Alliance of American football starts next month

[Jmac]

Just curious....for everyone fed up with the NFL hierarchy and the referee bullcrap, will you give this a chance to see what they got?

Unless watching the Patriots every year in the SB and bad refereeing floats your boat that is....you gonna watch????

If it doesn't interfere with my schedule.

[DeeJay]

Cant wait to see this

XFL in 2020 woo woo

[davos]

It's fairly affiliated with the league in hopes of becoming essentially a minor league that competes with the XFL.  I think it can become a success and drive competition from the XFL 2.0.  Polian has been planning this for a while and there's some prominent investors.  Maybe the two products competing will make each other better.

I'll check it out to see how the talent stacks up and if it's watchable.  They have coaches who have run NFL teams and players who've been on the NFL field.  I can see the talent looking better than expected given recent small football league history a la Arena and XFL.

Marketing wise...AAF doesn't roll off the tongue though, should have done the AFA.  Even works better in full: American Football Alliance sounds much better than "The Alliance of American Football"

Our team looks like fugging LSU and the Saints had a kid. That's definitely a good way to attract the Georgia fan base.

[Captain Morgan]

I'm gonna watch cause it's football, plain and simple.  Wish we had a local team to root for.  Can't understand why all these minor league football leagues don't give Raleigh Durham a chance.

Sounds like a branch of the SS for Nazis or something.

[The Lobo]

So who do we root for, Atlanta?

Close enough for me. 

[PantherPhann89]

Yes,  i'm watching because it's professional football. Although, I'll have no affiliation to a team or players but I think it'll be interesting, especially after the NFL season has ended. 

I don't see it as competition for the NFL but i do think that where it will affect the NFL will be the group of undrafted players.

Watching a spring league that wants to basically be an NFL developmental league to trigger the NFL is a bad idea.

I am interested but I don't like some of the rule changes and there's not a nearby team.

They've got Stephen Hill as their WR, and Garret Gilbert is with orlando

[nogoodbum]

It's football. Yes I'll watch, especially compared to some of the other crap/reruns on TV now-a-days.
