When it comes to Orlando sports, I really must be the proverbial black cat that curses everything around him. Went to the Apollos game and witnessed their first loss in one of the most anticlimactic ways possible.

At least you seen one hell of a game!! Lot of receivers on both those teams I'd love to bring into camp.

Yeah it was. What I didn't appreciate is the majority of fans leaving after the QB fumbled. It was juuuuust under 2 mins and we had 2 timeouts. We still had a chance to get the ball back and did just that. Fairweather fans. No wonder why home crowds of FL teams suck.

Tom Dundon says the AAF may not see a season two next year if the NFLPA doesn't let young NFL players play next year. He says they can't be a developmental league if the union doesn't give them players. Basically Dundon wants the league to be a developmental league for the NFL and if the NFL won't give them players then he won't keep the AAF going.

Really is a shame. The NFL could really use a pro-style developmental system given that NCAA teams really don't coach well at certain positions. And some of the games were legitimately really exciting.
From the rumors swirling it seems like Dundon only wanted the gambling app, and some of the people really were just kinda scummy in how they handled everything. Here's hoping the XFL 2.0 turns out to be more stable. Vince has apparently already built up a $500 million dollar war chest for it.

At least the Apollos had the best record. Take Aim, motherfuckers!

They did. They shut down the league

It's unfortunate due to the reasons that Raine posted. Who tf knows what'll happen with the XFL....

Well, there was one team they didn't beat. The Hotshots had a claim to the best after beating the Apollos and Commanders. If it would have lasted one more week they might have beaten the Iron too.

Wolford with his style would actually be a great fit here. He would just have to be willing to be on practice squad unless there;'s an injury of course. 2 guys I would like to bring into camp for a looksee would be ILB Greer Martini who just seemed to be involved in every play and Rashard Ross who I thought had reliable hands with YAC ability.
You left out Johnny Manziel. He'd fit in great in Vince McMahon's world.

Yeah, for better or worst, Manziel would get some ratings.
