I have but only the first game will be shown on local. Excited then quickly realize there was nothing to be excited about. Should be on CBS not CBS sport. And don't know one give me the doo dat about how its available on some apps, I hate watching football on a tiny phone!

Well ya know? WERE YOU to employ one of Those old FRENSAL convex ground glass magnifying lenses Scavenged out of the old projection screen T.V.'s and a few various frilly lacy elasticity girdle /brassiere type of accouterments of ladies undergarment things ,of which you could more than likely swipe from yer' AUNT MABLE'S underwear drawer,the next time yer' rummaging around in there, in yer' weekly ritualistic mannered fashion,,, you could prolly rig yerself up in a brainiac sorta way,along with a migraine inducing practiced hand as to where that holding distance between yer tiny phone screen & that field expedient designed mono ocular securely strapped across yer mugs forehead prolly wouldn't be all that bad of a viewing mode fer' you,,,ya know? Just saying, Bro! :thumbup:

Literally the biggest mistakes they could make. I like everything about the league, teams logo, jersey designs, the rules, and etc...

I was really really disappointed when I found out about this decision as I been following AAF since I first heard about it last year.

Which 2 teams are You gonna root for?

I'm hoping this league falls flat on its face. It was only cobbled together at the last minute to try and stick it to the actual new competitive football league starting next year.

And no, it can't be better than the NFL. The NFL created for the sole purpose of insuring that we aren't exposed to anything that can compete with the NFL.

SMASHMOUTH9473 · Feb 5, 2019

It is my understanding that the AAF is a developmental league where all teams will be running a pro style offense. Makes sense when evaluating talent in the off season before the NFL draft. One would think, when evaluating a player, weather or not they could help a NFL team knowing how they performed running a pro style offense vs a college style offense.

I have a rooting interest for the Arizona Hotshots. A good friend of mine, his son Larry Rose III, is a running back for the Hotshots.

It sounded good, but not airing on free tv somewhere so most people have access and can get into it , is a huge mistake.

Sammy · Feb 5, 2019

CBS Sports is only on the 2nd tier of any streaming service that I've seen. That's usually around $40 a month. Too much. If it were on one of the lower tiers that usually cost $20 I might try watching but even $20 is a big might for unseen unproven league games.

Another thing is there are only 4 games total per week, on free tv over antennae all on cbs........so maybe they could get Romo to do some games??

but if you see all 4 that is seeing the whole of league action! like watching 16 games in NFL.

One good thing is no NE lol so if your tired of them.

Anyone want to start an office pool on which team will be the first NE, cheating scandals and all?

Yeah, I don't think the NFL opposes this league at all. Like you said, they probably view it as a developmental league. According to the article below, they're airing some of the games on NFL Network.

Probably all of them! On a serious note, not San Diego for sure because of how the Navy treated me. I will root for the Legends and the Apollos because I was suppose to move to Orlando in 02 but that got cancel and move to Atlanta in 06 but that got cancel. So now I'll be stuck in LA or lala land forever

I dont know any of these players , so no clue, but Dustin Vaughan QB does ring a bell.

I would need to see the teams play, but it doesnt look like that will happen except for wk 1.

Hey, you're good. I had to wiki it to find out he was an undrafted FA picked up by the Cowboys in 2014. He was waived in 2015 to bring on . . . yep you guessed it, Kellen Moore.

They definitely aren't opposed, they were instrumental in its formation. It was started to water down any impact that the XFL might have.

Wonder why I have seen almost no advertising for the AAF? Had you not posted this I would have not known the season was beginning.

no joke, its a CBS product, not sure why they didnt give themselves a Super Bowl ad

Its not Arena football at all. Its real semi-professional football with former NFL coaches and some players that fail in the NFL or is too old. Marty is one of the coaches I believe. Its going to be a full football field. Arena football was dang awful!

Gee, my appreciation gauge indicates the needle is approaching the red line of it's appreciation indicatorness,pal

they make too much $ off SB ads, but they could have promoted better than they have.
I dont watch any cbs shows any more, just football so I dont know if they adv in some other shows or not.
Well I do watch survivor, it comes back in feb, so see if they adv it there.

hell they could have did an 3 second in game ad, I don't even remember them promoting it during the regular season or playoffs actually. I've only heard about it online

Flamma · Feb 7, 2019

If they truly do limit the commercials I'll give it a chance. But I'm not watching a 3 hour game with these leftovers.
