I just can't believe people didn't want to watch hyped up pre-season games the week after the Super Bowl

I watched about 15 minutes worth of one game out of curiosity. Meh is an overstatement, lol.

I love football, but when the season's over it's nice to have a few hours of the weekend open up.

Just heard on Jim Rome. Whoever is filling in for him says Tom Dundon is going to take a 70 million dollar bath on that investment.

I posted this in another thread on February 19th:

Why would he cut a 250 million dollar check to save an upstart league that was already going under after 2 weeks? It doesn't seem like a very wise investment.

I wish he'd have paid me to be a financial consultant. Because I sure as hell wouldn't have cost him 70 million in 6 weeks like whoever the idiot was who advised him to do this in the first place.

So... how do we figure out who wins our fantasy league?

I got to watch part of a game in a bar.

Johnny Football lost again.

The league was doomed once they failed to get the NFLPA on board.

Did you know the AAF was an NFL development league? Neither did I until the Carolina Hurricanes owner was crying about the two-timing NFL(PA) not holding up their end of the "bargain". This, despite no mentioning of the AAF being a developmental league when initially announced.

The genius that is Bill Polian strikes again!

If this league can't make it work, not sure what hope the xfl has. Unless vince is willing to just shovel loads of cash in for a few years.

What happened to the other half of the ticket? I know they're trying to conserve paper, but DAMN!!

Manziel is so toxic that once he went there we heard it may, and subsequently did, fold.

Probably by being gimmicky like the old XFL. Leagues like the AAF and UFL failed because it was just simply too much like the NFL with worse players.
