That was my understanding as well until I checked the channel guide. They're gonna hype things up with a 30 minute pregame.

ahh well good.

Again, if this goes right, it can expand a bit, and be the NFL minor leagues of sorts. WHich can bridge the offseason gap. Could work out perfect actually and expand some NFL

That's what they want. They don't want to be the next UFL, they want to be the next NFL Europe, but with American teams. The AAF wants that NFL Seal of Approval especially with the XFL slated to try again next year and the Freedom Football League possibly starting up in a year or 2 if they can get everything organized.

What channel is this on?

Steve Spurrier is great for football....love his twang.

There's minor leagues in MLB and NBA.....there needs to be one for the NFL and this could be it.

 

[Kace-1]

What channel is this on?

CBS, but it's the Southeast regional broadcast. Most of the country's getting the Alamodome game. I'm fortunate enough to be able to flip back and forth between both.

Got SD vs SA here.

 

[Kace-1]

Oh okay.

We have a grandfathered in setup from about 23 years ago which allows us access to the Los Angeles and New York City CBS and NBC channels. Tonight is where that comes in handy.

 

[Black Adam]

Got SD vs SA here.

Yep, that's what I got here...

Interesting difference in rules...

 

[obxyankeefan]

Both games are being streamed live on the AAF website.

"Atlanta, you're the visiting team, is that correct?" You mean you're not sure???

 

[Kace-1]

We kick the season off with... no kickoff.
