AAF - Any Thoughts on It?

SpikedDawg

I don't think this has been covered yet by other posters but what is everyone's impression about the Alliance of American Football (AAF) that's coming this next month? I know they're gonna be shown on CBS and my fiance and I plan to go to the home opening game for Atlanta Legends but just wanted to see what everyone else thought about it. I'm fairly excited to see Sanders, Murray, Swann, Mauger, Carter, and Nizialek all out on the field again.

I'm not necessarily excited, but glad there's football in the off-season.

My main question I suppose is do you think it will last? I hope it does because the off-season is absolutely dreadful for those who don't really enjoy baseball or etcetera.

Are they all playing for the Atlanta team?

I for one hate etcetera.

Yup! Along with quite a few Tech, West Georgia, and Georgia Southern players.

No clue if it lasts, but if I had to guess, I'd say no it will not last. Purely speculating of course.

Dang, the only one I heard about was Nizialek. I'm pumped then!

They have a tv deal. As long as people set their expectations appropriately, it should be fine. They are doing smart things by signing local boys to be on the team. The Atlanta team itself has many former dawgs.

if it doesn't work, XFL starts back up next year

I am too! I expect players to probably be rusty to an extent. Just hope it can be a nice spring football league - better than the shudder arena football league.

Meh. By this time I’m kind of ready for the offseason. I’m glad former Dawgs are getting a chance to keep playing, but it won’t be appointment TV.

Trent Thompson is on Arizona.

It’s not really built to compete with the NFL, the regionalizing of talent is a fantastic idea IMHO (for example, the ATL and Birmingham teams have several memorable collage players) and the rules are designed to favor the offense so there should be plenty of scoring. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

So long as it doesn't try to compete with the NFL, and they put a good product out there they should be fine. I think there is space for a second league that plays in the spring that can help develop players who aren't yet good enough to play in the NFL

Was looking at this the other day and honestly, I love the idea of it and am gonna give it a shot. We'll see, but it sure looks like it's gonna be a good product... Go Legends!
