http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2018/09/2 ... -near.html "Are you ready for more football? A new league called the Alliance of American Football (AAF) revealed the names and logos of the final four teams that will be playing in the upstart NFL competitor come February. The AAF was founded by TV and film producer Charlie Ebersol and former NFL executive Bill Polian and intends to start play just one week after Super Bowl LIII. The season will last 10 weeks, leading to a four-team playoff, ending with a championship game April 28. Should the league survive into 2020, it will be a direct-competitor with the XFL, which has also marketed itself as an alternative to the NFL." "Most AAF teams have already hired coaches with big name pedigrees. Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary is set to coach the Memphis Express, college football coaching legend Steve Spurrier will be on the sideline for the Orlando Apollos and former NFL great Michael Vick is an offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Legends. Some notable former NFL and college players include: Quarterbacks Trevor Knight, Blake Sims and Zach Mettenberger; running backs Trent Richardson and Zac Stacy; wide receivers Stephen Hill and L’Damian Washington; offensive lineman Cyril Richardson; defensive lineman Will Sutton; linebacker Jonathan Massaquoi; cornerback Will Davis; and kicker Nick Novak." |

Will AAF talk be more popular than NBA talk? |

good dolphin wrote: I'm usually ready for a break from football by the end of the super bowl Yeah, you'd think rather than competing with March Madness and the start of baseball season and NHL/NBA regular season/playoffs starting it after the NBA/NHL playoffs and running it to the end of August would fill a void in the sports schedule. But then isn't that when the CFL season runs? And nobody south of the border watches CFL games. |

San Diego is playing in the old Chargers stadium... that will be a really good atmosphere of 50,000 empty blue chairs. The rest look to be renting out the local university stadium. No listed price yet, but you can reserve your season tickets for just $50 a piece. |

I guess it will fill a niche and at least get more viewers than sand volleyball. |

A Blackhawks run for the playoffs and Spring Training and March Madness are all I need this time of year. |
