I would watch if they got Manziel.

I'd say it's worth watching regardless. Some interesting rules that the NFL is using the league to test out. I like the onside kick in AAF more than the current onside kick. For those that don't know it's an offensive down 4th and 12 at their own 35. If you make the first down you retain posession. The transparency with the sky judge ref who can call a penalty that's really bad that was missed is nice.

And just like that the NFL is looking into adding a sky judge so the Saints robbery doesn't happen again.

I like this guy. The XFL might as well not even launch IMO. AAF got their s**t together and already have ins with the NFL

I think the XFL will launch, but if they think they can convince NFL prospects to forego the NFL they're crazy. I love The AAF, hoping for a bay area team in 2020.

I hope you did; the second half was amazing. Last quarter especially. Legit football madness going on there!

This league is actually pretty fun. It's not as good as the NFL. But it's nice having football in the offseason. More tailgating and more football in the offseason is great. I have season tickets to the San Diego Fleet. It's a good entertainment option IMO.

Yeah I'd call it a success so far.

I love watching smaller adult leagues. I used to go watch Daly City Renegade games when I live in SF. I live in Canada now, 3 blocks from a CFL stadium. The AAF is waaaaaaay more watchable... wish they could merge the two league and adopt AAF rules.

I also wish we'd bring Gardner back to the 9ers. That dude is tearing it up for the Fleet.
