Alliance of American football league...what u think?

[Jmac]

Starts on Feb 9 2019. 8 teams to start off (first team announced to be in Orlando). Steve Spurrier first head coach. 2 1/2 hour game length with 30 seconds between plays. No kickoffs. CBS to carry the games. What do you think....do you want more football?

Why is it always Orlando for these types of leagues?

[Jangler]

will there be cheerleaders?

Spurrier would sell his mama for lunch money.

I think it’s a few things. 

I believe he city of Orlando owns an actual stadium. Probably easy to make a deal to use the stadium during off season of college and pro football. 

Orlando is a decent sized market. Central of Florida and only and hour or so from Tampa, 2 from Jacksonville. Probably gets a nice size tv coverage which = $$$ for advertisers.

Flights from everywhere are pretty cheap too because of Disney. Like Vegas.

According to what I read the coaches won't be announced until after cities.

The Alliance of American Football league will be huge because of Steve Spurrier  He could draw more retired college football coaches

So it starts like 2 days after the Superbowl?  I think that's too soon, right around draft time would be good,  people would be ready for football again.

NFL games avg. 2 hours and 52 minutes. They want to shave that back to keep it at a faster pace. We will see how they achieve this.

I thought you mean the clock length was 2.5 hours.

I'd hate to have to play football in Orlando in the summertime.
