AAFL League? (1 Viewer)

So are they going to have a draft every year, how does that work? I think it's cool, just wondering if it's going to be draft like, or do players play for their state if they have a team

FWIW, Fred Weary was picked by the Florida team. It's good to see him still playing football. He was pretty productive for the Saints til he hurt his knee.

Follow this link to request that your area get a team in the future. Maybe if they get enough requests for a team from LA or MS they will give us one.

Strike 1! From FAQ:

Will beer and other alcoholic beverages be sold at the games?

Alcoholic beverages will not be available in games played in a host university's stadium. The availability of alcoholic beverages at other venues will be determined based upon the arrangements for those venues. (No beer will be sold at home games for Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Gainesville-based games for Florida. I don't know how they will count Legion Field -- doesn't UAB play there?)

FWIW, I think it's hilarious that a league started by college football's biggest idiots errrrrrrrrrr officials can come up with a three-team playoff for a six team league, but they can't errrrrrrrrrrrrr won't come up with any playoff for a 120-something team league.

I'm prediciting that, after an intial spike, the ratings and attendance for this will plummet ala the XFL. As a fan of football, I hope I'm wrong.

Well Actually the attendance for the XFL was pretty good....and the league would have gone on for one more season but NBC chickened out. When they pulled their backing then what was the league to do?

It started out OK, but it (and the ratings) dropped like a rock in the second half of the season.

I think the XFL was doomed because of who was in charge and his need to add the "cheese" factor. Remember the cheerleaders who said their quarterback could "score"?
