Skip to 3:29 if you want to see the basic info about the league.

My friend went to the game.

Your friend like the game, aside from it not being competitive? I watched a few minutes, but not enough to see any difference in nfl/cfb and aaf.

Only main difference is they have to go for two and no kick offs.

There are some defensive rules I didn’t pay attention to and the play clock is shorter.

Birmingham Iron = GOAT

Yeah, he liked it. He's a pretty big football fan and follows a lot of players from high school to NFL. Last time I saw him we saw a high school game in Georgia.

At home, it's pretty nice. Very short commercial breaks, so short they don't even really break to them, just have like a 15-30 second ad to the right while the game feed still shows on the left. One of the weirdest rules is that they only let you send 5 players on blitzes. That and "onside kicks" are actually run as 4th and 12 from your own 28. The other cool thing is on TV they show you the replay official making their decision, so you see what's going to happen before they announce it to the crowd.

Chris Simms and Garrett Gilbert were the QBs for Atlanta and Orlando, respectively. 2 old Texas QBs. Ryan Green and Marvin Bracy from FSU were on the Apollos. Lots of familiar faces like Mike Martz, Mike Singletary, Steve Spurrier, etc.

It's a league for people who enjoy football. It's also on CBS which makes it accessible.

Orlando up 20-8 at halftime against the Birmingham Iron. :popcorn

Apollos beat the crap out of the Birmingham Iron 31-14. 5-0. :rockin :champ

Spurrier went full Gata and lost an easy game. Fucking loser. 6-1, still best team in the AAF.

The creamer for my coffee lasts longer in my fridge than this league did.

Who didn’t see this coming?

Yep. The NFL could help them out and keep it as a development league. Good luck with that.
Got no playmakers and no one in the league people want to pay to see play. Take note XFL.

AAF = Ain't About Fuck
