AAF

The SD/SA game was on in the restaurant we were eating dinner in last night. Didn't get to hear the call - but looked like a decent crowd and the football wasn't awful. Woodside put the ball in good spots most of the night. Some good catches - a few too many drops. Was expecting it to be bad football - but was watchable. Expected to see more names that I recognized though.
 
What if this works - as a true B league for the NFL and HS/JUCO kids that aren’t up for college academics.

There’s definitely room for it. And guys who want to leave after their freshman year can play in AAF for a year then get drafted in the nfl
 
If you are good enough to get drafted after your sophomore year nobody makes you deal with academics. I think its pretty unlikely - and college freshman would really struggle against grown men.

If this new minor league succeeds for more than a few seasons, it’s clearly targeted some areas potentially less inclined to acknowledge CTE.
 
The overnight CBS ratings were 2.9 million. That number outdrew the NBA on ABC.
The XFL coming in 2020, along with Tom Brady's agent proposed California minor league wants to invite college players to play. The AAF follows NFL rules, meaning no underclassmen.
Wish the AAF would have a rotating national CBS "game of the week." Many cord cutters would watch a 12 game season. How many would like to See practice squad players of their favorite team develop in a league like this?

At least they get after each other. Some great hits that would have been NFL flags. I wish they didn’t tinker with kickoffs, extra points and onsides
 
Summers had one of the stranger careers at UConn. He seemed to get worse the longer he was there. Then again....look at who was coaching. Glad to see him playing well.

I'll post in here tomorrow - but be on the lookout for my latest podcast episode. Interviewed Charlie Ebersol - co founder of the AAF -- and CT native.
 
I like kickoffs,sad to see them die. I also preferred sudden death over time, but I know i am in the minority.
 
I think the new inside kick rule in the NFL has ruined the onside kick. I like the AAF's alternative. I also HATE the NFL's OT rule. You lose the coin toss (Chiefs), sorry, your offense doesn't get a chance to tie this game if they (Patriots) score

That WAS the NFL overtime rule.

The new NFL OT rule is basically the first one to 6 and funny that I didn't see the Rams complaining. If the defense forces a turn over or holds the opponent to a field goal on the first possession, the offense gets the ball. The defense gets paid too.

i dont like the forced 2 pt conv.

they should offer 1 pt for free or you can risk that 1 pt for 2. still no pats and so much of the game doesnt boil down to conversions.
 
Someone made a suggestion today on Pardon My Take to have a 'Chunk Football League.' All skill position players required to be over 300 lbs. All lineman must be under 200 lbs. Would be amazing.

Which category do the linebackers fall into? I think that would lose it's following pretty quickly, especially since one, both, or merged variety of these spring leagues hopes to become an NFL farm system.

You're missing the "and your defense couldn't stop them from marching down the field for a TD" part that goes in the middle there.. It's important.

I've heard that players would never want to change to college rules and frankly don't want to play OT because by the end of the game, they're too exhausted. They just want the game to be over. I think putting the ball at the 10 is the best thing to do; also fewer risky high-impact plays (minus crosses) happen in smaller space like the redzone.

I hate tying though. I think in a perfect world, you do college rules but teams start a couple first downs out of FG range, like their own 40 or something
