the Quarterback got LEVELED and refreshingly enough there was no flag. Obviously, the production values are a bit lower, but the hits were hard and the players are talented. This shit could catch on I think. The players aren't millionaire prima-dona's and the game moves at a faster pace with less commercials...AND it's not ****ing REF Ball where the Zebra's are stacking the deck in one teams favor. It's refreshing and I think I am going to like it. Oh, and they respect the Military as well. https://aaf.com |

I didn't even know about this league until the games were already over. They need to fire their marketing people.
It is essentially a minor league for football. |

I can assure you; the NFL noticed, and is reading all about it today.

I enjoyed watching Steve Spurrier's offense light it up (got the Atlanta @ Orlando game Sat. night since we're in the August, GA TV market).

They see it as a good thing as of today. With the CBA the way it is, and the lack of practice and hitting...they know they desperately need somewhere to develop players. IMO, if the AAF can tread water, the NFL will only strengthen ties. The XFL is more of the outsider in this game. |
