So primetime on CBS. At least it won't be buried on some obscure channel to start. I'll give it a look tonight.

NFL Pick 'em

Looks like to me Orlando the team to beat.

But rooting for memphis. Dontez Byrd was one of my WR sleepers last year

Don't the offenses in these new leagues usually suck hord?

Quick glance at the rosters and I only recognize like 2-3 players on any given team.

I think my team will be the Memphis Express for a few reasons.

Mike Singletary Head Coach
Pepper Johnson LB coach
They got a 5'8" WR nicknamed Pig
Team is probably named after FedEx

It looks pretty clear the SD Fleet is going to take the league in this first year. When you have a Mike Martz - Josh Johnson HC/QB combo, you're going to be tough to beat. :-)

I like how this league isn't considered a competitive league to the NFL; rather, the NFL is seemingly on board with it being a developmental league of sorts, kind of a "minor leagues" for the NFL.

Yeah it seems that the NFL is on board with this. This might end up working.

I do like that the NFL is on board with this, but really, what's the over under for how many of these guys actually take an NFL snap in the future?

A lot of former niners are playing in this league like Quinton Patton, Mike Purcell, Andrew Tiller

NFL will probably steal some stuff

AAF games kicking off now. If you're watching, you'll realize their officiating plan is much better than what the NFL has in place right now. https://t.co/usJBBRuG8t
