  • You can bet if DK or FD can make a buck they will if it takes off

  • I'm excited...gonna keep an open mind. 

  • Former Browns in AAF...  https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2019/2/9/18218687/which-former-browns-players-are-playing-in-the-aaf     

    Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends Team Brotherhood-"It's not about You,Me or I. It's about building We"..Hue Jackson

  • Like good preseason football with scheming...kinda digging it. Watching SD vs SA, all defense...but kind of expected...we see similar in camp. Potential is there...this can fill the void quite nicely ?

  • I've got Orlando up 22-6 over Atlanta..Spurrier is reaching into Freddie's playbook😉.Bucks WR Jalen Marshall looks legit. It's hard to find 15 good QB's in the NFL..And Simms vs Gilbert qualifies under top 75..so that's why there here..It's a good flip, checking in on hockey..

  • The Alliance of American Football (AAF) is a professional American football league founded by Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian. It opened play in February 2019, one week following the National Football League's Super Bowl LIII championship game. The AAF consists of eight centrally owned and operated teams. All but one (Salt Lake) are located in cities on or south of the 35th paralleland all but one (Birmingham) in metropolitan areas that have at least one major professional sports franchise. Six of the eight teams are in markets lacking an NFL team, except for Atlanta and Arizona........

    .......

    As part of its formation, the AAF announced broadcast deals with CBS Sports; opening day (consisting of two regionally-televised games)[31] aired on CBS, as will the championship game. CBS Sports Network will air at least one game per week, and one of the playoff games. CBS broadcast an ad for the league during its coverage of Super Bowl LIII.[32][14][33] In addition to local stations,[34] TNT will broadcast two games per season (one regular season and a playoff game) while NFL Network airs two weekly games.[35] The league's mobile app will offer live streaming of all games, as well as provide integrated fantasy games,    ]while Turner's B/R Live will stream one game a week.[35] Select games are also carried on SiriusXM.[36]

    CBSSN's game of the week will be called by Ben Holden, Adam Archuleta, and John Schriffen.[31] NFL Network's broadcast team consists of Dan Hellie on play-by-play and Marvin Lewis on color commentary.[37]

    It was later announced that TNT's broadcast team consists of Brian Anderson on play-by-play, Marvin Lewis on color commentary, and Maurice Jones-Drew as sideline reporter.[38]

  • And of course being a money guy I had to check this out (everything on TV comes down to money one way or another).......   http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24076702/alliance-american-football-players-get-3-year-250k-contracts

    Less than eight months before the scheduled start of its new pro league, the Alliance of American Football has rolled out details about player allocation, a combine, a draft and salary expectations.

    League co-founder Bill Polian, an ESPN NFL analyst, said the league will give players three-year, non-guaranteed contracts worth $250,000 each.

    Players can leave the league, which is set to kick off Feb. 9, to go to the NFL. Polian said it's currently unclear whether a player's rights will revert back to the AAF after a three-year period expires or if the clock stops ticking on a team's three-year rights when a player gets "called up" to the big time.

    Salaries will be in line with AAF competitor the XFL, which has said it will pay players an average of $75,000 per season. That league launches in 2020.

    Polian said a contract will include state-of-the-industry health insurance and an education stipend to any player who completes a year in the league........continued.......

    Hey, it's football....  Not a college basketball fan. And the way the NBA is set up- not much interest there either... Sorry LeBron, the Pelicans weren't about to gift you Davis so you could go to another NBA Final....

    Agree there, I do watch some of the few INDIANS preseason TV games but outside of the MARCH MADNESS tournament I do zero hoops, golf, NASCAR, whatever.

    I will stop in on a few AAF games if there are no good movies or I'm not playing chess or whatever. The NFL Draft has some interest.

    Feb - MLB Opening Day, the great sports dead zone!

    You would make me look that up. Still in the NFL (for now) hanging on with the Denver Broncos. 🙂

  • The hit in the San Diego-San Antonio game was brutal, lol.

    When they figure out it's not a passing league, or rather a limited passing league, the balance will come. I figured RBs would like up yards...

    Not a passing league? The 5 men blitz rule makes me think it is even more a passing league than the NFL.

    I think it is going to be used as a lab for future NFL rules or changes in the game. No kickoffs, for example.

  • My AAF team is terrible and they misuse my favorite player.
