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.

dfosterf (21m) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (1h) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (3h) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (4h) : What? And who?

Mucky Tundra (10h) : *sad Mucky noises*

Mucky Tundra (10h) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (17h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (17h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (17h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (20h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : I am very happy that for moment, Jordan Love seems like a normal human being

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Belichick * whatever

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : "There's a lot of depth at Offensive Tackle and Wide Receiver." Bill Bellichick

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Thanks! I can't believe it's over haha

Martha Careful (16-Apr) : Congratulations

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Boom. Student Loan. $0.00. Only took about 20 years.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : Packers DT Kenny Clark: New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will 'allow us to be way more disruptive'

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : Saints have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.

beast (12-Apr) : No, but of it's for legislation, then half of the country will find it evil, not good, whatever it says....

Mucky Tundra (12-Apr) : Draft is still 2 weeks away. UGH
